Trouble in the Fledgling Fitness Aerobics Industry
  • No PAIN, No GAIN
  • 44% students getting hurt
  • 76% instructors injured on the job, 82% knees and below
  • Focus in industry on shoes, floors and certification => treating the symptoms, not the cause
There has to be a better way
  •  Exploration of Martial Arts => many exciting elements to integrate into mainstream fitness
  • Take off your shoes, dimensions and planes, energize without jumping ...
This is more effective, it feels good, but where's the FUN
  •  Dance is Fun! => more exciting elements to  add to the Bod Squad
We have people of differnt abilities, ages, healing from injuries etc.
  • How can we help them in a fitness class?
  • Yoga and the Healing Arts => More exciting elements to add to the Bod Squad
