LETTER 5-99: PERSONAL TRAINER—JOB LOSS

Mr. Angelo Adevon
Metro Health Club
4298 Eighth Avenue
Omaha, NE 09876
Re: 8/19/XX ad for a
Personal Trainer
Dear Mr. Adevon:
In our industry, turnover is high among training staff, and this often adversely
affects customers’ perceptions of a health club or fitness center. I can help your
organization avoid this problem.
I have been in my current position for nine years, and am only seeking alternate
employment because our owner has decided to retire and close the facility. Not
only do I have the experience to bring to your club, I also built a loyal base of
“one-on-ones,” many of whom are likely to follow me within reasonable
geographic limits.

I am well-versed in a complete range of equipment, such as Aerobic
(Stairmaster, treadmills, running machines, cross-country skiing, bicycles,
Lifecycle and VersaClimber), Free weights, Universal, Eagle, and Nautilus. I
have designed personal fitness programs for clients from ages 18 to 80, even
working successfully with individuals required by their doctors to lose 100
pounds or more. My skill, rapport, and results have led many of my existing
clients to introduce me to their friends, whom I have taken on as new clients.
If you’re looking to add long-lasting muscle to your training program, please
contact me at (555) 456-7890, and we can schedule a time to get together.

Sincerely,

Bill Zeman
