So you think you can sing?

You must have watched, or had exposure to programs like X-Factor and American Idol right? Time after time we sit there mesmerised by these crazy individuals who think they have the best voices on the planet...regardless of how much they suck!!! Can they hear what we hear? No, I actually don’t think they can! I think they genuinely believe they rock!

So where am I going with this? (Although I could sit here and talk X-Factor/ Idol all day)...As Instructors, can we “sing?”...Do we think we rock? Or can we not see what other people see? When was the last time you went to another instructors class (that you heard from members was great!) and they were riding high on knowing the members love them etc...The result? They sucked!

Why do you think class members think it’s great? Yet we disagree?...because we are the “Simon Cowell” in this situation!

Talking of practising and preaching...

Here's my friend Sarah doing exactly that!

Practise what you preach!

This picture applies to fitness instructors too! Don't be one of those swollen instructors that are emerging into gyms and health clubs these days!


 Like it or not we're in an industry where our bodies speak volumes about or capabilities.


 It also tells people that what we're teaching in our classes either does or doesn't work!


If you're an instructor and need help with nutrition contact me by commenting below. I can help you get to grips with fuelling for fitness and help you pass it on to the people in your class.

Thought I'd go write ahead and post something useful!

How to Sync a mic belt-pack quickly!

Most large gym chains tend to use the same suppliers. The AKG system is pretty common.

When your head mic dies (which happens quite often) and the duty manager is flapping -usually just before he /she gets verbally mugged of confidence by the sweaty "cast" of Body Combat or whatever awesome group fitness you are teaching at the time!

Commit this to your grey matter, apply it and all will be sorted -hopefully before the pale faced duty manager gets a flying elbow from your members. Remember this is for syncing a back up -if the 2 signal bars in the receiver screen are down it's likely the belt pack if it's the right hand side only then just change the head set itself.
