1)   It is important to “package” yourself effectively, you are not just selling the Fitness Workouts Program, and you are representing yourself as well.

2)   Keep in mind the first thing people see is your appearance, the way you look speaks volumes to others and without saying a word, people draw a conclusion about who you are.

3)   How you dress, wear make-up and everything about your appearance should radiate health.

4)   If you walk around looking disheveled or slovenly, your fitness students will not seek to emulate you and may even avoid your classes.

5)   Always dress in an appropriate manner, never wear revealing or sexually provocative clothing.

6)   Make sure your students have strict personal hygiene and know the importance of dressing appropriately.

7)   Never use vulgar language, off-color words, slang or profanity; it can be offensive to others.

8)   Tone of voice is extremely important, never be harsh or condescending to students.

9)   Always demonstrate patience and understanding, never be insulting to students.

10)   Observe proper positioning when explaining a pose or movement to the class, they do what they see you doing.

11)   Demonstrate the pose or movement and offer a modification for those students who are unable to do a certain exercise comfortably.

12)   Each student is an individual and personal fitness level, never try to force a student to do something they are unable to do, it could result in injury.

13)   When you finish demonstrating an exercise, stand back and observe the class, if you see someone struggling or having a hard time doing a exercise, go back and do the demonstration again.

14)   For students who continue to struggle, offer props to aid in the more advanced poses in Yoga classes.

15)   Use of props is a good way to help beginner students and may prevent needless straining which can result in injury.

16)   Be observant of your students is a good way to avoid accidents, you should know what your students are doing and if they need help, offer a workable solution.
