In what job, by making others feel
good about themselves, can you
make yourself feel good as well? A
physical trainer has this benefit in
their job.
I live in Blyth. I’m a Grade 12
student in my final year at F.E.
Madill Secondary School. I am
currently enrolled in the co
operative education program.
I have had the privilege of being at
the North Huron Wescast
Community Complex fitness centre
as my placement.
There are two main components to
the job: training the clients to better
themselves physically, and
preventative maintenance. I cannot
work with clients on my own, but I
do follow and observe my co
workers while they are working and
I am learning to properly train
people by doing so.
My co-workers are extremely
friendly and helpful to me in many
ways. They have been very open and
insightful in showing me how to
properly workout; this in turn will
help me with clients in the future.
The second part of the job is the
daily preventative maintenance. This
includes cleaning mirrors and
machines to vacuuming and
mopping floors. The cleaning is not
only meant for preventive measures
for it also makes for a cleaner,
healthier environment of every user.
I took this course and chose the
fitness centre to learn what being a
fitness trainer is all about as I am
thinking of becoming a trainer and
wanted practical experience. I am
also learning many useful skills, like
communication and customer
service, which will help me in any
job in the future.
I think the co-op program is a
great course that is offered in our
school and would recommend it to
anyone.

I am a co-op student at F.E. Madill
Secondary School. I am doing my
co-op placement at Dan’s Auto
Repair.
Dan Snell is self-employed and
has no other full-time employees. I
am learning a lot about the
mechanics trade from him. it is
really helpful to know a little bit
about mechanics so you can fix

some of the vehicle problems
yourself.
I highly recommend taking the co
op course that the high school offers.
It is a good way to decide if you
want to enter that field of work after
you are done your schooling.
