Group Fitness Exercise Professional

Seems like nowadays more and more gyms and Fitness centers are having more of pre-choreographed group workouts program. Singapore’s Fitness industry at the moment is very hot into pre-choreographed workouts exercises like the Les Mills body training systems.

Most of the gyms here are buying into Les Mills Body Pump, Les Mills Body Combat, Les Mills Body Step, Les Mills Body Balance, Les Mills Body Attack, Les Mills Body Jam, Les Mills RPM and the latest Les Mills Body Vive group workouts program classes.

Les Mills body training systems are really making very big in Asia.

I recently found out from the internet that there are more of other pre-choreographed group workouts program. There are TurboKick, (TurboJam) and even mind body program known as PiYo and dance program Hip Hop Hustle and etc.

From Body Training Systems (BTS) they have Group Power, Group Kick, Group Step, Group Centergy, Group Groove, Group Active and Group Ride.

Radical Fitness provides Fight Do, Power, Mega Danz, Ki Max, X55, Top Ride and U Bound. This is where Nathaniel and wife Gaby went to, they came out from Les Mills Body Combat and come out with their own workouts program Fight Do.

 There is also group classes for the seniors known as the Silver Sneakers. SilverSneakers group focus on exercise classes that are appropriate for older adults who are fit and active as well as those who are sedentary, intimidated, unfamiliar with exercise, entering post-rehabilitation programs and ALL those who enjoy a positive, upbeat social environment.

Wow there are so many of these pre-choreographed workouts exercises out there, as I’m from Singapore, I thought Les Mills body training systems was the only one.

These types of classes are all pre-choreographed which means they are all ready design, outlined and set to music, with each beat planned and written. So If you are interested to be an Instructor of the program, the companies will actually train you on how to teach the programs and you only need to follow it.

Once you have been through the course, you can purchased the releases at regular intervals. The releases will contain the exact materials you will use in class until the next new release arrive. You can mix tracks and are expected to teach the class exactly the way it is choreograph.

Let’s take alook at a few of these workouts program here and you tell me what you think about them.

    Woah, Les Mills hands down…..no competition. Looks like people are trying to copy what they have already done. I say go with the leaders, don’t be a poser. For real, it is either a part of you, the part you will not change, or it is a phase, and we all know that a phase means it will change. Thanks for the information….And i am glad we all have choices, I will just stick with the original people, who have the passion and the desire to truly change the world

    Body Training Systems all the way baby!!! Les Mills is waaaay to flashy and full of fluff for me. BTS is how real instructors teach to real participants IMO. I was certified in BodyCombat then moved to GroupKick and absolutely love KICK. I believe the workout to be much more of a challenge and still keeps the integrity of the fight alive! Combat to me was all about how good the instructor looks, but who really cares about the participants. Again, all programs are good, I just believe BTS to be the BEST!

    Les Mills is the best. I’ve tried BTS and frankly the participants and instructors just look too messy and are doing really unsafe moves. It’s all over the place and beginners have a hard time following. With LMI anyone can pick up any programme and get comfortable with it in a just a few classes. BTS looks too much like freestyle – lookin like they spaze out. And besides, where else can you find Gandalf… the best dance program around and don’t get me started on step. Lookin fine and working hard!
