Book Description
This comprehensive text brings conventional business management principles and operational guidelines to the unconventional business of health and fitness.
At a time when poorly managed health fitness facilities are failing at record rates, Health Fitness Management offers owners and managers, as well as students preparing to enter the industry, indepth and insightful information on running a health fitness facility smoothly, efficiently, and successfully.
Owners and managers can turn to the book for immediate solutions to problems at their health fitness facilities. They can use the book's evaluation checklist to see how their facilities and programs measure up to the theoretical benchmarks, and they can follow up on observed problem areas by referencing the appropriate section of the book. They can also use the book's ready-to-copy forms and worksheets, which include sample membership applications, maintenance request forms, child care waivers, and more.
Students will benefit from the book's chapter outlines, highlighted key terms, illustrations, and graphs, as well as its practical approach to presenting management theory.

Author Fitness Memberships & Money.......2004-08-23
As an active health club operator, I found this book to be very informative. It has incredible amount of information and covers about over 500 pages. I feel the book deals more on the day to day operation than most book on fitness cover. The aurthors have a proven track record in the industry.

Book Description
When most people enter a sport facility, they are usually unaware of the host of decisions that have been made before and during the event to ensure an enjoyable experience. Sport facility managers make these decisions, which range from ordinary maintenance issues to more critical issues such as how much staffing is necessary for various events.
Unique in its complete coverage of the profession, Managing Sport Facilities will help future and current sport facility managers make the proper decisions in all areas of facility management. The book contains a comprehensive, reader-friendly examination of the various responsibilities of facility managers, and it covers the essential knowledge and skills required for operating a sport facility: · Facility planning, site selection and design, and construction · Facility systems, operations, and maintenance · Facility administration, including marketing and sales, finance and budgeting, human resources, and legal issues · Event planning, security, and procedures
To help students learn the material and prepare them to apply it to real-world situations, Managing Sport Facilities includes "Behind the Scenes" sidebars that demonstrate how professionals have applied theory to practice to solve various facility management dilemmas. The text also features chapter objectives, summaries, discussion questions and activities, and a glossary as study aids to highlight the most important discussion topics to reinforce understanding. "Facility Focus" boxes throughout the text feature interesting facts, trivia, and statistics associated with well-known sport facilities. Numerous photos, figures, and tables capture readers' attention in a visually appealing manner as well.
Managing Sport Facilities is the ideal resource for students desiring to gain a working knowledge of all aspects of facility management. It will help sport facility managers make all the right decisions—from developing a facility and operating it to planning, promoting, and managing events in a facility.
Book Description
From corporate boxes to sprinklers, food outlets to toilets, first aid to media, facility and event managers are accountable for the success of sporting venues and events.

Book Description
In this handsome book, Anthea Callen deals with issues of sexuality, gender, and visual representation to illuminate the underlying meanings of Degas`s depictions of women in his series of bathers, dancers, and prostitutes. She argues that the gender politics of Degas` culture made it inevitable that he represent masculine desire-and anxieties about masculine identity evoked by such desire-through an apparently detached masculine scrutiny of the female body.
