OK - so the response to some of our new stuff has been so amazing.  Thank you to everyone for your interest in what we are doing here.  The fact that people are out there actually using the site is its own reward (it has to be - there's no $ in running a free resource website!)  :)

That being said, I have so much going on in my mind - I want to do so much to and with the site, and there are just only so many hours in the day!  Have you ever heard someone say that the reward for a job well done is usually more work?  That sums it up.

Let me tell you where I have gotten this week.  I completed my article for American Fitness magazine.  I am super excited about that.  The article is about teaching common group exercise formats to radio play music.  No word on when it will be published.  I will let you know.

I overhauled the t-shirt shop - re-did the 'Trust me, I'm the Instructor' shirt - very cute.  It's got an angel and a devil instructor on it.  I dig it.  I also re-did the instructor character shirt and I am going to add a 'I heart teaching fitness' shirt before the end of the day if it kills me.  Yet, here I am posting in my blog instead of working on it.  Attention Defecit???  yea.

My plan with the instructor character is that I will post a few variations on faces and allow you guys to request new custom ones based on what you look like.  Then, as I get those done, I will add them to the site.  So the library of characters will get bigger, and I will sell a few shirts in the process.  So send me a custom shirt request - let me know what color hair you have, how you usually wear it when you teach, what color eyes you have, what your complection is like, etc.

What I should have worked on this week is the choreography section.  I have like 25 new songs to post - I promise I am going to work on it tomorrow!

I did get a message board going this week.  Very excited about that.  The response has been great.  A lot of people are looking at it - be sure to post!  Let's get it full so it doesn't look like the red-headed step child of the site (no offense to you red heads.)

It looks like we may be adding one or 2 new writers to the site.  I will let you know more when I have it all sewn up.  If you are interested in volunteering to help out with the site with writing, graphics, choreography, or anything else, please send me an email!  This is an exciting time for FitClasses.com and we need all the help we can get!

Thanks for your interest!
