bits & pieces
Free fitness
training boost
health and careers
of black, minority
and ethnic
women in London
Black, Asian and minority ethnic women
keen to work in health and fitness could
benefit from a landmark training scheme in
London. YMCAfit, the UK's leading fitness
training provider, is offering free fitness
training to black and minority ethnic women
aged 16 and above who are unemployed (or
working less than a week) living in London,
and who have a genuine interest in and
commitment to health and physical activity.
As well as offering a professional training
programme that will lead to nationally
recognised qualifications as either Gym
or Aerobics instructors, participants will
be taught and supported in an environment
that is sensitive to their cultural needs
and heritage.
Upon successfully completing their
programme, participants will also
receive help in finding a job in
fitness, leisure, health and
community activities.
YMCAfit developed the training
programme with the aim of
tackling the massive under-
representation of BME (black and
minority ethnic) women in the
exercise and fitness sector.

Congratulations!!!
Congratulations to Pure Energy presenters
Rachel Ravenscroft and Jamie Tunstall on
the birth of their
beautiful baby boy,
Finlay was born on
22nd Dec, weighed
6lbs 8oz and was
home for Christmas.
All our love and best
wishes from Pure
Energy.
Awwww!!
The scheme is funded by the European
Social Fund and is supported by the London
Development Agency.
Denise Page,YMCAfit's Curriculum Director,
said, "Black and minority ethnic women
suffer disproportionately poor health status
and much of this can be attributed to low
levels of physical activity.
Passionate in our belief that it is everyone's
right to be able to access the health benefits
of physical activity, YMCAfit developed this
new scheme based on research that shows
physical activity delivered in a culturally
relevant way by recognised role models
from within the community is more likely to
inspire others into exercise participation and
adherence”.
Potential participants in the boroughs of
Tower Hamlets and Camden will be targeted,
though women from other London boroughs
who fit the eligibility criteria and
are passionate about health and
fitness are also being encouraged
to apply for a place on one of the
training programmes.
Interested applicants should

Product Information
It’s all
about
the music by Jo Parry
Happy New Year!
This edition of ‘It’s All About The Music’ is so jam
packed with exciting product information and
industry news that I am not sure where to start!
Firstly, welcome to 2007 - I still can’t get used
to saying that! I hope you had a fantastic
Christmas and took time to indulge in some
well deserved rest and of course Christmas
pudding! Seeing the New Year in is always a
fun and exciting time and this year I was
enjoying the festivities in ‘wee bonnie’
Scotland with friends at a Murder Mystery
party! Funny - that is all I am prepared
to say on the subject!!! However,
just before New Year the lovely
Stacey Jacques and myself were
extremely fortunate to be able to
visit our friends in Switzerland
for a few days so we could live
a real Winter Wonderland
Christmas. It was perfect -
very cold but magical! I have
enclosed a picture from the top of
the Stockhorn Mountain. I wanted
to show you a photo from the cable
car of Stacey’s fear stricken face but
as she is the Editor of the Pure Jo and Sta
Energy magazine the photo never of the world
made it past the first proof! Ha ha.
Here is a brief update of the fabulous releases
we have for you to kick start your New Year.
You will have already received information on
your Dec/Jan release sheet and remember you
can always listen and view all the products on
the website www.pureenegrymusic.com
February releases:
Step 88 is a journey back down memory lane
for some of us with dance tracks from Stardust,
Armand Van Helden and Shakedown with a few
new tracks in the mix. I listen to it and visualise

myself dancing away in the club on a
Saturday night, no cares in the world -
those were the days!
The long awaited Latin 10 has arrived with
a summer party feel featuring all the popular
party hits from artists like Jennifer Lopez,
Enrique, Gloria Estefan and Mylo featuring
Miami Sound Machine. The BPMs vary to
enable this release to be used for Dance
Aerobics and Step or Conditioning.
The third release for February is Combat 11
and this has got a mighty punch to it! The feel
resembles that of Combat 5 and 6 which the
wonderful Richard Brooke
compiled and Combat 10 by the
action man himself Jamie
Tunstall. All you dance/club
lovers this is the CD for you.
It’s loud, hard hitting and full
of energy to get your classes
‘geared up!’ Suitable for
Combat, Hi Lo Aerobics, Circuits
and Studio Cycling. Enjoy it!
OK, that’s all from me folks,
but I would just like to say
ce y on to p thank you for your support
and feedback this last year.
I do enjoy receiving and
reading it, both positive and
constructive, as that’s what aids us in our
learning. Also, I would like to say a big thank
you to my friends that often text their feedback
to my mobile if a new release has just come
out. Thank you so much.
Look forward to seeing you at Pure Energy
Lives or maybe at the other conventions this
year. Keep up the great work and thank you for
staying FREESTYLE!
love

