Certification is Important

Charley, I'm not sure what the solution is either…but I always offer ladies to drop in and visit with me, and or observe a class. Most of the time spent is about 40-50 minutes educating them because they don't know WHAT to ask! I have information typed up explaining what we do and the muscles used in the basic level, an will go through it with them to give them a better understanding, and also let them know that something made be modified based on their body type and ease of execution.
I quit my career to do this, I'm not in it to make a bunch of money…I do this fulltime 7 days a week and put in long hours, and have not had a paycheck yet! So it's definately not about the money! LOL I have taught and trained 8 instructors, and only one of them is qualified to teach advanced classes right now. I also will not put an instructor in charge of a class that isn't qualified to teach that level. I think consistency is also key. I wrote all of the cirriculum, so everyone teaches the same moves with the same break down. This helps when I have to have an instructor sub for someone else, there is NO question what they are teaching! I agree, it's sad when I hear someone gave up because of an instructor!

I don’t know how I missed this thread before. I am planning on getting my pole cert & GFI early next year. The different pro & con pole cert opinions really are eye opening…
