today was another slower day, not too many people in the gym, i came in a little early today because i didnt have to stay at track for as long. which was nice because i got to see some new people that i dont normally see and nick was able to leave early to take his some to soccer practice. i think this types of thing is good because it shows that you are someone you can count on to be super early rather than a little late. plus you can build more relationships with members when you come at different times.

today was a pretty lack luster day, it is super nice outside so there is maybe 2 people at the gym, the place it utterly spotless so that takes cleaning out. so to be honest i sat in the office and read through my theory of strength and conditioning book hoping for someone to come in. i was sorely disappointed.

today was another boot camp night. they all arrived about 10 minutes early so the trainer took them through a good mile warm up with a a little dynamic stretch followed by 400 meters. they were all fairly tied but were able to get in done in about 15 minutes which looking at the crowd is a pretty good accomplishment. once everyone was ready we went through a short ab circuits with cross crunch oblique crunches. scissors, leg raises, and bicycles. once this was finished they did stations with the rope pull, box jumps. dead lifts, assisted pull ups and push press. they did each exercise for 45 seconds with about 10 seconds rest between for 3 reps each. once this was finished they did a really short interval workout on the ark trainers with 30 seconds easy 15 seconds as hard as possible for about 3 or so minutes. really it was a good workout for their level of fitness.

Today is the start of my last week here at snap fitness. I started it out with some light cleaning and membership filing from last weeks sign ups. no one came in for a sign up and i dont think our trainer had any clients tonight because i dont recall seeing him. however the gym was pretty busy. there was a steady flow of people from the time i came in to now. i talked to a few of the people that are regulars at this time and helped spot a younger kid on the bench press. other than that i really didnt do a whole lot.

Today i was supposed to help our trainer with some client training but two out of our four people decided they wanted to leave town at the last minute. and low and behold they were the two i was going to work with. as far as this experience goes i thing i gained more knowledge with the sales portion rather than the training portion which leads me to the thought of possibly opening my own gym. but then again i have o business sense what so ever. that means i'd need a partner! either way i think each place will give you a different experience and you wont find the same one where ever you go because the people are different, the way its run is different, and you will gradually learn and grow through it.

Today they started another session of boot camp. before it began i tried to get through all the little cleaning duties that i had. once that was finished i got in a couple minutes after they started. they were able to use pretty much the whole gym because there really werent too many people here. they did a little circuit with some box pushes, kettle bell swings, rowing machine, treadmill intervals,and some light plyometric training. they all seemed to enjoy it and there were a lot more people signed up for the session than normal so thats very good.

another day another dollar. i got another sign up tonight. it wasnt like a normal sign up. a current member who was very successful in losing a whole bunch of weight wanted to sign her sister up so it would give her the incentive to sign up also. well this just took me right to my heart because theres nothing better that knowing someone cares enough about you to help you make that first step towards becoming healthy. so i cut her an extra sweet deal by not making her pay anything this month or next month is she just paid full on the access card and junes monthly. so really her sister would get a month and a half for free. who can argue with that! plus this woman has been a long time member and she actually just changed her membership agreement from monthly to an 18 month commitment package. so you know she will be sticking around
