Experiences at Bally Total Fitness

I learn that you need to be sensitive to people needs and understand feelings. I have learned that what you say can make the biggest impact on a persons view of how see themselves and life.

Meeting new people, seeing people achieve their goals and making a difference in someones life who has come into the gym with no hope and low self esteem and see them in a month with a whole new attitude.

Never really the same work daily. There were different job responsibilities so the job never became boring or humdrum.