The making of the Ultimate

Disco and Rock ‘n’ Roll DVDs
Are you ready to
have fun in the
studio this year?
Here at Pure Energy no two days
are ever the same and I always
look forward to members of the
Pure Energy presenter team
coming in to shoot DVDs.
The making of the Ultimate
collection was no exception.

It all started a few months ago in the Pure

Energy board room where I sat with the Music
Factory directors working on our 2007
development plan. What do we need to do
next? What’s missing from the industry? were
questions I tried to answer with our chairman,
John Pickles and CEO Peter Parkin.
The answer? Fun!
We decided that this year we would put the
fun back into fitness with our new range of CDs
and DVDs, the Ultimate collection.
The CDs, released in October, proved to be
hugely successful and we knew that our
members would need accompanying
choreography and inspiration to put together
classes of a themed nature. And so it was, the
Ultimate
DVDs were created.
Our production team were
briefed, our storyboards were created and our
presenters were booked. And who better than
the kings of aerobics, Dean Hodgkin and Stuart
Harrop to do the job. If you have ever
witnessed or participated in one of these
presenters’ sessions at maybe a Pure Energy
Live or Fitness Fiesta weekender then you will
know that they are the true masters of
entertainment. We wanted to show you how to
rekindle this spark for your classes, after all
everyone wants to have fun and we know how
important it is to class members that they walk
out of the studio not only having had a good
workout but with a smile on their face!

First up was Stuart, he
came, he camped it up
and he conquered! Disco
Stu’ was born right here
at Pure Energy. Stuart
delivers a user friendly Aerobics and Step DVD
all tailored towards the Disco feel. Get your
groove on, shake down and relive the era of
Studio 54 in your very own studio. Not only do
you get 3 blocks of Aerobics and 1 block of Step
choreography but as Stuart dons his groovy
white suit, John Travolta style, you also get
tons of ideas of how to put on a show stopping
performance for your class members. This
would be great as a fundraiser, masterclass or
just a special ‘one off’ class to celebrate that
your participants have learned the routine.
And then, Elvis entered the building! Dean
Hodgkin rocked up in his usual charismatic
style and delivered a flawless, and very fast
Rock ‘n’ Roll Aerobics. I had already witnessed
Dean in Rock ‘n’ Roll action at Pure Energy Live
in Birmingham back in 2006 so I knew we
were in for a treat! His teaching and
breakdown was awesome and the quickness
of his feet was something else! Dean delivers

all dance aerobics choreography and then in
full Elvis attire (and glasses, might I add) he
performs impeccably to Blue Suede Shoes,
with fantastic choreography and brilliant
lyrical interpretation. It really is great!
Loads of ideas, loads of inspiration and,

that you might enjoy it too!!!

Developing
Your Pilates
Career
In part 2, Cherry Baker advises
about special population classes and gives
some essential tips on class planning
Whether you work within a club
environment offering small group classes
or you work within the private sector
running your own classes, write to all doctors
surgeries, physiotherapists, osteopaths and
chiropractors in and around your area.
Write to them regarding your qualifications
and experience (be aware that many health
professionals have got bad opinions of some
Pilates classes). You will have to show them
you are knowledgeable and able, give them
brief information about how your classes
may be different and useful for those
recovering from injury etc. Offer them the
opportunity to come and observe a class or
attend free of charge. Nerve wracking I know
but if you're good, believe me it will pay off
in the long run.
Back Care
Gain specific qualifications to teach back
care Pilates. Apply to your training provider
regarding gaining level three Pilates
qualifications and ask about specific add
on courses for back care, many training
providers offer such courses. Modern Pilates
14
runs a two-day course on common back
complaints and looks at appropriate and
inappropriate exercises. It also covers
conditions that you should not work with
and guidelines for screening and referrals
to health professionals. This course is
available to instructors who have Modern
Pilates or an equivalent level three
qualification.
Specialist classes may have to run with
smaller numbers, offering both day and
evening classes. You may be able to use
time slots that are not as busy with
mainstream classes.
Pre and Postnatal
Pilates can be an ideal form of exercise
for mums to be. In an ideal world pre and
postnatal Pilates should be given on
prescription! Standing stability work, lifting
techniques, core stability and postural work
would be great for mums after pregnancy.
The correct exercise can help develop mums
stability that’s often compromised by the
effects of pregnancy and can help repair the

