Kia Ora,

My name's Colby, whats yours? Congratulations to all fellow Les Mills warriors against the obesity epidemic on fighting the fight that matters!! KIA KAHA!!!!

Well... about me..... hmmm. Interesting question. Living or dead? Real or fictional? Is this just a quick hello, a handshake? Or will we sit down and chat over a cup of coffee? Too many variables, I don't know if I can handle this. Regardless, Top 5, living or dead: 1) Les Mills RPM 2) Les Mills BodyPump 3) Snow Patrol 4) The Fray 5) Romanticism

I am indeed a BopdyPump and RPM (and now BodyStep :D :D :D) instructor in Canberra, ACT, Australia. I am extremely passionate about my instructing, and am plagued by the Les Mills bug! I have a goal; in 5 years I want to be a Proinstructor and Trainer in RPM, Body Pump and Body Combat, and just an instructor in Body Step and Body Attack. I want to make a difference to the lives of people all around the world, and share the common goals of Les Mills instructors everywhere:

I am body.
I am mind.
I am strength.
I am endurance.
I am passion.
I am inspiring.
I am motivating.
I am an educator.
I am life changing.

I am a Les Mills instructor.

In other news... Uh, I dont know, really.... My full name Is Colby Glenn Rook and I live in Jindabyne, Snowy Mountains, New South Wales, Australia, Southern Hemisphere, Earth, Milky Way, Universe, postcode 2627.

Now, many people ask me about my name... to tell you the truth I have no idea if it actually came from the cheese 'Colby'... but I am not the only Colby out there, no! I went to school with a 'Colby Harrison' at Wanniassa Hills Primary School in Canberra, so there! Unfortunately she was a girl, but I swear it is a conjoined name.

Anyhoo, I was born in Newcastle (yes that means I support the knights *sighs*) and we came down to the mountains when i was 3, I think. We then moved between Canberra and here during my transition from primary school to high school, and I really think of Canberra as my true home. So I've now moved to Canberra, and am working here as a full time gym instructor/personal trainer/assistant GFM/Group Fitness Instructor at the ANU Fitness Centre (at the University).

So what else? um... I XC-ski lots, and used to swim even more. Looking to hopefully make a Winter Olympics soon. I love XC skiing so much.... the scenery, the work, just everything about it is awesome (except the tight pants)!

Unfortunately, I have a condition called romanticistic-lovedicosis; symptoms are characterised by falling in love with 90% of the girls I meet. It might sound good, but trust me it's not.... I dont know why I do it, but I just see the best in them all!!! Oh well, I'm doomed to that, I guess - you know what they say: love (and Les Mills classes) makes the world go round!. Another symptom is having 'love actually' as your favourite movie, which isn't exactly something to brag about to your mates, if you know what I mean.

Anyway, I like the simple stuff; I dont drink, or do drugs or any of that; as much as I respect the rights of people to do stuff like that, I think that if you have to rely on getting drunk of getting stoned to have a good time then you're in a pretty bad place. I'm not quite straight-edge, as I dont believe in the religious side of that stereotype. I just like going to parties, hanging out, talking about whatever's on my mind, etc. I hate lying; it is the one thing I can't stand to do or cop. I also care too much about what people think of me.

So there. Hey!

Kia Ora and KIA KAHA!!!!!!

    Hey Colby, Thanks for the info on Pro Instructor, we have AIM the Advanced Instructor Module in NZ. But I run an in-house training project called Rising Stars which has had excellent results with Instructors class numbers increasing and 5 of the 8 being being selected to present at Workshop level. And other instructors wanted to be part of the project. Hey you should GO FOR DREAM of becoming a Trainer:) Work hard and surround yourself with the best in the business. You can be anything you want in this world:) Be happy my young friend Smiles Caroline:)
