It's rare that people have one job they love. I've actually got 2 jobs that I love....what are the odds?
My day job is spent in the world of coffee while my weekend job is teaching Spin Classes.
So this morning at 8:00am I taught a Spin Class. I don't love getting up in the morning but I do love the people that come to the class. They TOTALLY keep ME motivated....shouldn't it be the other way around?
I love motivating others and helping them reach their fitness goals. Life is good.
If you've ever considered being a group fitness instructor DO IT. It is one of the best decisions I've ever made!
Anyways, here is my playlist from class today. A few people always ask me about the music so I figured I'd post it in case they (or others) want some new tunes for their workout.
- Paris (Ooh La La) by Grace Potter & The Nocturnals
- In The Air by Phil Collins (No laughing. It is a KICK ASS warm up hill song)
- Bounce by Calvin Harris (feat. Kellis)
- Mr. Brightside (extended remix) by The Killers (9 minute song)
- Tonight, Tonight by Hot Chelle Rae
- Do You? by iFFY (The Bad Man)
- Bright Lights, Bigger City by Cee Lo Green
- Blackout by Breathe Carolina
- On Top by The Killers
- Giving Up The Gun by Vampire Weekend
- The Golden Age by The Asteroid Galaxy Tour
- Ready, Steady, Go by Oakenfold
Cute pic!
ReplyDeleteI have recently considered delving into a fitness instructor career. I am glad I chose today to catch up on all my blogs :D I can't believe I wasn;t "following" you - I put it in quotes b.c I have been over here. You;ve visited me before!
ReplyDeleteAnyway. I guess what I'd like to know is how would one go about getting a job like that ??
I want to try a spin class SO bad! Maybe when I'm visiting the States in a few weeks...hmm.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely going to check out some of those songs, too - thanks!
I've been seriously contemplating becoming a Zumba instructor. Was it you whose mom is a Zumba instructor? I love it. I went to spin this week and my butt is sore cause I havent done it in so long, but I liked the teacher and I liked her songs and technique. I bet you are such a fun teacher.
ReplyDeleteAw, this post makes me miss my favorite spin teacher that left my gym recently! (her leaving actually even made me quit the gym, I liked her so much). I bet your spin class is really fun!! Anytime the instructor feeds off the enthusiasm of the students and loves what they do, I know it'll be a good class :)
ReplyDeleteCoffee and spinning! I would love that too!! I really love spin class but it always conflicts with preschool drop off so I never get to go. I miss it!
ReplyDeleteIs your spinning class in a fancy gym? It looks like a hotel!

My career plan is to finish up my degree in biology with a focus in health/fitness services, then get certified as a personal trainer/fitness instructor. I'm also considering getting certified as a midwife as well. These are two areas I would LOVE to work in, but they also allow me to sort of work as I'm wanted/when I want to, since it would be very client-based.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great playlist!
ReplyDeleteSPIN is amazing! I'm certified to teach, but still haven't gotten around to actually getting my own classes. I'm glad you're a spinning addict too :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah! I love the playlist (I'm reviewing some of your older posts for future work-outs). :-) What spin exercises do you suggest with these songs (ie: hills, sprints, jumps, hover, etc...)? My gym doesn't have spin on the weekends, but I like to go in and use the spin bikes and do my own (or your) routine to my headphones. Yea!