abdominals and pelvic floor before
embarking on more advanced or energetic
exercise. However, you do need a specific
qualification if you want to specialise in
this area. Contact your training provider to
see if they offer training in pre and postnatal
Pilates, or take training in pre and postnatal
exercise in general.
Older Adult
My older adult Pilates are one of my most
popular daytime classes. We use times such
as 10.45am, 11.15am and 12.00 noon. All times
that previously I have struggled to fill.
OK, I don't take more than 12 to 15 clients
but we generally hit this figure. I charge
less but it’s not prime timetable slots and
I really love my clients. They are loyal, fun
and the improvements I have seen have
been amazing.
There are courses for falls prevention, chair
based programmes as well as Pilates and the
older adult. Many of you may already have
training in this field. With general older
adults, if you have a level three Pilates

“Pilates teachers
taught at level three

base but we are not
physiotherapists!
We can, however,
bridge the gap for
many clients between
rehabilitation and
mainstream fitness”
qualification, you would easily be able to
work with this specialist area with a little
research and adaptation. If, however, you
want to work with less able-bodied older
adults you may need further training. I can't
tell you how much good feedback we get
from these classes.
Pilates and specialist populations
As I have become more experienced with
various aspects of Pilates and rehabilitation,
we moved into working with clients with
MS and Parkinson's disease. My colleague
Sheila Done has taken over in this field and
has become a bit of an expert. We often get
Physiotherapists asking to attend Sheila's
specialist classes to see how she works with
these groups and she really is fantastic.
Again, falls prevention and chair-based
courses could help you to get into this area.
Both Sheila and myself will offer specific
Modern Pilates training for clients with
MS and Parkinson's but unfortunately not
until late 2007. Do contact Cherry at
oldsawmillstudio@aol.com if you are
interested and we will keep you up-to-date.
f
15
Pilates
Again, make enquires for falls prevention
and older adult qualifications with various
training providers as they may provide
information on these specific conditions.
These classes are very, very hard work and
really I don't know how Sheila does it. To be
fair, these classes often just cover costs and
sometimes not even that! As a business it
doesn't make sense but we are offering a
service and feel it's important. My husband
moves clients' cars and helps lift and move
those clients along with more severe
disabilities, some even attend in wheelchairs.
We run these classes at off peak times and
we limit the numbers to 6, we use the small
studio and offer a discount as most of the
customers are on benefit. We would love
to get some sort of funding for these classes so
we can offer more or be able to afford a stair lift
meaning we could take more than 6 clients, if
anybody has any ideas do let me know!
Later classes
Whilst people may not like to do aerobics at
8.30pm it can be a popular time for Pilates.
I regularly get a full Pilates class in my
Thursday (8.45pm - 10pm) Pilates and
relaxation class. It is an intermediate/
advanced class but we always finish with
a good relaxation. I also get 50% male
attendance!
Class planning
If you are looking at setting up a Pilates
programme then start with beginners.
An initial six-week course is a fantastic base.
Once these classes become busy and class
members become more experienced, change
this to an improvers class and add a later or
earlier class on the same night for beginners.
This way you can teach classes on the same
night, perhaps building up to 3 on the same
16
night/day rather than having to teach every
day and night. If possible have a 15-minute
gap between sessions so you can screen and
chat to new people and make yourself
available immediately after class.
Sure Start and other
government initiatives
It is worth looking into the above to see if
schemes or finance are available in your
area. This may help you set up specific
classes such as postnatal Pilates.
Unfortunately my studio is out of the
catchment area for this funding but you
may be luckier.
A Final Note:
To make your Pilates classes successful, you
do need good training but you also need to
go the extra mile by being available before
and after class and to be able to work with
individuals within a small group
environment.
Pilates teachers taught at level three have
a good knowledge base but we are not
physiotherapists! We can, however,
bridge the gap for many clients between
rehabilitation and mainstream fitness.
I have worked with a couple of marathon
runners sent to me from local
physiotherapists (not that I know diddly
about marathon running and would need
gas and air to run more than 5 miles), but
I do know how to strengthen the gluteus
medius and how to stretch the IT band if
that's what the physio has asked me to do.
I have a rule of thumb that if somebody
comes to me with pain that is undiagnosed,
I ask him or her to see their GP or
physiotherapist before I accept them into

