Excellent

In general I have a passion for detail. I am professional in all aspects. I am an excellent listener and consider myself quite easy to adapt. I always ask when I don't understand. I am always looking forward to new experiences. I am strong alone and can work very efficiently by myself. In groups I can come across as quite at first. I work good with people and feel like you should never loose any opportunity to learn new things.

Pros: great
Cons: long hours

Experience gained

Working at virgin active has not only taught me professionalism but has also helped build my character with this this being said I had to adjust to working with 100 to 500 clients per day, working early and late hour shifts, learnt more on health and safety in the workplace, customer service and more importantly administration.

Pros: Great opportunity for growth
Cons: Late nights and early mornings shifts

Personal Trainer and Mac Farmer

I am a personal trainer in the mornings at Virgin Active but then return to the farm where I live and farm 4ha of my own macadamia trees planted 4 years ago.

Pros: I have learned to be prompt, to deal with all kinds of people, to manage admin such as invoices and financial planning.
Cons: There is no room for growth at Virgin Active and I want to work on a larger Macadamia Farm as I love farm management and farming these trees specifically.

I learnt professionalism above all.

I honestly love working with people, helping people and meeting new people everyday. I have learnt a lot from different people, I have learnt professionalism, I have learnt how to handle a difficult person, I have learnt First aid and I have learnt to control my emotions. I enjoy helping people reach their goals, seeing them free and happy. The most challenging aspect of the job is packing weights and having a lot of workload on my own. First thing I do do when I get to work is to check if the work environment is clean, if the customer is happy with it then I'm happy too, make some calls to try getting some potential Personal training booster packs, get back to the floor once I finish with my calls. Take lunch, come back from lunch and give some Aerobics classes. That's my favourite part, being active, teach and seeing people being satisfied with the service you have given them.

Pros: You get to meet new people everyday.
Cons: Packing heavy weights back to their racks.
