HPW Student Internship Experience – Riley Charette Spring 17′
Interning at Kinema Fitness so far has been an extremely beneficial and exciting experience. I have worked mainly at the Schaumburg location, however, on certain days I have been going to different sites. It allows me to see different sides of different corporate facilities and exposes me ways each manager does something differently. The staff at Kinema Fitness is more than willing to help me learn about corporate wellness. At Kinema Fitness, I ran their first challenge of the year, “Lose to Win.” This project encouragesd Zurich employees to lose a healthy amount of weight, however, we also praised positive changes in body composition. I was coming up with workouts of the week, recipes of the week, giving members various tips about different health topics, and putting together the weekly newsletter. Aside from the Lose to Win challenge, I have been part of putting together the annual health fair Kinema does. I also have been coordinating a 5k and putting together programs for that. On top of all of that, I have been shadowing personal training sessions along with group fitness classes and signing up new members for the fitness center. Lastly, I have been in charge of creating and sending out all of the newsletters to all members.
