What I liked

I loved the member interactions and the positive, yet busy environment of the gym. I gained many new skills such as sales as well as trainer experience. Prior to working at this gym, I did not have sale experience. I enjoyed the opportunity of having sales experience, but also being able to work the floor and train members. My job was to teach kickboxing combinations and hold pads for each member. I worked with one other person and we monitored member check ins, loading the floor, demonstrating every station, holding pads for members at designated stations, and providing additional support such as stretches or modifications. My favorite part of my job was engaging with members and creating challenging combinations for them.

What I wish was different

I wish the location was open later or that the afternoon shift started later. Since I also nannied full time starting at 8:30 AM, I worked the 5:15-8:00 AM shift. While I loved the energy and seeing the members early in the morning, I would have also liked to engage with the afternoon members more. However, the afternoon shift started while I was still nannying, so I was unable to consistently work that shift.

Advice

By taking the time to get to know each member and check in to see how they are doing, they will be more comfortable communicating with you. You will be able to get to know their preferred kickboxing style and combinations and effectively tailor the pad work to them. This improves their experience and overall energy in the gym.