class. Teachers need to feel confident with
any injury or condition that a client brings
to class. If you don't do what I do and admit
that we are not physiotherapists (well
I'm not) and if you are not confident
with anything specific then get more
information or refer them on. You will be
respected for admitting your limitations
and being professional.
Case Study - Sheila Done
(Modern Pilates Matwork and Advanced
Personal trainer, currently taking conversion
course in CYQ level three Matwork Pilates)
“My passion was teaching swimming;
I thought nothing could distract me from
this vocation. In my role as a Coach, I led
land-training sessions for my squad.
I became aware that the emphasis on
training was swimming specific yet these
swimmers were becoming injured, there
was something missing. This is the point
I decided to develop my knowledge in
Modern Pilates. From this moment I became
torn between two passions, I couldn’t
believe the impact Modern Pilates had on
my career. Slowly the coaching in swimming
has had to be reduced whilst the client base
and job satisfaction gained from Modern
Pilates has exceeded all expectations”.

Communication
What’s your style of communication?
Are you visual, verbal or the strong
silent type?
When teaching we all use different
forms of verbal and non verbal
communication but how much
information are we giving our
participants, and is it enough for
a safe and effective workout?

Verbal communication
Cueing - This is the first thing that springs
to mind when we look at communication.
To cue correctly working with the music is
essential. Have you ever been in a class
when a) the cueing is off the beat of the
music? b) someone is constantly counting
12345678? or c) the volume and tone of voice
doesn't alter with the tracks that are being
played? You end up with someone
constantly shouting or very monotone for
a whole hour, it can be very frustrating and
makes it very hard to enjoy the music that
you are listening to. Try and keep any verbal
communication to the essentials so people
can enjoy the music and atmosphere you
are trying to create.
Direction, technique and Options - When
choreographing to music clear directional
cues such as when to stand, sit and hand
transitions are important and should be
closely followed with technical cues such
as where there body should be and why.
Offering options throughout your session
will also help you teach to a wider range
of mixed levels this allows participants to
work at their own level and still have an
effective workout.
Praise and motivation - everyone LOVES
being praised whether it is in a group or
even better on an individual level. As an
instructor it shows you are aware of the
participants in your session and their
improvements. Motivation can be put across
in different ways, it doesn't have to be done
in a boot-camp style, some participants
respond well to this where as many like
praise and encouragement to get them
through it.
If you let your participants know what goals
they are trying to achieve per track you allow
them to pace themselves and get to the end,
when they finish the session they leave
feeling a sense of achievement rather than
failure. For example; a 7 minute track with
the aim of completing 3 hills and in each hill
climb there will be 3 increases in resistance.

20

Be positive
Other things to consider verbally are, are you
using constant terminology? Is the language
you are using positive? Are you talking clearly?
And are you saying it like you mean it? Be
positive, confidant and enjoy what you are
teaching, it will reflect back in your session.
Non verbal communication
Acoustics and studio layouts can make it
difficult for participants to hear verbal
communication so as an instructor visual
cueing is very important.
Cueing - The same as verbal communication
visual cueing is the first thing as instructors
we feel comfortable teaching. Directional
cues need to be made very clear and
consistent so they are easy to follow.
Technical cueing is where you as an
instructor can demonstrate good form and
posture for participants to follow remember
you are their role model.
Alternatives
Some times it easier to demonstrate
alternatives visually so you can layer on
intensity options allowing people to choose
which level they feel most comfortable to
work at. As instructors and educators we
all know that we should work with our
beginners in our sessions. If you see
someone needing to sit down offer it as an
alternative they will feel less embarrassed
following the instructor than if they had to
sit down on their own.

