You will be able to listen, tune in, and prescribe exactly what they need while tailoring the appointment to the individual. While working one on one with members you will gain great insight and experience which are beneficial for those working on a degree in Physical or Occupational Therapy. “Our Wellness Advisors have one of the most important jobs of any YMCA staff. For that new member, they are the face of the YMCA, the first person they connect with, and the first person that supports them in reaching their health and fitness goals”, explains Wellness Director, Bobbi Finley. She goes on to say, “Wellness Advisors change lives. I’ve sat in rooms and listened to speeches given by members about how their Wellness Advisor kept them coming back to the Y when they felt like no one else supported them, and because of it, that member lost weight, lowered their blood pressure, and now feels better and healthier than they ever have.” Scheduling appointments for members is crucial WHY THE Y?
