1st week reflection

 This week was a very full week and had a lot of new experiences and learned a lot. I got through many classes and was able to take some practice tests which will help me understand what I will need to work on for when I take the final exam for my verification. The first week of classes mainly focused on anatomy and physiology and getting to understand the body. This involves learning terms used in the personal training field. Also understanding injuries and how to avoid them when working with clients. Next week is more about setting up a routine and getting the client to meet their goal and get better. Working with the personal trainers in Hampton was a really cool experience and I was able to learn a lot and see what it’s like to work directly with clients. I also saw how onboarding works when they get a new client and what they have to do to asses a client and create a program for their specific needs. The high point of the week was working with them and really getting to ask the questions I wouldn’t get answered if I never worked with them. Next week I will be shadowing them again and continuing my classes. I have prepared more questions to ask for the next time we meet and I look forward to learning more about personal training. I hope to work more with the clients next week and hope that the trainers will allow me to instruct a few exercises. I think the trainers are just gaining my trust and getting to understand the experience and knowledge that I have with weight training and personal training. This experience will help me for my summer job which will be personal training at the local YMCA. I really enjoy working with clients and sharing the knowledge that I have with others.

Today I worked with Luc who is a personal trainer for the Exeter Hospital, I shadowed him working with groups and single sessions. Today he had me do more example of stuff with the clients so I was showing exercises and setting up stations for future use. I brought up to Luc that I wanted to open gyms when I am older and he has a lot of experience. He has opened three business in his lifetime and two of them were gyms. His other was a cycle shop which he still owns, and he was a professional biker for ten years. He gave me some really good advice, like try to start your company younger rather than older. He also said that trial and error in business is the best way to learn. He also said something funny which was, never name your company with your name. His example was never call your business like Simons gym. The highpoint was learning all the new stuff about business and that error helps create stronger business owners. Hours 5

 Today was the last day of senior project and I am glad to say that I feel I got a lot accomplished and learned a lot. Today I worked on touching up blogs and making sure they look good to turn in. I also worked on my presentation and added photos and writing to where it needed to go. I wrapped up my action personal training work and made sure to look when I could go and take the official test to get certified.  Although I didn't officially get certified I will because I need to for my job this summer working at the YMCA. I look forward to getting back to campus a presenting the work and knowledge that I have gained over the past few weeks.  hours: 6
