[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of training dd instructors have to have? I know so many women that ended up in PT after taking Bodypump and other classes at Golds. The teachers are not good about teaching proper form and especially neck/shoulder protection. [/quote]

They have a weekend-long (2 days) of all-day training, plus always received Les Mills updates and info. Instructors (and myself) constantly remind people to watch their form, and am happy to help people before and after class. That said, there are always some people that just aren't good a mirroring what other people do with their form, and making sure theirs matches an instructor. Those people are better suited for personal training I think - group classes just aren't their jam. I don't know anyone who's ended up needing PT for bodypump! [/quote]

Two days of training!?

The people getting hurt/getting PT are the ones who aren’t showing back up in your class! [/quote]

Nice, any SAHM who took a weekend course could be your instructor. The lack of real barriers to entry into the fitness industry is quite appalling, given the potential risks to the clients. This goes for personal trainers too. Most of them can’t tell their knee from their a** but as long as they are “personable” and look good themselves they always manage to find clients. [/quote]
