The instructor plays a daily part in the life of the club: building relationships with members so they stay, running fitness initiatives that support member retention, meeting operational and administrative requirements, looking after members’ health and safety at all times, keeping up ongoing training and self-development to stay current with industry changes, and actively promoting the ancillary products and services available to members.
