Year 10 student Taylor from Bro Dur School learning how to work in a gym with a work placement at Unit 9

A keen amateur boxer, Taylor knows about fitness training. When the work placement at Unit 9 Gym came up he had no doubt that this was a great opportunity to learn how to work in a gym as a possible career choice when he leaves school.

Taylor carried out a variety of duties including assisting in an exercise class, weights instruction and cleaning equipment.

Taylor said, “It’s been brilliant, the team here have been so friendly and I have learnt skills that could help me become a personal trainer”.

Taylor’s work placement was organised by NPT Employability, a service provided by Neath Port Talbot Council.