Performance and teaching
I know you may think how do I perform on
a bike? Here are some ideas;
• MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC give yourself
themed session or even performance
tracks
• Look at the music you are using, is it
happy, aggressive, intense and adapt
your facial expressions, body language
and tone of voice to suit
• Choreography allows you to use the
music and perform
• You can also use long tracks to get off the
bike briefly and interact with the group
• Fantasy travel is another option do you
enjoy creating a visual and verbal
journey for your participants to follow?
If so take them for a tour de France session
• Smile and make eye contact!!
Build a rapport with your participants.
You don’t always have to talk

Research
We are back around the front of the body this issue
looking at the OBLIQUES. We will review attachment,
nerve supply and function as well as comment on
their role in torso stabilisation.
Anatomy
Review
The oblique muscles are divided into external
and internal obliques. The external obliques
are located to the front and side of the
abdominal wall. Their fibres run diagonally
downward and towards the midline of the
body. The internal obliques are also located to
the front and side of the body but are found
underneath the external obliques. They arise
lower down the body and attach further down
as well. Each set of obliques will be dealt with
separately as, having different attachments
and lying at an angle to one another, there will
obviously be some variance on muscle actions
even though these actions are complimentary
to one another.
External Obliques
Arises:
External Oblique attaches to the external
surface or border of the lower eight ribs and
their costal cartilage. The fibres, like fingers,
interlock with serratus anterior above and
latissimus dorsi below.
Attaches:
Muscle fibres from the lower 2 ribs travel
downward and toward the midline of the body,
attaching to the front two-thirds of the iliac
crest. The other fibres insert into the
abdominal aponeurosis as they sweep across
rectus abdominus, form part of the rectus
sheath band and then fuse with the rectus
sheath from the other side, at the linea alba.
26
Nerve Supply:
These muscles are supplied by the front,
primary branch of the lower six thoracic
nerves, T7 to T12.
Traditional Function:
The external obliques assist in:
• Concentric spinal flexion
• Contralateral rotation of the spine
(rotation to the opposite side)
• Posterior pelvic rotation
Integrated Function:
They assist with:
• Eccentric spinal extension
• Eccentric spinal rotation
• Eccentric anterior pelvic rotation
• Dynamic stabilisation of the
lumbo-pelvic-hip complex
Internal Obliques
Arises:
The muscle fibres arise from three attachment
areas, the lateral two-thirds of the inguinal
ligament, the front two-thirds of the iliac crest
and the thoracolumbar fascia.
Attaches:
The fibres fan outwards.
The most posterior fibres attach to the lower
borders of the lower three/four ribs.
The anterior and lower fibres travel upwards
and towards the midline of the body until

they form a aponeurosis along a line that
extends down from the tenth costal cartilage
to the pubis. The aponeurosis is again involved
in the formation of the rectal sheath before
connecting with the sheath from the
opposite side at the linea alba.
The fibres arising from the inguinal ligament
travel medially and downwards and blend
with the lower part of transverse abdominus
to form the conjoint tendon that attaches to
the pubic crest.
Pectoralis
major
External
oblique
Internal
oblique
Nerve Supply:
The same nerves that innervate the external
obliques, with the addition of the first lumbar
nerve L1, supply these muscles.
Traditional Function:
The internal obliques assist in:
• Concentric spinal flexion
• Ipsilateral rotation of the spine
(rotation to the same side)
Integrated Function:
They assist with:
• Eccentric spinal extension
• Eccentric contralateral spinal rotation
• Synergistic rotational and translational
stability to the lumbar spine with
transverse abdominus because of its
attachment to the thoracolumbar fascia.
Research
Report by Pure Energy Presenter
Lorna Lee Malcolm
Lorna presents to instructors and consumers all over
the world, lectures in further education and writes
for and consults on various trade and consumer
magazines. She often features in articles and has
made numerous appearances on TV and radio.
Rectus
abdominis
Remember that concentric
contractions are acceleration actions
whereas eccentric contractions work
in deceleration.
Transverse When flexion of the trunk occurs it
abdominis does so not just through activation of
rectus abdominus but also concentric
contraction of the external and internal
obliques of both sides. If the ribs are
the fixed body part the obliques will
lift the anterior part of the pelvis and
affect the degree of pelvic tilt.
Note also that the larger contribution to
torso stabilisation by the internal obliques
is due to their attachment to the
thoracolumbar fascia.
In people who have suffered chronic (long
standing) lower back pain there is often
an imbalance between the amount of work
done by the internal obliques as compared
to rectus abdominus. Normally the internal
obliques should work harder during core
stabilisation but in this population often
rectus abdominus works harder to
compensate for weak or inhibited
internal obliques. The solution is to
increase the work of the obliques and
decrease that of rectus. Be aware that
strengthening both sets of muscles will
only maintain the imbalance.

