Fitness instructors? (Aspiring and current)

Pucks_and_Balls

I got my Zumba teaching license in June of last year because I was enjoying classes and wanted to help others feel confident as they lost weight, experiencing all the success I've felt on my own journey. However, I've had a hard time getting started...part from fear, part from lack of teaching jobs in my area, and I want to change that. I would like to turn this into a side business by teaching other formats, and of course, I want to keep getting healthier to be a good example for any future students.

Anyone else here teach or want to? You don't have to be a Zumba teacher to add me, though it helps! I'll talk to anyone, whether it's Zumba, Les Mills, yoga or anything else. Hope we can help each other in our careers!

I'm in the process of becoming a Zumba instructor. Today I took the Zumba Gold certification, which was aweson. I'm mostly mired down in studying for my ACE group fitness instructor certification. I want to take the test in September. It's a lot of work, you have to memorize the anatomical terminology because they talk about it through the rest of the Exercise Manual. I haven't even started the Instructor's Manual yet. I get an email from ACE once a week and they have a q&a session on Tues, Wed, and Thur. I'm starting a mentorship with Zumba mid june. I have to work up a couple of class routines. I'm aiming to start looking for jobs the beginning of 2015.

Meanwhile, I'm working on losing another five pound to reduce my body fat to fit rather than average.

Having a busy time, but I log onto MFP every day.

Hope your diary is open.

I am doing my CertIV in fitness / personal training, and would especially like to get into teaching LesMills . I have one month left to finish my course and also have Uni final exams, so its a busy period of time for me! I just started doing stronglifts 5x5s and running. Happy to be friends
