you have 3 assessments ahead of you but a co worker calls in sick you are left on your own on the gym floor how do you handle t

Hi Deidre,

if it is gym policy that one person has to cover the floor without having any other obligations such as training or assessments, when you should call the clients, explain the situation and tell them that their assessments need to be re-scheduled. It would be in the interest of safety to the exercisers on the floor.

the fact that you ask this question here suggests, though, that your gym does not have a policy for such an event, and you should suggest that it be established rather than leaving you wondering what to do.

Personally, unless the other instructor/co-worker was scheduled to teach a class, I would go ahead and perform the assessments.

Hello Deidre Walker,
I would play it by ear; things have a way of working out: someone may not show up or change their mind. I need to get my priorities done. It helps to know what those priorities are.
Take care,
