I have been curious about how long the average shift is? Are you dead tired at the end of it?

My shifts were usually 11-7......or at another club 2-8...it really does vary by the club.
As for being dead tired...I take a break during my shift to reload. I eat a light lunch and relax for about 20min at the most. Eat some fruit or whatever. I try to eat as healthy as I can because better food will give you better quality energy.

well i've worked at clubs where the shifts were from 12-7 and 7-2, my current club is 3-9 and 9-2 - I love working 5 hour shifts!

I work 11 hour shifts (yuck!), but it sounds like that is not the norm.




Most clubs I've worked were 6 to 8 hour shifts.
Noon to 7pm......3pm to 11pm.....7pm to 3am.......etc etc





My club has five three hour shifts through out the day. I usually work two back to back so it ends up being six hours.


my club only has a dayshift. we have to get there at 7:30..now they're pushing for 7:15 :-/ and it stays open until 2





In my club we're supposed to work a min. of 8 hrs per shift. Most do, but I usually just end up working 4-6 hrs. But, I have pulled off 10hr. shifts no problem. A few weeks ago I hit my record, I did a 12 hr. shift! A friend had my car, so I ended up stuck there longer than I should. I really don't mind, I've turned into such a workaholic. $ is quite addicting....

in nz, its seems to be 8pm-4am, from open till close.
onthe gold coast, it was 7-5am.open till close.





I usually do 9pm until 4-4.30am (or close if the same time) .... however the usual shifts at my home club is 8pm until 3am or 10pm until close. The only time it is longer is during Indy as all the clubs have extended hours until 7am (with a 5am instead of 3am "lock in")
The only times I do longer shifts is when working elsewhere (travelling) ... for instance, when I danced in Melbourne it wasn't unheard of a dancer doing 8pm until close (7am). I personally could only work until 5-6am after a 8-9pm start. Anything longer and I was exhausted.
My nutritional juice I drink helps me alot. At the same time, if you are doing a shift longer than 5 hours... take (at the very least) a 10 min break so you can have something to eat (SNACK not meal) and rest temporarily. If you do not, you will place undue stress (wear and tear) on your body and might burn out faster.
