    BA 66 - who is Grant?

    just curious - Lisa seemed to "lean on" Grant a lot on 66 - he does the warm up which I believe she always does - to me that kinda sets the tone.  Is he an assistant PD?  Is this lisa stepping back? -  a la McSweeney to Glen in pump?  in the intro she seems to be alluding to something going on & he is on 65 &66s cover art.

    am I just looking into this waaaaaayyyy too much?

    Grant is a well respected Attack instructor, and Lisa has a LOT of respect and admiration for him.  He has just set up a personal training business, and this is taking up a lot of his focus at the moment, though he still teaches Pump, Attack and Combat with a passion!  Lisa is still very much the PD for Attack, don't you worry about that Smile

    My thoughts exactly!!! the whole master class was a bit weird, Lisa was not so "present" as normally, she basically gave the stage to the guys. And what was the talk about "you'll hear it later.."? What's going on?

    Re: BA 66 - who is Grant?

    I completed my BA training in June with a girl who said she was Grant's girlfriend (a bit of a long-distance relationship from New Zealand to Ontario, Canada if you ask me!!)  and she claims that Lisa is wanting to "groom" Grant for the role of PD.  I'm really hoping that she's wrong on this since I love Lisa in BA and BS!  I haven't been too thrilled with BA since release 64, so I don't know where it's all going and who's influence is coming through, but I'd personally like to see a bit of a turn around to releases like 62 & 63.

    Quite frankly, so long as they keep BA alive, I'm there! Big Smile


    Quitting is not an option. Perseverance leads to greatness.

    IMO if someone is going to be a PD for Bodyattack it should be Bevan.

    Not a fan of Grant on the DVDs.

    My belief is that the reason why Bevan cannot be a PD for Body Attack is that he is not based in Auckland.  He would have to relocate from Christchurch to Auckland for the PD's job, while Grant is permanently based in Auckland.

    Re: BA 66 - who is Grant?

    All of the presenters bring a uniqueness to the Program.

    Grant is very athletic and both he and Lisa have been trying to make the program more reminiscent of a professional athlete's training regime rather than old school aerobics.

    This is also why the arm lines are changing and sharper and there is more emphasis on the purpose and functionality of all of the moves.

    I love Body Attack because all my participants can do it (low or high options) and they all notice amazing changes because of it.

    Lisa may not be going anywhere- but Grant is definately a part of the choreo team.

    Yes, most people love Bevan.

    Kia :)

    Ps, BA 68 filming This Monday at 6pm!

    I don't mind a bit of Grant, but I will say Les Mills has been super lazy using the same photo of him for the last 3 releases!
