Since I tend to be cynical about most of the goings on in the health club industry, I thought that I would post a blog that lists things that I love about working in a health club. I guess part of my reason for doing this is to remind myself why I got into this industry in the first place. I'm bordering on 10 years of working in this industry; to think that I started off as a Front Desk Receptionist (that was the original title). If you feel up to it, feel free to email me your reasons for working in the health club industry. Here are mine:

1. Free Gym Membership!!!!!!!! Come on! We all love that.
2. The joy of teaching people that something as mundane as stepping up and down on a box can be both
healthy and fun.
3. Being able to help people forget about their worries outside of the gym; at least for an hour.
4. Not having to work the dreaded 9-to-5 shtick at some desk in some cubicle.
5. Not having to wear a tie.
6. Being able to put on the tightest outfit (shorty shorts) for work.
7. All the eye-candy available.
8. Meeting the Love-of-my-life in Step Class.
9. Meeting some amazing people who have gone on to become good friends and in some cases best friends.
10. Helping people learn how to improve their health and conditioning in a safe and effective manner.

I know the last one sounds schmaltzy, but hey... it's true. Later.  ¶ 8:51 AM
