FitClasses.com - The internet resource for Group Fitness Instructors and Personal Trainers
August 2007

Hello all!  Summer's here and it is HOT here in South Carolina.  Be sure to pay close attention to your particpants this time of year - watch for signs of fatigue/stress.  Your participants may be coming to class already exhausted, and not realize it.  Read this article for more > on recognizing and treating heat exhaustion.

New Resources
We have added some great new features to the site.  The most helpful one for regular users of the site will be the 'New at FitClasses.com' box on the left side of every page.  This is where we describe and link to the newest content on the site.  Right now you will find information about 3 new articles and some great choreography submitted as a result of last month's challenge.

From Kelly - YouTube Challenge
Last Month's Challenge went so well...
Last month I asked you to consider giving back by writing something for the site.  I got some great choreography and a new article.  Thanks to all for the new resources.
 
I was looking at YouTube today and I noticed that there are 14,000 aerobics choreography videos on that site, and 1390 step aerobics choreography videos. 
 
I would love to see some FitClasses.com'ers on YouTube!!  You are downloading the routines - help out other users by recording yourself teaching the routines and posting them.  You can email your videos to me, and I will post them, or you can post them on YouTube and send me the link is so I can post it on the site.
 
Since the 'Cotton Eye Joe' routine has become sort of infamous I would really love to see some of you record yourself teaching it to your class.  I want to see FitClasses.com all over YouTube!
 
You may have also noticed that I have added a 'Donate' section to the website.  When I write something from FitClasses.com I always use 'we.'  This is because there are many generous, knowledgeable volunteers writing for the site; I consider the organization to be myself and those volunteers.  However, when it comes to expenses for the site, we are really talking about me.
 
FitClasses.com costs $74/month to run the website.  Even though we do have products for sale on the site, they do not generate enough revenue to cover all the expenses, not to mention time and love, that go in to FitClasses.com.  The 'donate' section is my (lame) attempt to cover the expenses.  If you are so inclined to donate, please feel free.
Thanks for being a part of FitClasses.com.  See you again soon!
