Fitness Service Specialist
Two of the biggest challenge that all fitness clubs are facing is retaining members and recruiting new ones. As a club owner or manager, one of the most important tools you can provide your staff to overcome these hurdles is customer service training. According to leading experts, exceptional customer service is arguably the most significant edge that an organization can have in the highly-competitive health and fitness industry.
In addition to having a passion for fitness and an understanding of the industry, each person on your team should always deliver the highest level of customer service and assist members with basic health- and fitness-related questions with confidence, ease and courtesy.
The American Council on Exercise® (ACE®) has designed a unique online course to help you consistently deliver first-class customer service – or what we like to refer to as fitness service – training to all of your staff members.
