I know i've succeeded each class when clients take the time to personally come and say thank you for a great workout, job appreciation =job satisfaction
What do you like about working at Surge?
I enjoy working at Surge and teaching S Connect because I fee lfully supported by Surge management and encouraged to be the best version ofme. My work colleagues whether at reception, other GFI's, personal trainers or back office staff are all very friendly and i feel like thereis a culture of a family inside the workplace which I like.
What makes you proud to do what you do?
I personally enjoy participating in group fitness functionalexercises and I really like the community feel that has been developed alongwith the introduction of technology wearables to create that trackable andcompetitive edge to each class. With a great mix of member demographicsat Surge it helps me to stay relevant, and focussed on delivering withexcellence while providing a diverse and enjoyable mix of exercises, as I sayto my clients "if it's a movement you don't normally do, Thatis where I will take you" . The structure of S connect gives mefreedom to tailor classes inside the boundaries of a research based exerciseroutine, which is a freedom I enjoy.
What do you do outside of the gym?
I am currently studying to expand my fitnessqualifications, this takes up a fair amount of my time, outside of this i liketo take on projects for example i recently renovated an apartment and I alsocompleted a refurbishment of an old vehicle, on a fitness point of view I amcurrently training for a triathlon, but mostly i like to get out in thewilderness and run or hike long challenges, I am always on the move looking forareas that keep me active. .
