Being a fitness instructor has changed. Here’s a brief guide to being a Les Mills instructor in the new Covid-19 world.
- How do I work Zoom has replaced what is the number for the office as the most commonly asked question on all instructor pages.
- Nobody knows what release we are now on for any programme. Some instructors opted to skip a release, some did not and Les Mills United will be a release in between the numbers we don’t know anyway anymore. Nobody has asked if we will have to pay for it. I’m quite surprised by that.
- Launches and what to launch are still a hot topic even though we quite clearly won’t be able to do a traditional launch for a while yet.
- I’m still slightly surprised nobody has asked what the best trainers for training on carpet are yet.
- If instructor led Zoom classes prove anything it’s that virtual is not yet ready to replace live classes.
- Either all instructors have very tidy homes or people did a lot of cleaning at the start of Lockdown.
- We are willing to pay A LOT for barbells.
- Could you teach in a facemask has replaced dumbbells in Body Pump as the most controversial debate.
- Largely because it’s ok to use Dumbbells in Body Pump now… Glen said… only took a worldwide pandemic to sort that out.
- We are all thinking about teaching in the rain, because we live in the UK and it’s summer time, so obviously it’s going to rain every time we teach outside.
