Always a Group Fitness Instructor

by Ms. O
This week officially marks the beginning of me teaching group fitness classes again after about 10 years off. I've missed teaching, motivating and helping a group of people attain their fitness goals and I'm happy to be back in the saddle.  

I auditioned at LA Fitness to teach step aerobics and group resistance training classes. I was nervous but as soon as I heard the audition music, it went away. I waited patiently to find out if I got hired. I was confident and it was a matter of time before I got the green light. 

Before I got on the schedule as a regular instructor, I subbed a few classes at the club and the reception from the participants was welcoming. Several weeks after the audition, the aerobics director called and offered me the opportunity to take over some of her classes because she was relocating to another state. I was thrilled to be on the weekly schedule.

I'm gradually building my archive of exercises for the group resistance training classes because I want to offer a variety of challenging exercises to the students. I'm enjoying planning exercises for the entire body and for a group of people at various fitness levels. 

Until I get full time work, teaching will be a fun hobby for me and I'm glad I went back to it. Once a group fitness instructor, always a group fitness instructor. Here's to your health!
