I needed this, as I was like you. I saw ETM as aerobics and was more sports based but with age, dance really appeals to me so I find myself revisiting my ETM manuals and chasing aerobics classes to build my confidence. Thank you again ❤
Hey! Recently got certified in Les Mills Body Combat and have been teaching for a little over a month. i have a class today and stumbled upon your video trying to find some motivation on getting my class pumped up. Loved your advice! Thank you so much!
You have natural speaking talent and it shows you are a people's person! I have no doubt your trainees adore you and you bond them together! Everything you say is exactly on the spot! I have a feeling your chanel will grow a lot if you put more content! Kudos! :)
Thank you for your advice so glad I found your you tube channel. I also wasn’t keen to teach classes but you are so right 😀 love your content thank you!!
Hi! I just came across your channel and I'm so thankful I found your videos. You're so motivating and passionate that Its pushing me in the direction of getting certified as a spin instructor. I fell in love over the summer with spin and just about everyday I imagine getting out of my shell, sharing my passion to inspire others. When I do take the leap I will look to videos for encouragement . Be blessed and thank you!
Im going to be teaching a group fitness class for my university next semester! I will be subbing first semester and have my own class spring semester. I am so excited and nervous! Thank you for the great tips
I Love love love your videos! I,m becoming a group fitness instructor and I'm literally obsess with your content and tips thanks for being so awesome Katy.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience with us:) Its sad that u get very low views! i live on the other side of the planet and your videos are really inspire and helpful to me:) glad i discover you
I just started with classes and I'm having a hard time packing my class with people. I'm doing my best but it seems there is no much results and it's disheartening 🙃 hopefully it will improve with time #fingerscrossed
Thank you, Katy! Training to be an Orangetheory Coach right now...did ok on my graded mock class so need to do another one in 2 weeks to actually move on to become a Coach. Your tips were SOOOOO helpful! Thank you. Feeling inpsired!
thank you so much for this really great advice! I have a video request, will you make a video about how to be assertive and a good leader in group exercise? you seem like someone who can really own a room. also do you have any tips on what to do if someone distrupts the class or starts talking? much love 💜🌞
Yes, be happy to make one. Curious though, are you looking for tips on how to be confident as a group ex instructor regardless of people walking in or out of your class, or how to "own the room" as a group exercise instructor and lead with all the distractions?
Thank you so much. Yes I think I'm really looking for advice on owning the room. I feel like I've never had to be in charge and lead people, some people just have this energy where everyone pays attention and takes them seriously and that's what I need to work on.
Great stuff - one pointer regarding high-fives -- usually in a workout, people's hands may very well be sweaty, and some people may not feel right about a high five... telling them to give a high five as the only option may make them feel uncomfortable -- give them options.. a high five, a fist pump, a salute, or "say good job to someone"...

I recently started teaching strength classes at my college and these really helped!
Thank you Katy - great tips!!!

Katy outside of Beach Body do you have any certs for group exercise that you recommend?
What is your favorite way to work out? Cycle, weights, cardio?
Mine is weights first then conditioning.
If you like weights, I would look into BodyPUMP, GroupPOWER, P90X, or maybe even CrossFIT depending on what area you want to teach in also.
Oh sweet. I have some CrossFit Certs. With those outside of a CrossFit box you cannot advertise with those.
Thank's katy! love your advise, thak you so much!.
