Are there activities for teenagers as well as children? Yes, there are activities targeted for teenagers What type of motivation is there for clients to reach there goals? Outside of this facility, during the consultations members are connected with other resources such as, nutritionist for assistance. How does Jay’s Jungle Gym support its clients goals? Jay’s Jungle Gym targets younger audiences to show them that fitness is not strictly one sort of excercise, but fitness can be incorporated in anything that you do. How does Jay’s Jungle Gym keep in touch with its clients outside of its services? The gym focuses on healthy living, and the individual. So with the numbers that the client provides, we make monthly calls to check on their progress. Is there a satisfaction guarantee if the customer is not happy with the services? No, there is no satisfaction guarantee. What is the typically satisfaction rate of your customers? I cannot give you a percentage, but the majority of our customers are satisfied.

Based on these responses do you feel this facility/workout environment would help you reach your goals? Explain your point of view by writing a 1 page reflection on the benefits and negatives of joining this facility. Be sure to submit your personal interview questions, the responses to the interview questions and a summary of the person you interviewed, as well as,

your one page reflection paper.

In my opinion, this facility/workout environment would not help me reach my fitness goals. To me, this facility is targeted more so for children rather than young adults. This facility targets corporate play more so than individual exercise. Although, Jay’s Jungle Gym does suggest outdoor resources, me personally, I require a facility to have exactly what I need. Also, the facility did not have much of the equipment I would like. There were not many options are to chose from. The benefits of joining this facility would be education. Jay’s Jungle Gym teaches young children that exercise can be fun and not tedious. It shows children that they can be healthy by doing things they enjoy doing like, playing outside with their friends. It also teaches parents how to keep their children physically engaged and stimulated. Another benefit would be the friendly environment. The staff were very friendly, and customer oriented. Also, everyone seemed to be having a good time. A negative of joining this facility would be the lack of options. Again, there are a lot of limitations as to what type of equipment you can use. Also, you would have to bring your own towel every time you chose to go to this gym. On top of this, you would have to change before you go to the gym, due to the fact that there are no locker rooms. I found Jay Wilson to be very easy-going. From this interview, I could tell that he is very passionate about the children, and what he does. I could also tell that he is proud of his work. He made my interview very easy, and I enjoyed my time with him....
