Hey whats up??

I'm James and i'm a junior in high school. Yeah pretty young to be going into training to be a group fitness instructor; someone once told me -it dosen't matter if your old enough, as long as your good enough.

Les Mills has compleatly changed how i thought about fitness. A little over a year or so back, fitness would have been the last thing on my mind and all i would want to do is sit around at home grazing on whatever food was in the house. Then i got introduced to Les Mills and that changed me so much. Now i dread being away from the gym and sitting at home.

The gym I go to and hope to be an instructor at is Oxygen in Bayville, NJ and now Brick, NJ! The new additions going on in both clubs look great. Theres going to be an all new group fitness rooms!! The trainers there are truely amazing in what they do and how they motivate everyone in class and know how to transform every class into a party. It's one big family and now we just got even bigger.

**Passed training and my video in Bodyflow 40. I was assigned standing strength and balance during my training. LL, thank you so much for being such a great trainer and coach! I learned so much in that too short of a weekend! You too Barb!!! a.k.a "mom" haha!!! BE THE CALM IN THE STORM.

**Just finished Bodycombat training and am all good to start working on my video! Feels so good to yawn again. My tracks were combat 1 and power training 3 on 37. I got so much information from both Angel and Danielle. Now, time to start preparing for my video! Thinking of filming over winter break. FITNESS IS A BATTLE, WELCOME TO THE FRONT LINE.

Next up...BODYJAM! Found a training in Jan!

Then...I'm good with just the three for a good while.

WOW!!! The Q3 was amazing!! I met everyone I wanted to and JACKIE MILLS! She is such an amazing and real person. (haha, you should of seen her face when I told her I was 16!) I go to take 3 classes with her and squeezed into the education session. Also tracked down the rest of the NZ team and met all of them too! BEST WEEK EVER!!

Got some of my art portfolio in my pics. Tell me what you think!! And no i don't plan on being an artist, it's just a hoby.

Hey man! Congratulations on your Flow Cert! An good luck with Combat! That class is so intense! I'm impressed to see someone your age working hard and reaching for their goals, fitness or otherwise! I hope you can inspire other young people to do the same!

Good luck with Jam! It's an awesome class and although the training is tough as nails, it's so much fun. You don't realize how hard you work until it's over. But you might want to practise NOT yawning again! 5 push ups and salk shaka (or whatever move) await you if you yawn. You'll be training on 47 which is probably the coolest realse I've seen! Enjoy.
