Episode #6 Teaching in Paradise!

Meet Suzelle Snowden, President and founder of FitBodies, Inc.  Hear from Suzelle how you can travel to exotic locations and stay at fabulous all-inclusive (yes, this includes adult beverages) resorts as a traveling fitness professional.  I’ve had the opportunity to travel with FitBodies over 25 times in the last 12 years and it has been great for my marriage and family.

If you are interested in how I make it work for me, let me know by posting a comment below.  If there is enough interest, perhaps I will do a separate show on the ins and outs of traveling on a budget as a fitness pro.  Enjoy!

Episode #4 – Group Exercise with the TRX Suspension Trainer

Fraser Quelch from Fitness Anywhere joins me to discuss incorporating the new TRX Suspension Trainer into your group exercise classes.  In preparation for this interview, I attended a day long training where we were told it was going to hurt to pick up a pencil the next day, so I may have intentionally backed off a bit, as I had a training ride planned for the next morning and a heavy teaching schedule the following week.  Two good friends & instructor colleagues were there with me.  We thought it was one of the best training courses we have taken and we definitely felt the TRX work.  Listen as Fraser and I discuss what I think is one of the most innovative, creative and versatile fitness tools in the industry.

Episode #3 – Group Fitness Down Under with Ryan Hogan

Have you ever want to run away? Take your Group Fitness Certification and move as far away as you can? I would truly love to and my guest for episode #3 did just that!

Meet Ryan Hogan with the Australian Fitness Network, a member-based fitness organization similar to IDEA /Can-Fit-Pro. Ryan describes how he left North America and started a career in group fitness in Australia. It’s not quite as simple as it seems. Australia has a very comprehensive certification process and Ryan does a great job of explaining how it all works in this interview.
