Fitness Program Assistant

August 2016 • Milwaukee, WI

What I liked

I love this job more than any job I have had! Working for University Recreation has been a great experience and it is preparing me for my future career. I am working alongside with the Fitness Program Director (which is the job I want for my future career) and I am getting great experience. I work with Personal Trainers, Fitness Specialists, and Fitness Attendants for UREC in which I organize schedules, manage the Fitness Center, and manage all personal training. The team that we have is great and we have created a mood and atmosphere that works well together, is very positive, and generates new ideas, . It is an amazing and fun experience to head the Fitness Program at UWM and I can't think of a better place to work.

What I wish was different

The only thing I would like to be different is if we had a bit larger space to work with. I think the staff that we have working for the Fitness Center are very eager to expand and the ideas that we all have, collectively, could be expressed better if we had a larger Fitness Center (weight room and cardio room specifically). The mood that we have created as a team is amazing and with a more broad area we can expand even further with the ideas we have.

Advice

If I were to give some advice, I would say that this position requires a lot of dedication and patience. To head a Fitness Program means that you must be accessible at all times and must be wiling to work with many different employees. You must work hard to meet deadlines for projects and have the patience when working with other employees.
