Hey everyone!
With my internship coming to an end this week I just wanted to write one more blog to share my experience at Union Fitness over the past 4 months. I have had so much fun interning at Union Fitness! Everyone has been so welcoming, and I have enjoyed getting to know the staff and members here. I have never been a part of a gym facility where everyone knows each other and is like a family, and I’m so glad I got to experience that here!
I have learned so much while being here. Being in Exercise Science classes for 4 years has taught me a lot, but I feel as though I learned the most while being at my internship because I was able to utilize the knowledge I have gained through classes. Throughout the past four months, I have been able to gain knowledge in all types of exercise fields including personal training, coaching group classes, shadowing Physical Therapy, and getting a glimpse of what it’s like to operate a gym. I will forever be thankful for this experience and the staff who have helped me grow and gain knowledge along the way!
After leaving Union Fitness, I will be starting my new job as a Physical Therapy Aide for UPMC. I will be going back to school next year to gain my Doctorate in Physical Therapy (fingers crossed I get accepted to Nova Southeastern- Ft. Lauderdale!). Again, I had so much fun interning at Union, and it was great meeting you all this summer!!
