Dear Mr Vassily

Re: Group Fitness Programmer, Ref 457HGR

Please accept my application for the advertised position of Group Fitness Programmer at Golden Leisure Centres. I believe that my qualifications, extensive background in and passion for all things exercise, fitness and training make me an ideal candidate for this role.

I am keen to join the team at Golden Leisure Centres, a company that has an excellent reputation in all fields of corporate health management, and renowned for providing excellent opportunities to young trainers.

By way of qualifications, I have a Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science from James Cook University, several First Aid certificates, have completed sport/remedial massage courses and have done management training.

My areas of expertise are fitness assessments and muscle testing, and one-on-one and group training sessions. I am experienced in remedial, Swedish and sports massage and am familiar with all facets of OH&S.

As Health and Lifestyle Instructor at Gearsons, I honed my group fitness skills and initiated a number of educational seminars and health awareness programs, as well as organised company fitness competitions. Working as a Personal Trainer at Meredith Hotel prior to that, I lead one-on-one fitness training with a broad range of clientele as well as assisted with marketing the hotel’s fitness services.

I have also worked with athletes, training and fitness testing the Sunshine Football Team.

My work experience has allowed me to gain experience with a broad spectrum of physical needs and different roles within the fitness environment. My experience has also given me excellent time management and organisational skills. I am outgoing, organised and compassionate, and I am able to motivate people with my energy and enthusiasm. I enjoy the companionship of my clients and colleagues and am confident in my ability to become an outstanding member of your team.

Please find my resume and references enclosed.

Kind Regards
