Any fitness instructors here?



Recommended Posts

After 5 years banded, I want to become a certified fitness instructor but not sure what to study. I was thinking of teaching Spinning or Barre, since these are my 2 favorite classes.

Who is a fitness instructor and can guide me?

What is your favorite group class at the gym?

The health Club I go to...has pictures of all the "trainers" on a wall, along with their bio's....thay all have a BS degree in fitness, phys-ed, athletic training, etc.....

Many have coached HS Sports, or have some other experience....

Having said that...my friends wife instructs 2 group classes...not sure which, and she has no degree at all....but she does not do any one on one personal training...that may be the key....liability...

I am not a fitness instructor but I know that I took a class at my gym called willpower and Grace. It's the best class! It wiped into shape ;I believe it's due to that class that people refer to me as "tiny"

I will definitely look into that class. I've never heard of it, so I'm curious. So I'm thinking of becoming certified in Spinning or in Barre. So far, my 2 favorite classes.

Thank you

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
