The hours and pay were great. I had the best boss anyone could have, and I learned an astounding amount. The hours and pay made working at Woodcreek very enjoyable. My schedule was very flexible and could usually adjust it to fit my needs. If I needed to pick the kids up from school I could come in early so that I could leave early. I could also work out or play racquetball during working hours. They never would say anything to me as long as the club was operating smoothly. My lunch hour was also very flexible. For instance, if I had a lunch date at 11:00am on Wednesday I could take my lunch hour then. Or if I had a lunch date on Friday at 1:00pm I could take my lunch hour then. I also never had any problem getting a day off if I needed it. The pay was also outstanding. Based on a national survey of health clubs in the Free Weight Magazine I was making a salary that placed me in the top five percent of my job classification. The best part about my pay and hours was that I did not have to punch a time clock. Another plus about working at Woodcreek was the boss that I had. He treated me like I was an equal. He trusted that I knew what I was doing. If he asked me a question about something, the answer I gave was all he needed. Another example of the confidence he had in my abilities was that if he asked me to do something he would never ask about it again. He trusted me enough to know that it would get done. We communicated very well. I would keep him very informed of my status through phone conversations and punch list. We would always discuss things that needed to be done and set goal dates for those items together. The trust he showed allowed me very much freedom to grow in the knowledge of my job. It was just like not having a boss. What I learned was the best element about working at Woodcreek. I was able to learn how to market a health club in a specific geographic area. For example we approached the Trane Company with a contract that would allow their two thousand employees to use the club at a dramatically reduced rate per employee. However we knew that only a very small percentage of the employees would actually use the club. This kind of arrangement was beneficial to both because it allowed Trane to save a large amount of money and Woodcreek not to lose money on over usage. Woodcreek was also where I gained my first exposure to modern computers. As I read and learned more about computers, more computer related tasks were given to me. All of this learned knowledge ultimately accumulated into me installing the first computer network at the club. When I left Woodcreek the network had expanded to one server and fifteen workstations. I also became knowledgeable in other areas such as health law, national, state, and city regulations regarding the health and fitness industry, maintaining fitness equipment and accounting. When I look back at my experience at Woodcreek and think of the excellent hours and pay; The outstanding relationship I had with my boss, and the wealth of knowledge I gained; I feel I was very lucky to have had the opportunity to work there.
