During my internship here I developed a fitness assessment guidebook and learned how to assess someones fitness level. With this knowledge I now know how to efficiently build off someones fitness level as well as interact with others in a more professional environment. I also helped play a role in the biggest loser competition in which I helped calculate each contestants points they earned each week. My end goal for my internship was to gain more knowledge on personal training and get a feel of the fitness industry. That being said, with the experience I obtained, I definitely achieved my goal.
