Set the foundation for leading safe and effective classes by having a basic understanding of exercise science and leading group fitness to the general population. Lessons include understanding who your audience is, systems of the body and muscles and movement.

We don't just want you to memorize exercise, when you set a good foundation and have a thorough understanding of what you are trying to accomplish, class planning becomes much easier and you will be able to teach more effectively!

Learn a variety of exercises you can use in your classes. Ballet exercises, fitness movement as well as pilates and yoga exercises are covered so you have a variety of movement in your vocabulary to teach effective classes.

Now that you have learned the foundation exercises you can use in your classes, its time to connect movement together so you have fluidity in your class.

We will cover how to connect exercises so you can create seamless transition for a dynamic and fluid class.

Challenge your class with a variety of props to either increase the intensity of the workout or provide modifications as well. Bands, balls, free weights gliders and so much more. Use of props will not only change your workouts but also give you the ability to update your class plans with very little work.

In this module we are going to create our class plan. You have the option of simply memorizing one of our class plans and teaching exactly our format. But we want to teach you how to format your own classes and use the resources in our library.

A variety of templates can be found in our resources.

Music is the driving force of your class. Understand basic music components and learn how you can map your music to be able to better memorize choreography as well as create seamless sequences for your classes. We'll cover song structure in addition to providing you with an interactive exercise with our Cue Clinic lesson.

You now have your class plan and its time to TEACH!  Teaching can be challenging but in this lesson we are going to guide you on how to communicate effectively with your classes. We cover timing of cues, positive vocabulary and coaching to get the most out of your clients.
