Im sure you guys get sick of seeing my gym posts. But the truth is, I LOVE my classes. There is as much fun as there is work in my workouts. And the people who come to my classes - well, you guys are just the best. Friendliest, hardest-working, salt-of-the-earth. Id tag 500 people here if I could. And I wish for everyone out there to find a healthy activity that you enjoy as much as I enjoy teaching fitness classes. That said, I must shout out to some very hard working instructors. This is launch week, and when done correctly, launch week requires a very large commitment from the instructors involved to prepare to deliver a WOW fitness experience. Ive been working very hard with the Jam team - Elizabeth Ouellette Ventura is our ring leader, keeping us on schedule, on task, and sorting the details to get us to launch day. Shes been doing the dirty work and then smashing her own tracks, too. Every quarter for years now. Liz Toland is our rock - always prepared, always positive and always dancing from her soul. And Stephanie M. Zayas is our fire power. Girl can move, never gives less than 110%, and makes every move 1000 times hotter than it has any right to be. Newbies Alyssa and Stephanie Elise have impressed me with their quick learning of chorie, their willingness to take feedback, and their work ethics. And Im not in their rehearsals, but I see Beth Rabbin Ellyn Marcus Colleen Barry Heather Winn Fannon and Christine Downey Bryan practicing on their own and in teams on the regular. Heres the thing - this list just scratches the surface of a pool of dedicated instructors who go above and beyond to lead, educate and inspire gym goers across the country and around the world. If you are one of these top-notch instructors - THANK YOU. For upholding the quality and integrity of my chosen profession. If you are not one of these instructors - if youve slipped or gotten lazy or find yourself unmotivated, I encourage you to find the spark, find some fellow enthusiastic instructors to support you, and work to be AMAZING. And if you are a gym goer, I encourage you to give constructive criticism where it is warranted, and give praise where it is due. Not just to the instructors you love, but to their bosses and to the head honchos of the companies where they work. They are unsung heroes. Paid very little, supported with barely a budget or even a department. I cant speak for every instructor, but I can tell you that my life would be far less rewarding and interesting, my body would be far less healthy and strong, my mind wouldnt be challenged in so many ways, if not for my love of group fitness. And theres no way I love group fitness if not for YOU. I cannot thank you all enough for being a part of this adventure that has been a huge part of my life for almost 25 yrs. Mindy Green - thanks for being there in the beginning, and sticking with me all these years. I love you and I LOVE WHAT I DO.
