Subject: Application for the fitness coach position
Dear Mr Rapin,
Your gym is looking for a coach for group classes and one-to-one training. I have trained members of all levels for four years and want to join a gym that puts coaching first.
With a federal certificate as a fitness specialist and Qualitop recognition, I work at Forme Plus Lausanne. I teach eight classes a week (cross training, mobility, strength for seniors) and coach 25 private clients. My morning classes have been full for a year, and I sold 60 coaching packages last year.
Your health prevention programme with local companies is a project I would like to contribute to.
I am available from 1 February, early mornings or evenings, and would gladly teach a trial class.
Kind regards,
Kevin Lambiel
