Session names and descriptions
You've got the moves, you've got the energy, and you're ready to take your group fitness classes from good to GREAT.
But what if you could take things up a notch? What if there were just some small tweaks that could make a big impact in your class?
In this workshop, Steve will show you how to do just that! You'll learn ways to make your students feel successful, heard and connected with you. And when they leave your class feeling successful, heard and connected with YOU—well, that's when they start coming back for more.
And once you get those students coming back for more… well then it's only a matter of time before they start spreading the word about how great their experience was with you!
You've probably heard of layering before. But do you know how to implement it in your classes? In this session, we will discuss the principles of layering, how to best use it in your classes, and why it is so effective for teaching any form of choreography or new movement pattern.
From 3 base moves, discover how to build a complete sequence of movements that make sense and is easy for your participants to learn. You'll leave this session with a clear understanding of how layering works and practical tips on how to use it in your classes.
Training without recovery = no gains, fatigue, and potential sickness and injury. Dave will be taking
you through key regeneration techniques he uses with professional athletes to keep them at the top
of their game. He will focus on the aspects of sleep optimisation and simple body work techniques
that you can habitually use to keep your body adapting and turning up ready to move. Bring your
tired aching body along to this session and learn how to tune yourself up and regenerate.
Imagine a class where you get to inflate balloons.
Now imagine a class where you get to use balloons as resistance! It's true: join Erin for a session that incorporates these humble objects into your next muscle conditioning class, building from simple stabilising exercises into challenging progressions you can easily implement into your classes straight away.
Bring a spare balloon; once you pop…you'll need a new one.
As a group fitness instructor, you help your participants get in shape, and improve their lives.
But what if you could go beyond just being an instructor? What if you could influence them and support them in all aspects of their life? What if you could provide a holistic wellness experience for your participants?
As instructors, we can provide a bigger picture and the strategies I'll share with you in this presentation will help you learn how to optimise the way your participants feel about themselves and their bodies.
Learn how to become a whole instructor—one who not only provides physical challenges but also encourages emotional growth through mindfulness practices and self-care rituals. Discover the tools to help you and your participants build healthy habits that go beyond the walls of a gym.
