Hi I'm a 25 year old 5 year veteran of Les Mills. I love these programs. These are the only thing I do in a club anymore. I used to be a guy that worked out in the free weights and did some occassional cardio on my own but from 5 years ago to today I've been transformed into a Les Mills junkie. I'm certified to teach BODYPUMP, BODYCOMBAT, BODYSTEP, and BODYFLOW. I'm interested in working into an RPM, BODYATTACK, BODYVIVE, and possibly BODYJAM certifications. I am also in the hunt for information concerning becoming a Master Trainer. BODYPUMP and BODYSTEP are the programs I'm thinking about Master Training in.
I work at a Hospital in Mt. Vernon when I'm not working at the gym. Or I guess it kinda goes the other way around. I work at the gym when I'm not working for the Hospital. I enjoy doing things outside when the weather permits. Such as hiking, fishing, riding trails, golfing, tennis, basketball, pretty much any sport. When summertime finally shows up swimming at a lake near my house and cliff jumping can take up some of my time as well. I find reading books for pleasure to be fun but when there is good weather I'd much rather be outside. I enjoy photography as a hobby. Took a class in college to find out how to develop and print my shots. Totally awesome stuff. Nothing like looking at a print I've done and being able to say that I did that from start to finish. Amazing.
Like I've said I've been teaching for five years. Exercise has always been an important part of my life but when I was a freshman in high school it became so much more important. I got diagnosed with Type I Diabetes some 11 years ago now and without exercise my doctor said I probably would have died in 2003 when I had to go to the ER. How's that for a dose of reality therapy. So since then Les Mills and the classes I teach have become more and more important to me. I like to take my passion for teaching and find ways to touch my members. There's no feeling better then having a member come up to you at the end of a class or someone who's been taking classes with you for months and have them say what a difference "you" have made in their lives. It's incredible!!! Sometimes we don't think that we are touching people dramatically every day but we truly can create life changing exercise experiences every day.
I'm glad to be a part of the Les Mills community and look forward to picking the brains of others to find out where I can improve.
Availability
I could be interested in teaching Friday mornings until noon and any weekends at any times. Depending on the vacinity of the club to my location there are some possibilities of Mon-Thurs morning classes being available for me as well but can be discussed at a later date.
