Any fitness instructors here?



Recommended Posts

After 5 years banded, I want to become a certified fitness instructor but not sure what to study. I was thinking of teaching Spinning or Barre, since these are my 2 favorite classes.

Who is a fitness instructor and can guide me?

What is your favorite group class at the gym?

The health Club I go to...has pictures of all the "trainers" on a wall, along with their bio's....thay all have a BS degree in fitness, phys-ed, athletic training, etc.....

Many have coached HS Sports, or have some other experience....

Having said that...my friends wife instructs 2 group classes...not sure which, and she has no degree at all....but she does not do any one on one personal training...that may be the key....liability...

I am not a fitness instructor but I know that I took a class at my gym called willpower and Grace. It's the best class! It wiped into shape ;I believe it's due to that class that people refer to me as "tiny"

I will definitely look into that class. I've never heard of it, so I'm curious. So I'm thinking of becoming certified in Spinning or in Barre. So far, my 2 favorite classes.

Thank you

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
