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!

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.
