Club Management: Facility Set Up and Design Workshop

In this course, you will learn about the various space requirements of a well-functioning facility. In addition to your workout area, you will need office and storage space, locker rooms, perhaps a laundry room, and a space for child care. You will also need to select exercise equipment, and this course describes the various options available. Once you have determined the space and equipment requirements of your facility, you will be ready to begin the construction process. This course gives you the vital information you will need to build a facility from the ground up, or to renovate an existing space. The optional text for this class is Fitness Management, 3rd Ed. Chapters 17 and 18 from this text will be used in this class. To successfully complete this class and earn your 2 CECs, you must review all of the material, complete all of the assignments, and score 100% on the quiz.
