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.

Whoa…that was quite a hand full! What do think, which workouts program you think is good? Think about it, drop me a mail at melvyn@bodyfitnessexercise.com. Tell me your views and comments, I might just bring the program to you…

Just a few days ago I heard fron my colleague that the club is going to cut about 10 workouts exercises classes from each club and at the same time we also got an email from the coordinator that the management is looking into the class numbers and is going to take out classes that has poor attendance. Reasons due to the econormic downturn.

Then on the eve of New Year’s Day, the management decided to cut we exercise fitness trainer rates. It’s very depressing to recieve that before the New Year. Looks like even the the fitness giants will have to face the wrath of the world financial crisis. This is something that we exercise fitness trainer would not like to hear.

I think its about time we come out of our comfort zone and start thinking of how to save the situation. For us body fitness exercise instructor, classes are money, losing classes means taking a pay cut. Well during these time, everybody are prepared to take a pay cut but whether if its a small or big one depends on us.

Unless the company is suffering badly and has to cut even the good classes, otherwise there is always ways to help ourselves. Its Time to make things happen and not wait for things to happen.

Let’s face the reality, the numbers are what make or break you. How to boost the numbers for your workouts exercises class? Most people love new or fresh stuff, how about we go on to the Internet and check out new workouts program that we can introduce to our clubs.

Do some research and check out the popular workouts program. There are a lot of home study workouts routines programs that can easily pick up and start teaching in our clubs.

Ask around if you have some expats or people who travel alot in your classes about the body fitness exercise classes they do in other countries. They may tell you what’s popular in that country that is not found here in Singapore or Asia.

Time to upgrade! Take some new workouts program courses and attend seminars. Get to know what’s new in the market or simply improve on our teaching.

Be a student, attend other teacher’s classes especially the popular ones, learn how the teacher communicate with the members and how he focus on his teachings. Observe how he/she creates the atmoshpere, fun, full of energy, do you feel a sense of accomplishment after the class. Notice his/her workouts routines if you can learn something new and incorporate into your own teachings.

The bottom line is trying to improve yourself and keep coming out with new workouts program whether it is for muscle building routines or fast weight loss exercise. If you can command good numbers for your body fitness exercise classes, you are pretty much indispensable.
