Work experience at 3V Fitness - Update

Hey everyone! How was your week? My week was awesome, I did my work experience at 3V, it was really exciting! I learnt heaps of new things.


Day 1: The first day was the hardest. I stayed at the reception area for pretty much the whole day with one of the instructors called Jessica. Learnt how to greet people the way they normally do, sell water bottles, give them the towels, etc... It was the hardest day because I was really shy, especially around the members. At the end of the day, I got to join a free class of RPM which was pretty intense.


Day 2: By day 2, I was already pretty comfortable with everyone. I learnt about marketing, about the classes and about how to get qualified as a Les Mills programs trainer with Bobby, a very wise instructor. I then proceed to a very interesting class of TRX. Starting from this day on, my lunch was Mi Ayam every day at a warung next to 3V Fitness.


Day 3: Day 3 started with a fun Body Pump class. This class is easier than the two other classes I did before, but was a bit harder to complete properly because I was very sore from the classes from the previous days. Right after lunch, I learnt how to give someone a fitness assessment with a trainer called Yanuk. And to finish the day, I learnt a bit more about marketing with Bobby.


Day 4: On day 4 I woke up even with more soreness than day 3 because I had rugby training the previous day after the work shift; luckily, the workout I did on day 4 was a stretching and balance class called Body Balance. Before lunch, I gave an actual member a fitness assessment for the first time, which went pretty well. For most of the day, all I did was gym supervision, but also learnt how to use the working out machines properly and some things on how to run a good fitness center with Bobby and Yvette.




Day 5: I started day 5 with a parkour class with the grade 7s and 8s from AIS at 3V Fitness Canggu. Right after the class, I just wanted to go home, I was exhausted, not from the class, but just from the work throughout the week. After lunch, I reviewed a bit about marketing with the assistant manager of 3V Fitness, Min, did some more gym supervision and off to saying thanks and goodbye to everyone.


That’s it. Thanks everyone for reading this post, hope that all of you have a great day and stay tuned for my next post.

    1. Looks great Francis, its so funny that you got more sore throughout the week. Stamina would be a key characteristic for a trainer. Great post.
