week #7

Unfortunately my official co-op in miami has ended after 7 hard working weeks. During this experience I can know say that I know how a gym is runed, although I have much more to learn about the marketing and administrative aspect of the industry, I could not focus on on this in this short period of time. In the other hand I did learned about how everything works inside the gym, from how to train different types of people, to cleaning the machines, i did a lot of different jobs in the gym are, assisted clients, showed how to use the gym equipment, learned how to teach fitness classes and personalized classes to old and young people. I also worked in the beginning with kids and learned how to deal with my patience and how to deal with different situations such as angry parents or a crying kid.
I believe this co op has helped me learned a lot of things that only experience can give me, without this experience i would never have any idea of what this was like. Now I can say I did it...

Fifth Week

Surprisingly I have more than one month working full time and it has past by really fast, I had worked before in diffrent jobs but most of them were part time or only two or three weekdays aa week. Working on the th gym has helped me gain a lot of knowledge on the fitness indusrty and during this week I could attend a training meeting were we talked about the how people lifstyle affect their life and what we as trainers can do to help them out. This was one of the several things we have been doing this week. Sometimes I work extra hours to cover a working partner or something like that, for that reason I am being paid more and can get more working hours. Because I work eight hours a day, I dont count those hours I spend playing in the basketball court or working out oustside my working hours.

Forth Week

The fourth week has past by really fast, it has been fun to work inside the gym the whole day but what is know happening to me is that after i am done work I want to leave the gym as fast as possible and I do not get any time to do my own workout, even though I sometimes go to another gym closer to my house to lift some weights whenever I can.  For instance last week and this week  my schedule was reassign and now i get to work until the gym closes at 11, because of this change i have more responsibilities, I have to make sure the whole gym is cleaned, organized and everything of before i leave, and of course make sure no one stays inside the gym.
