✨️A MUST WATCH!✨️ Hear from a Michael Needham, a recent graduate, as he shares his experience in the Fitness, Recreation, and Wellness Program and offers advice and success tips for students just getting started.

He is currently an ACE Certified Personal Trainer, ACE Certified Group Fitness Instructor, and Level 1 Precision Nutrition Coach.

During his second semester in the program, he attended a special industry event where he connected with fitness professionals in our community. That networking opportunity eventually helped him land a position as a Group Fitness Instructor at Basecamp Fitness!

He continues to work hard, growing as a fitness professional, and building connections within the industry. He has also invited students currently enrolled in Group Fitness & Small Group Coaching to attend one of his classes as part of their Field Experience expectations.

Take a few minutes to hear his story, his advice, and what can happen when you take advantage of the opportunities available to you throughout this program!
