Michael Cunico / Regional Fitness Manager / NSW

What does your role involve?
There is no such thing as a typical day. Managing Group Fitness NSW. Managing the Managers, conducting training for new PT’s, liasing with other Regional Managers, State and National Fitness Managers, implementing monthly focus and goals.

What do you love about what you do?
One day is never the same as the next, love that at the end of the day we are helping people achieve goals and looking at the bigger picture, and we get to help such a large audience through Fitness First.

What’s the worst thing about your work?
Always being pulled in different directions all the time, a lot of different people involved which sometimes makes it hard to stay focused.

What do you do outside of work?
I like to exercise as well as spend time with friends and family.

What has been the highlight of your time at Fitness First?
Not one moment that stands out. I guess I would have to say that building the relationships and meeting people that have the same outlook and interests as me, health, fitness, very positive people.

What’s your advice for someone considering a career in the fitness industry?
The key thing is to do it for the right reason, so many people just do it to chase money, they hear from a mate that it pays well, and you have to be passionate about it.