2007
New Year and some
new Business Ideas
You love what you do, but can you make it pay off? The answer
is Yes...with help from this report. Whether you’re looking for an
idea that will build booming profits or earn you a little extra
cash, I’ve got the business ideas, hot tips and testimonials from
other successful fitness entrepreneurs to get you moving
forward for 2007...

There is a financial ceiling on teaching
fitness classes in clubs and leisure centres,
you may be working for exactly the same
rate that you started teaching on, even
though you've furthered your education
by taking courses and attended regular
workshops and conventions but that makes
none or very little difference to our rate of
pay in this industry. It's one rate and one
rate only and that very rarely goes up!
Establish how much money you want
to make per hour
First things first, let’s establish how much
money you want to make per class per hour.
Before you take on another class or
venture you must work out your costs and
profit. How much does it cost you in petrol
to get to and from a venue, include any
parking charges and then work out how
much time you spend getting to and from
the class. Consider how much you spend on
CDs, insurance, and memberships so before
you even walk in the studio door you are
aware of the cost you’ve incurred. Next
divide the class rate you currently receive
into how many hours you have used
travelling to and from the venue.
Example: Pay per class £25. Takes 20 minutes
to get to and from the club. 20 minutes set
up time and questions. Time away from
home is 2hours 10 minutes divided by £25
gives you an hourly rate of £12.50 minus
petrol/parking/insurance/music.
Next, Decide how much you want to earn per
hour and write it down. By writing it down
and seeing the figure in black and white
makes it REAL and ATTAINABLE so let’s
work on getting your desired rate.

Teaching Ideas
Classes in hired venues.
Move out of the health clubs and leisure
centres and hire your own space, seek out
every venue that can fit a minimum of 40
people exercising in. Think big; if you hire a
small room you are limiting the amount of
people who can attend immediately. Ideally
the venue would be within a 10mile radius of
your house to cut out unnecessary travelling
time. Below is a list of venues you must find
and check out. Look in yellow pages under
Halls for Hire, Churches, and Sports Clubs or
try www.yell.com and scour local papers for
information on rooms for hire.
Church Halls - The best rooms to hire are
church halls, they are always cheap, they
don't close for school holidays and they
are community based. Many have been
modernised, have central heating, toilets,
parking and many have a stage and a
sprung floor.
Advice
Report by Guest Presenter Rachel Holmes
“I pay £7.50 for one of my church halls that
is located in the centre of town with parking
for 100 cars next to it and it has a big stage,
my dearest church hall costs £11 for 2 hours”
Caroline Yates, Wilmslow, Manchester
School Halls - Usually more expensive and
many close for school holidays or charge
you more for the caretaker to open and lock
up. The benefits of being based in a school
hall or gym are the many parents who will be
interested in attending your classes. Ask
your contact at the school if flyers can be
handed out to children and staff. Every
school hall class I have ever taught has been
packed with mums and teachers as well as
local residents. Check out if the school
remains open during holidays and if it is
check the extra caretaker fees. Lots of
community schools also have a minimum
hire of 2 hours so you can do 2 complementary
classes taught back to back. School halls
generally cost between £18-£30 per hour.
Function Rooms - Read the local papers and
find out which pubs have large function
rooms. Ring round and find out costs.
Many function rooms are empty in the
week and any landlord would welcome
the prospect of 40-50 extra people f
29
Advice
Your class should be
Entertaining, Educational,
stopping at the end of your class for a drink.
Barter your services and ask for a low room
rent if clients stop for a drink. Busy pubs are
a great way of advertising your classes and
getting the locals attending, stick posters on
the back of toilet doors and get the bar staff
talking about your new class to the regulars.
Vikki Scovell in Bristol runs 'Yoga in the Pub'
and 'Pilates in The Pub' all held in a large
function room. She gets the room free as
most people will stay and have a drink
afterwards so the landlord is more than happy.
So you've found a suitable venue?
Decide which evening and which time slots
you will go for. Monday to Thursday being
the best evenings with Friday evening being
unpredictable. Ask for availability at
weekends, Saturday and Sunday morning
can be extremely busy if it's the right kind
of class.
Next, work out what type of class to teach.
It has to be a class that people of all ages
and abilities can do, it won't work if it’s too
hard, too fast or too complicated. Consider
any type of Body Conditioning, Weight
Management, Mind/Body, Yoga, Pilates,
Dance classes such as Salsa, Ceroc, Street
Dance, Stretch, Abdominal classes, or come
up with something new.
30
Step by step guide into
setting up your class
1 Have professional posters made and
designed include a photo and class details,
include what to wear, what to bring.
Laminate posters and put up every 2 weeks
in hairdressers, nurseries, playgroups,
schools, chiropractors, nail bars,
beauticians, chiropodists, sports massage
therapists, physiotherapists, doctors,
dentists, supermarkets, post offices,
libraries, shops, offices.
2 Design A5 flyers and contact newsagents
to get a fee for your flyer to be delivered
with newspapers.
3 Send press releases and a photo
bi-monthly to all local papers.
4 Write 5 short interesting fitness articles
and send to all local papers and enquire
about writing for FREE a weekly/monthly
fitness article in exchange for free
advertising for you.
5 Make or have professionally made
sandwich board advertising your class and
put it outside your venue when you are
teaching, invite new people to come and
have a look at the class before they join.
6 Advertise your class regularly in the
leisure guide or what's on section of your
local paper.
7 Organise a ‘Bring a Friend For Free’ week.

