Qualified To Teach

In early 2006, after an 11 year absence from the gym, I returned to Fitness First in Feeding Hills, MA and immediately started taking BodyFLOW. Being an avid but somewhat out of shape water skiier I figured that was a good place to start. Shortly after that I added RPM classes to my schedule where I have the pleasure of attending classes taught by US National RPM Trainer Leighann Novotney.

At the urging of several BodyFLOW instructors I started shadowing and getting used to being in front of the class.

Oct 12-14, 2007, Hampshire Hills, Milford NH: I attended BodyFLOW training lead by one of the best trainers around (so I'm told), Susan Laney. I suppose if you can teach me *anything* you must be pretty good at it!

Now I get to "share the stage" at Fitness First with Leighann, Sheila and Linda. Hopefully I'll be able to lead a class as well as they have for so long.

April 4-6, 2008: Completed BodyCOMBAT Training with Angel Santiago and Joel Freeman, two great trainers. After Friday I was sore all weekend until Tuesday. Guess I was working hard.

March 7-8, 2009: Just went through RPM Training at Salem Athletic Club in Salem, NH. Oddly, I don't feel the need to sit for anything right now. Standing is just fine, thank you very much. I met some more great and future great Les Mills Instructors.

Did you ever notice that going to a Quarterly is a little more fun with every new training?

I live in Southwick, MA with my lovely wife, Tracey, and our little black lab, Jake.

Sue	Unfortunately, I'm not able to make this Q either. I actually missed the one at Hampshire Hills (aaargh!) because I had already signed up for a conference in NYC that weekend. Your teaching schedule sounds almost like mine, and I don't have a 'day' job on top of it - you're one busy guy! Good luck on the RPM video. I'm sure you'll do great. Keep me posted!

Sue	Hi John - another Les Mills program, eh? And to think, when I met you, you had never taught a class before! Great job!

Lindsey	Hi John, Yes that was me teaching at SAC! You looked like you were having fun outside the class, so I had to invite you in :) I hope you enjoyed RPM training, and congrats on being done! Maybe I'll see you at the next Q! Lindsey

Sue	Hey John - how's it going? Are you going to the Q in August? I'll be there. Are you doing any of the ed sessions on Friday? I've signed up for Flow. It was hard deciding between that and Combat, but I've seen Dan & Rach before, and would love to be taught by Jackie. Hopefully see you there! Sue

Aha! So RPM is next for you, eh? See how easy it is to get hooked? I guess you'll be adding a little blue to your profile page in the coming months?? I'm not going to be able to go to the Q in Haverhill afterall. I'm going to go to a Yoga training instead that weekend. I think it will help me with my Flow, and I'm really getting more interested in it. I can't miss the August one though - seeing all those PDs in person will be great!
Good luck with Combat.
