Oh my God what a night! An absolutely packed class (I think we came close to setting the gym’s record… all up about 50 people!!). All the regulars, a few new people, plus other Combat, Pump and Step instructors from gyms all over town showed up in support. So many friendly smiling faces – how [...]

So tomorrow at 5:30 I have my BODYCOMBAT instructor assessment.

2) I think there have been [...]

Now that I’ve done this Body Combat 37 at least half a dozen times I feel I can give it a decent review as some of my opinions have changed a little since the first time I did it two weeks ago at the quarterly workshop.
1. Upper/Lower body warmups: Summer Of 69 (Mega-mania) [...]

So on Sunday I made the trek up to Auckland for the Les Mills Quarterly instructor workshop, and the latest releases of all the LM programmes – specifically for me BODYCOMBAT 37 and BODYPUMP 67. Both were awesome! Both classes were packed to capacity – imagine 300-400 likeminded people just going off! The only thing [...]
