CYCLING FIT PRO – YOU NEED REGULAR CARE AND FEEDING.

That’s where ICI/PRO comes in. They deliver the steady, nutritious diet of ici-adInformation, Motivation and Entertainment Instructors need to stay Fresh and Informed.

Reading a profile can be enjoyable, but sometimes not practical, so much of what we deliver comes in the form of Audio PROfiles. Exclusive to ICI/PRO Members, Audio PROfiles are a short Podcast mp3 that explain the inner workings of a class taught by Master Instructor Jennifer Sage or other experienced Instructor. Many ICI/PRO Members access the Audio Profiles via a Super Secret iTunes Feed. Their online training videos show you exactly how to do it.

Each Audio PROfiles is a complete class. Not just the ride profile, but also queuing, presentation ideas, motivating language and a suggested playlist you can use to bring a fresh perspective and maybe some much needed excitement to your next class.

ICI is a great group of fitness professionals dedicated to the specialty of cycling.  I suggest you take a look at their opportunities as there is likely benefit via membership – Take a look at what their membership consists of.

Fitness Education Presenter

Monday, November 9th, 2009

There are several motivators that may drive a fitness professional to consider becoming a fitness education presenter. They are similar to the motivators for an individual to run this track in most any industry.

For the vast majority, that motivation should not be solely monetary gain… at least not directly.

Marketing Health Challenges

Tuesday, October 6th, 2009

As a fitness professional the marketing of health can prove very challenging. Especially since this entire subject matter is left as an after thought when it comes to certification training as a fitness professional.

Besides seeking out competent mentors and/or appropriate trainings for marketing health & fitness, it is helpful to look at what larger organizations are doing in regards to this type of marketing.

One example is from the British Government.  The “Change for Life” campaign utilizes a well known group of animated t.v. stars to spread the word… The Simpsons.

Health & Lifestyle – Wellness Coaching

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

Over the past several years, Wellness Coaching has taken on a more predominant role in the fitness industry.  It is difficult to get through an industry trade journal without running into an ad for one or more “educational opportunities” for becoming a wellness coach.

In working with several thousand fitness professionals from various specialty backgrounds I most often am asked two simple questions.  I want to share those answers with you here.

  1. What is a Wellness Coach – Answer: A proactive advocate for the overall wellness of the client.
  2. What is best training for becoming a Wellness Coach – Answer: Health & Lifestyle Coach Certificate from the National Institute of Whole Health (NIWH).

Want further details on the reasoning for these conclusions? READ ON. (more…)

Circus Fitness Tricks

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

Is it really a guest post when it’s the wife who runs the other side of the FIT Launch business and knows twice as much as me???

Ever been to a fitness workshop or wandered a conference expo and been amazed by some of the toys and movements that have become so popular in our industry?

How about this, have you ever been humbled by said toys or movements? Meaning, you try, you look like an absolute idiot because you don’t know what your doing?

I have! Better yet, I’ve gone in thinking I was strong and centered but come out feeling foolish and ridiculous because I can’t figure out how to engage this or that, while I swing from the apparatus or stand on the toy.

Of course, if you are a like-minded fitness pro you will keep practicing the activity because you bought the damn thing that made a fool out of you, and will have it down within a week to 10 days. It’s that learning curve that gets us at first, but once we understand the technical side of things we can usually master the skill. Well, most of the time anyways. (more…)
