Work

I thought I’d do a quick blog on what my last day at work was like -let me just start by saying it was very interesting. It amazes me how many people come through the gym with so many different goals and aspirations. I did a few assessments on some ladies who had just joined. I asked one of them what did she want to achieve from coming to the gym and she told me she wanted to look like me. Although it was an awesome compliement, I managed to turn it around so that she was focussing on herself and she explained that she wanted to lose weight and tone up so she could look great. I wrote her a program and hopefully, if she is dedicated enough, next month we will see come great changes. I walked around the gym just casually watching everyone when I came across some young guys who obviously had never trained before and just had no idea. Although their friend was trying to show them what to do - he looked at me almost pleading with his eyes that I show them as well. I was more than happy to show them - but as soon as I walked away, they were doing it all wrong again. What can you do other than explain and show them?? Something I will learn about as I go along I suppose. There were a few big guys that came in and just took charge of the whole gym. You get the impression that they “are serious, are there for a reason, don’t talk to them just make way” LOL. It was good that a few of them came up and introduced themselves. There was one guy that came in and took his time on everything, made sure his towel was in the right spot everytime before he sat down or did what he had to do (all this with his sunglasses still on his head LOL), and then a lady came in on a mission - I swear, she was in and out in less than 15 minutes! I did a few new program starts, spotted for a few people, gave advice to others and had a good laugh with the rest. Overall, it was a really good 5 hours of work