Escapist and Aesthetic,
create a memorable experience.
8 Sell blocks of classes and give a class for
free eg. buy 10 classes and get the 11th free.
9 Run a loyalty scheme. Have cards printed
or make your own and sign each time the
client comes to class, offer a prize or free
class when the clients attends 10, 20, 50, 100.
10 Always carry business cards, timetables,
flyers and posters where ever you go. Always
give out at the end of class and pass on
complimentary cards to friends.
11 Ensure clients rely on your for them
fitness information. Photocopy fitness
articles and information or write your own
and give them out at the end of class.
12 Align yourselves with other health
related professionals in your area. Keep a
stock of business cards for your favourite
beautician, nail technician, physio,
osteopath etc and give out their cards at
the end of the session in return for them
endorsing your classes.
13 Give posters out to your class members
to put up at their place of work, playgroup,
nursery etc.
14 Give out comment cards and get regular
feedback from classes.
15 Invest in professional sound and mic
equipment.
16 Hire a school hall to teach in and ensure
all the children take a flyer home to parents,
if you hire a Secondary school offer discount
to the older children 15-16 year old girls.
Advice
17 Encourage mothers to bring along their
teenage daughters by allowing the teens to
come for 1/2 price...
18 Take contact details of everyone who
attends your classes; name, address,
telephone number and email address.
When clients stop attending or drop off from
your class send them an email, a postcard
explaining that they are missed and invite
them back into your class.
Find the USP of the class and of you - what
makes your class special? What’s different
about your class? Write down all the ‘Unique
Selling Points’ of your class.
Your class should be entertaining,
educational, escapist and aesthetic,
create a memorable experience.
Maximise your class participation by
keeping the class fresh and exciting.
Brand loyalty - You need to build loyalty
to YOU and YOUR CLASS.
Never waste an opportunity to promote you
and your class.

Boxercise goes
from strength
to strength
in 2007
With over 300 courses over the UK and Europe Boxercise is
one of the most popular training principles in the industry.
We decided to dig a little deeper and investgate what
makes Boxercise so popular.

The Background hand-eye co-ordination, balance and timing.

