FIT Classes is based in Columbia, South Carolina. We are dedicated to training Group Fitness Instructors on HOW to teach. We believe in training beyond injury prevention - we want to be a resource on what to do in class, from the minute you walk in, to the minute you leave. We believe that every instructor needs to learn about communicating, entertaining and leading.
Each instructor has the ability to build on his/her own strengths in order to attract and satisfy the needs of a larger participant pool. As instructors, when we build our participant pool we touch more people's lives, and our job becomes more satisfying. When we are satisfied and excited about our job, we attract more participants. And the cycle continues...
