Blogging is a good way to market yourself inexpensively online, position yourself as an subject matter expert and educate/share about health, fitness and wellness. In this episode I share why I started my blog (www.livewellwithmichelle.org) and give a few tips on how to decide if blogging is for you.

Chatting with Greggory Whitman, 6 Program Les Mills Instructor, former Group Fitness Manager and Lole Ambassador was so nice, we did it twice😂! Technical issues aside, this is a jam packed episode filled with tips for instructors on how to seek and be sought out for opportunities. Opportunities to present group fitness in both the club and in the Community. We also talked Lole discounts y’all. You need to listen to this one!

SO EXCITED🤩!!! I’m speaking with Dynasti Hunt on my podcast Thursday🙌🏾!!!

Topic: Why diversity and inclusion matter more now than ever in Group Fitness Classes. This is a short precursor to Thursday where I fangirl over her so we can use our full interview time on the topic LOL😂!

Check out her site (www.dynastihunt.com) and DM me questions!! You can also leave questions on the voice recording option on any of the platforms you listen on! Click “Episode Webpage” then “Send Voice Message”!

How many certifications do you need and do participants care what you have? Should they care? Short but sweet reflection on the subject. Would love your thoughts, instructors and participants alike!

Patti MacAulay, one of my East Coast Crushes (LOL) was an avid group fitness participant of 20 years when she first became an instructor ... at 48!! From BODYPUMP & CXWORX to BODYVIVE/TONE and on to Rebounding, Indoor Cycling and Yoga (coming up to her 300hrs!), Patti is one of my fitness inspirations and we have a great conversation about how to keep running outdoors and saving our knees as group fitness instructors lol. 

Shout outs to Erica Croke, Fred Kung in this episode!!

In this episode I share the three “P”’s (Payment, People and Programming) from the instructor, member/participant and company’s perspective. Some hard truths to hear for even the most die hard group fitness instructor, but it could be what changes your life in terms of having a career in this industry. Listen and then leave your thoughts - I’d love to hear them!

As a group fitness instructor do you need to have a niche market? If you’re looking for more opportunities is it wise to tune into just one population?

Accomplished professional musician and educator, Gina Farrugia talks with me about group fitness instruction and vocal health, training etc.

Collection of recordings I did looking at motivation from an instructor and participant point view. The last one I got a little heated as I shared one of my instructor pet peeves about ... instructors lol!

My thoughts about different types of group classes from an instructor point of view. I also ponder about what participants think so if you have thoughts on the subject, please leave a message on this episode:).
