This course is based on two complementary resources: Fitness Management, a comprehensive and essential text for any fitness professional, and Transitioning from Trainer to Manager, a DVD that provides an insightful overview of how to develop the skills and attributes necessary to become a manager or supervisor in the health club industry. Fitness Management goes step by step through what the title of Fitness Manager truly entails, from member retention and staffing issues to operational procedures and everything you need to know about facilities and equipment. The authors also take a look into the future of the health club industry and provide case studies for you to test your ability to apply what you’ve learned. The DVD is the perfect complement to this text. It reviews the 20 essential attributes and skills of a health/fitness professional, and walks the viewer through a career-development plan and the five stages of every manager’s journey to effective leadership.
