RPM training is done and done! Three programs down, five to go - KIDDING!! I think I'm done now ...

Now the work towards the video begins!

AUSSIE! AUSSIE! AUSSIE!
OY! OY! OY!

I'm a 26-year-old displaced Australian BodyPump and BodyCombat instructor, currently living in Orange County, California.

I started with BodyPump training in 2005, with no instructing experience, and added BodyCombat just recently in October 2007. I love these programs, being a part of the Les Mills global community, and I just love my classes and participants.

BodyPump was my first Les Mills love, and I have loved every second of participating in and instructing in this program. No matter the mood I'm in, getting up there and working with my classes to push themselves and have fun for that hour always cheers me up, and I love seeing their progress, enjoyment, and even grimaces! (In fact, I think I like those best. LOL!)

My friend Natalie and I are starting BodyCombat from scratch at Custom Bodies Fitness in Irvine, and it is so amazing seeing these members experience the program for the first time and just falling in love with it, and making great strides in their fitness and technique in such a short amount of time. I can't wait to see where they are in six months and how far I know they will come.

If you ever wanna stop by, I teach at Gold's Gym in Huntington Beach (BP on Monday nights at 6.30pm, and Thursday mornings at 5.15am) and Custom Bodies in Irvine (BodyCombat on Wednesdays at 6pm and Saturdays at 8.15am.)

You have a choice. You can throw in the towel, or you can use it to wipe the sweat off of your face.

The finish line isn't given, it is earned.

The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.

Tough times don't last but tough people do.

Just because your muscles start to protest doesn't mean you have to listen.

Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go.

I find that the harder I work the more luck I have.

Free the mind. The body will follow.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

OOoooo! I've marked Wed July 15th in my calendar (the wed after the 12th)- you'll be launching BC @ CB, right?
I'm hoping we'll get up there b 4 then, as well, if that's ok. This wed the 2nd is looking good for both Kathy & I...we had so much fun w/BC @ the Las Vegas Q that we want more!!

Funny, Gold's in HB is offering the same Spinning cert on Oct. 11th - do you have RPM & Spinning there? Thought it was all LM programs...or are there 2 Gold's in HB?

Hey Michele!
I'm so bummed I can't make your BC launch on the 12th - I told my friend Kathy - She & I are going to try to get up there on a Wed...SOON!! July 2nd or 9th...I'll keep you posted!

Ya, I love the new pump too. Great music & challenging new innovations. I've barely started preparing for our launch. I work best under pressure - so until I have a launch date, I'll remain a slacker on learning the choreo!!

Congrats on your RPM! Looks like Kathy & I will be going to LB Gold's for the Johhny G Spinning cert on July 19th.

Looking forward to finally meeting you in person!!
