Provo, UT; Y Be Fit - Jocelyn

For my internship I worked at Y Be Fit as a health coach.  Y Be Fit can be found on the BYU campus in the Richards Building just kitty corner from the information desk.
At Y Be Fit I had the opportunity to participate in a wide range of activities.  I got to meet with clients on a weekly basis to help them on the path to health and wellness, perform body composition tests, various fitness tests (including a treadmill test to estimate VO2 max), as well as interpret blood work results for each client.  I had the opportunity to discuss all of the test results with each client at the beginning of their journey with Y Be Fit and again at the end so they could see the progress they made.
I also had the opportunity to learn more about coaching psychology, incorporate different styles of learning into my daily work, and work with other brilliant interns who all brought different ideas and perspectives to the table that provided many insights and tools that helped everyone learn and grow as a health coach.
