Hi! Would you like to tell us something about yourself? Who are you, what do you like, what defines you?
I’m Simona Mirarchi, I’m 29 years old, from Naples, and I moved to Florence a year ago. Former dancer at the San Carlo Theatre. For 3 years I have been part of the Virgin Active family, where I work as a Group Trainer specialized in Pilates/balance.
My greatest passion is dance which, cultivated since childhood, has been instrumental in shaping my character.
In fact, the qualities that best represent me are rigor and discipline, which I still try to convey today in my role as a Group Trainer.
And at work? What would a colleague who knows you well say about you?
I believe that at first impression my colleagues think I am a helpful, cheerful and polite person. I certainly believe I give the impression of being a determined, decisive and well-prepared young woman. But I am sure that what my colleagues love and appreciate about me are authenticity and loyalty, qualities in which I recognize myself every day and of which I am proud.
Dreams and plans for your future career?
I hope never to settle and always to have the desire to grow and to continue training. My dream is to always have new goals to reach and even greater challenges to tackle.
The best thing about your job?
The best thing about my job is the feeling it gives me of always feeling alive, with the desire to create and to satisfy both myself and others. Feeling the need to create fresh and captivating sessions. This is the beauty of my job.
