Responsibilities

Work the front desk: I was assigned to work the front desk while I built my client base. This started to fall off the more my schedule filled up with clients. Perform cold calls and goal assessments for people who accepted my offer of 2 free sessions: Goal assessments are how we get people in the door. We provide 2 free consultations to start out with. Clean the accessory rooms and break room: I was assigned every week to mop and wipe down tables and floors for each of the accessory rooms once a week. Make social media posts and edit them: I was required every Thursday to make a social media post of my choice that was posted on the Legacy Fitness Instagram page. Personal train clients that I have sold: After the two-goal assessments, my job was to get them to see the value in my services and sign up with me full time.

Accomplishments

My greatest accomplishment during the internship was getting a full schedule during my time at legacy. It started off slow but soon picked up and I got better and better at sales and cold calls.

Learning experience

Personal training is connecting with the clients on a personal level just as much as the actual training.

What advice would you give?

Gaining a large client base takes time and can feel discouraging at times, but keep going and your name will get out there.