Boxercise began in the UK in 1992 based
upon training principles that have existed
for over two hundred years. In the UK alone,
over 1.2 million people take part in Boxercise
classes (source: Mintel, 2006). The Boxercise
course has developed age old training
principles and adapted them to form a safe,
effective and fun form of exercise suitable
for all ages and levels of ability.
Boxercise is one of the most effective
forms of cross-training available today.
It combines use of both aerobic and
anaerobic energy systems with the
systematic recruitment of both fast and
slow twitch muscle fibres in a manner that
not only ensures a diverse workout, but also
enhances sports specific senses, including
Boxercise classes are always fun, energetic
and addictive.
Andy Wake, Director of Boxercise says
“The Boxercise qualification is recognised
worldwide and is regarded as the World’s
number one boxing fitness qualification”.
Courses available
• Kick boxercise - level 1
• KickBoxercise
• Boxercise Personal trainer
Each course is credited with 16 REPs CPDs.
Learn how to teach exciting classes, or
incorporate the moves into your personal
training. Expect speed, power, kicks,
reflexes and fun!

 Studio

“Having never thrown a punch before,

I was pleased that it started off at a very
basic level and built up gradually to
ensure that everybody could complete
the movements. Very good, very safe.
An ideal foundation to the course”
Anna Courser, Berkhamstead

Andy Wake gives us his top tips for

improving your coaching
1 Do not be afraid to listen and learn from
others as there is always something to learn!

2 Vary your coaching angles - self analyse -

video yourself, ask others for feedback

3 Observe

4 Give appropriate feedback

5 Use Coaching Keywords for major

teaching & safety points

6 Set session objectives

7 Work on one major fault per session

8 It is always the coaches fault - Focus on

the participant not yourself - you are there
for their enjoyment and you are being paid
for it!

9 And finally and most importantly SMILE -

because a smile is the link between
Successful Motivation, Inspiration,
Learning and Effort.

These are all basic coaching principles used

on the 1 day Boxercise Instructor Training For more info visit www.boxercise.co.uk

Happy New You!
Yes it's that time of the year
again, when we are all full of
turkey and self-loathing. We
look in the mirror and wonder
where it all went wrong,
where that young handsome
man with all those dreams
and hopes went (oh sorry,
going off on one again
aren't I? The therapy is
helping though). However,
you do sometimes wonder
where the years have gone.
Rob and I were round at
Cherry Baker’s Studio in
Glossop for a pre Christmas
get together with some
friends that we used to do the
fitness weekends with. Cherry
brought out a box full of all
the old photos of us dressed
up like the Spice Girls and if
you never saw our imitation
of the girl band you really did
miss a treat. I was sporty
spice in full slap and wig;
Cherry was baby spice,
Debbie Hanson Ginger,
Chrissy Evens Scary and
Sammie Long Posh. We
looked fabulous and we
rehearsed all the dance
routines from the videos (for
younger people reading this
article, videos were what we
had before these new fangled
DVDs). We were living the
dream!
Looking back on the photos
brought a lot of different
emotions flooding through
me, horror was one and if you
saw the wig I was wearing
you would feel it too.
Happiness was the main
emotion though with a
34
feeling of pride, mainly
because the person looking
back at me from the photo
was a young, confident and
dare I say, handsome twenty
seven year old that was
obviously having a great
time, being himself, camping
it up, entertaining the troops
and feeling comfortable in his
own skin.
All of the above is something
I take for granted a bit now,
familiarity breeds contempt
maybe, however, in those
days it didn't come naturally.
Until I found aerobics and
consequently went on to
teach, I was a very shy,
introverted and sometimes
very unhappy person. If you
have met me you will
probably find this hard to
believe, and if you haven't
met me I can be a little - let’s
just say 'festive' and leave it
at that.
I made a choice to do
something with my life
fourteen years ago and I've
never looked back. It's been a
wonderful journey, I've met
interesting and inspiring
people on the way. I met the
love of my life Robert on a
ETM course, all my fab friends
on the fitness weekends,
became a presenter, shot
DVDs, made my own CD
compilations. I know it’s not
saving the world or finding a
cure for piles but it has meant
the world to me, (I'm actually
filling up writing this, how
sad am I?)

The time is upon me I feel
though for the next chapter of
my life, not got a clue what
that is going to be though,
(I'm lying I do, but I'm not
telling you, you might want
to do it too).
So what about you? What
are you going to do with
the rest of your life?
What achievements do you
want to have on you epitaph
and what adventures lie
ahead? You will never know
unless you get out there and
find out. All you have to do,
as my friend Glynda once said
and like me she was a friend
of Dorothy, is just follow the
Yellow Brick road, just follow
the Yellow Brick Road.
Happy New You Everybody.
