Join host Amy Jo Macgowan and her entertaining guests as they explore your passion & your career as a Group Fitness and Exercise Instructor.
I received an e mail from Pru, a listener in the UK, asking me to do an interview about advice for new instructors or “newbies” as she said. What a great idea! And I had just the person to talk with. Katie Haggerty joins me and we cover all kinds of “I wish I would have known that when I started teaching” kinds of things, along with many hints, tips and suggestions as you start your teaching careers. Katie is the Group Fitness Department Head for two Life Time Fitness Clubs in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area so she helps a lot of new instructors get confident in teaching safe, effective and fun group fitness classes. Enjoy!

Great interview. I’ve been teaching a year and I agree with everything she said.
I think finding your own personality and getting to know your students is very important aspect. Along with practice and practice some more.
Thank you.
