Can I find you on Instagram?
It seems as if an exercise teacher can not exist without a social media account. Everyone wants proof of the pudding before they try a class. A perfect class, with everyone performing the perfect combination, beautifully dressed and prepared for the camera. How do I find your pay-per-view? Sorry, no card payment, just pop the money in the tin! Can I try online? Sorry- nope. Not enough room in our house to swing a cat let alone lay a mat down for the cat to lie on! Come to the hall and try it in person. Feel the atmosphere and sense of belonging, the companionship, and the sense of achievement. I will ‘teach’ you step by step, give teaching points, and pick the music according to the class. Do you have a video I can watch to see what it's all about? No, I don't, I do not have a film crew with an editing suite and a magic filter that gives everyone the perfect figure they want. Nor do we rehearse until we get it step perfect; it is living in our muscle memory, not a YouTube clip. My social media feed is flooded with classes for at-home reformer sessions without a reformer to demonstration classes with 3 instructors performing the same routine on a raised platform in a dance studio full to bursting. When watching these clips, I ignore the front rows and watch the participants at the back of the class; more often than not, they are a few steps behind and catch up just as the next movement is cued in. If you are looking for a class, do not assume it does not exist if it isn't online. Search your local halls as there is a world of opportunities, and there will be ‘something’ that ticks your boxes. We work with real bodies - lumps and bumps, shoulders and hips, not a showcase for likes and shares. (By the way- I do not have a cat!) Comments are closed.
