A Very Short Summary of “Group Exercise Professionals”:

Group Exercise Professionals is a blog started by Melvyn Goh after so many new instructors and members have been asking for advice on the life in the Fitness Industry. The Fitness industry has been growing so quickly from two mega gyms to now more than 20 centers in just a few years in Singapore. These also includes big Yoga centers sprouting like mushrooms.

We want to share with you common issues among Group exercise instructors and Personal trainers  so that your fitness career is going to be very successful  and happiest one!

My Group Exercise professionals blog highlights:

1. How to get into the Fitness industry
2. Tips on how to be a successful Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor
3. The problems face by Personal Trainer and Group Exercise Instructor
4. Building a great career in Fitness

So in short, this blog is to help make your Fitness career take off and you may never want to get back to your 9-5 desk bound job. 

Our Mission is to reach out to as many Fitness Professionals as possible, possibly a 1,000,000 to help them make a great living in the Fitness Industry.

(Sad to say, some new Fitness Professionals don’t really succeed. Most gave up after they get their certifications especially those in the group exercise area.)

And that is what my blog aims to do…to encourage and help push your fitness career to the most successful level.
