A Day in the Life of the role...
The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and you've got a coffee in hand from one of the coffee shops on Magdalen Road.
This is how you start your shift.
On the agenda today, you've got a young person in on work experience who is here to shadow your day.
? Some of the team are out on the bench, chatting away, as you walk in.
Your first task, after puttingyour stuff down, is to ensure that the water jugs are filled ahead of the afternoon.
However, the young person was one step ahead of you.
Now you're slightly ahead and prep for your classes: a couple of strength sessions, with a hybrid in there (just to spice things up a bit), a 1:1, and a tour… It's an exciting day ahead.
? When a young person is in for work experience, it is an opportunity for them to learn how the business works.
From grunt work to sessions to social media posts.
Luckily for them, it's a full day.
First up is the 1:1, these are for teaching new members the strength sessions- Day A or Day B.
For the first 1:1 this may be their first introduction to the gym, so it's always best to ask if they've seen the space.
Before beginning you conduct any health and safety checks, i.e.
making sure the appropriate forms have been completed.
These are generally chilled sessions, more about teaching the movement patterns and getting used to the rep range, rather than delivering the most intense session possible.? It is towards the end of the work week for the young person, and hopefully they've learned the warm up.
Because it is now time for them to lead it, you take part and offer them guidance if needed.
As the coach in the strength session, it's important that you interact with everyone; offering praise or providing alterations in technique (if needed).
There's a hinge movement in this cycle, so it's best to stay alert- hips back first, soft knees, etc.
But everyone has smashed it in the session, so we finish off with a team session!
? Time to take lunch, zone out and chill in the team area.
Alright, back to it; another strength session, followed by a hybrid.
In the hybrid there aren't any burpees on the board today so everyone's energy level has increased by at least 20% since walking in.
Hybrid consists of strength exercises with a lot of volume.
So everyone gets "warm" very quickly.
The gruelling session is usually followed with a stretch- to help both the mind and body cool down.
There's some time before the tour, so you ask the young person to give the gym a quick hoover.
? The tour is a way to show a potential new member the space if they are thinking of joining.
It also provides them an opportunity to ask questions in-person rather than through email.
Many of the coaches have developed their own script; it helps with the flow when moving through the gym.
One more session for the day, and then after that it's time to lock up.
Everyone else has finished their shift and the young person has gone home.
So it's just you in the building- you blast some music as you close and lock up and get the gym ready for the coach on shift in the morning.
