3. Site Ranking TWC got a ranking of three stars from me for a few reasons. It was great to get my hands on all the business aspects of the company and I really appreciated that involvement. In addition to that, I was able to be involved with and lead in lots of personal training, fitness camps and classes that were being held. Although with all that said there was a certain level of tedium that was also associated with TWC outside all of the business and fitness aspects. I thought my time could have been better used than cleaning for the majority of many days.

9. Project Description My project assignment was to not only transfer the company as a whole to their new location, but also provide a smooth transition for client databases for trainers. In addition I also setup a new computer system to be used by TWC for all client training sessions. The easy part was moving everything from the Dome to TWC’s new studio. The hard part proved to be uploading every client past and future into the database, and send them all individual emails about the move and all the new opportunities they had. The transferal from the current system (PT Manager) to our new system (Mind Body) proved to be equally challenging as well. It took me weeks to learn and set up the online system, and once I was comfortable I taught all the trainers how to begin using it and becoming less dependent on our old system.
