Good question, in this case it applies to the gym and the groupfitness classes.
To start with, we're all individuals and we all think and feel different. We all have different goals in life and expect different things from it. So do the members in our classes. Some people come to the gym because they were told to do so, others are there to loose weight, some would like to get in shape, or to recover from injuries or maybe just to socialize with others.
And all these people, with different goals, thoughts and feelings, come to our classes.
What do they expect from me, or from other instructors? Wow, that's hard.... every single person expects something different from an instructor. Can I answer to all of that? Mmmm probably not, but I can give it a try. It's hard to satisfy everyone for 100%. Because if we do so, we forget about ourselves and after a while we get lost and won't be able to satisfy others at all. So don't even think of trying to keep everybody happy. Find the right way in between.
Get to know the people in your classes. Find out why they are coming to your classes, because when you know, you can help them to make it much more pleasant for them to keep coming back and maybe bring friends with them. Why should we push a person to lift more weights if someone's just there to have fun and just wants to be entertained. Safe that energy for the person who told you he/she wants to be stronger or fitter. Figure it out ... go the extra mile and stay after class, be at the gym early talk to your people.....
And participants, don't be shy to come up to your instructor, because they are always there for you, even when they seem busy. We are also only human :-), have one head with 2 eyes only. We might miss something, but we do not do it on purpose.
How did I get to this subject? Roel .... thanks!

Up to you
In addittion to a couple of posts ago:
You will never solve your problems by getting other people to change. The way to move beyond whatever is holding you back is to make positive changes within yourself.
The problem is not the particular situation you are in. The problem is the way you interpret and relate to that situation.
The problem is not the way you are treated by others. The problem is the way you allow the actions of others to affect you.
The problem is not what has happened in the past. The problem is that you're letting it continue to hold you back.
Take complete responsibility for a problem, and suddenly you are ninety percent of the distance toward solving it. For when you truly take responsibility, you gain real and powerful control.
Fully accept that it is up to you to get where you choose to go. And you'll find everything necessary to make it so. R. Marston

Busy week
What a week. Teaching 5 BA classes, 5 BP classes, 1 BC class and a couple of 15 mins Abdominal trainings. Let me tell you .. I'm tired, as my work at the airport is going on too. Some social stuff in between, birthdays, parents visit and best of all: a relaxing day on friday in a Wellness Center in Bleiswijk with one of my best friends. That was a good break before Saturday's launch. Oh and before I forget, I bought a new car this week. Not a new new car, but for me it's new. I get it by the end of this week and I'm really excited. I also heard we get a Starbucks at the Airport ..... yesssss... can't wait for a Vanilla Latte :-) Don't have a lot of time to write at this time as I actually was in the middle of a assessment tape and I need to go to work in 15 mins. No early shift today, I was already glad they were so kind to adjust my late shift to a day shift so I can teach my classes tonight. I just love my monday classes. People are excited, working really hard... there's Monday BODYATTACK fire in the studio!
I'm off to work... see ya!
I'm off to work... see ya!

Live Your Passion
What are you passionate about?
Dare to express and expand that passion in everything you do. Stand back and look at your life from a distance, as an objective observer. What you'll see is a pattern, a common thread running through all the various aspects of all that you have done. That common thread is connected to a passion living deep inside of you. The more fully you allow that passion to flow from you, the more richness your life will know. The more readily you admit and express that passion to yourself and to the world, the more fulfilling your moments will be. Keeping it hidden and suppressed will only lead to pain and regret.
There is a passion in you that is constantly pushing to see the light of day. Let it out and let it grow. That passion is a unique and precious gift that you have to offer to life. Give it freely, with vigor, with courage, with love, and let all truly experience its special value. Ralph Marston
Guess what my passion is? :-)

Learning choreo
What have I been doing lately? Learning choreo. . .
BP I'm fininshed just Cool down and Abs which I still need to do. BA is done as well. track 8,9 and cooldown still to go. BB full thing to do yet, for BC as well. It's more difficult to learn those for as I do not have my own classes to teach so it's hard to keep memorizing when you don't do it a lot. At the launch I will be joining in for BC as otherwise my collegue will be there on her own. I will try to do at least three tracks with her, but I would need to know all the kata's as well on the other tracks. Mmmmm still a lot of work to do untill next week's launch. It'll be a lot of fun .....
How to learn the choreo? Well that's probably different for each person. BP I'll learn just easily, lying down, sitting outside in the sun, driving in my car (be aware, crazy girl in town), on my way the work sitting in the bus. When I know most of it, I watch the DVD workshops and also the full DVD just to hear what the instructos on the DVD are doing saying performing etc.
For BA it's completely different for me, I start with the DVD, make notes on my choreo and then again I start learning with my Ipod and the choreo notes. I also have to make the moves, just to get the feeling, so my fourniture has to move and I use all the space I have in my living to do BA. I apologize to my neighbours for that :-). BC is a combination of BA and BP. I need defenitely need the DVD for all the kata's. BB I think is one hell of job... I love the program but learning the choreo takes me days and days. I'm only able to do it with the DVD. It's so hard to learn.
Anyfurther ... the only music I listen to around quarterly time is LM music. My ipod is always with me, just ike my phone..... I sort of panic when I don't have it with me. It's next to my bed and some times when I wake up in the middle of the night I think of a choreo, but I can't fully remember ... I need to listen to the music, get the notes or else I won't fall asleep anymore. Call me crazy... I know Í am.... there's nothing I can change about that... sorry. I'm glad I like most of the music which is used in the program's or else this would be an awfull job to do.
Last weekend and the weekend before that I have been assisting and BP module training. It was great to do and I've learned a lot from it too. So many different people doing the training. Some love it, some had to go because the club made them. It's nice to see how the program starts to grow on people already in a week. Doing the Hongi, the challenge, learning the five key elements. It's so nice to see it's same all over the world. LM is like an international language. I love it!!! I'm so glad the talked me into teaching, it's become a part of my life and it's an awesome thing to do.
Love what you do in life or you miss out on it!

Only 24 hours. . .
. . . in 1 day. Sometimes that just isn't enough. Since my last post I have been very busy, that I was glad to read my email. That's just about all I did behind the computer. Well what have I been up to ... uuuhh..... mostly Les Mills, teaching and some work. So most of it: all fun things.
Let's see... where to start.
18-20 may we had our quarterly in Nieuwegein. For me quite long days. For example:
18 May
04.15 wake up,
05.30 early shift at KLM,
12.00 off to Nieuwegein for the quarterly for assessment, and masterclasses. (did BC and BS)
18.00 off to dinner with the family as it's my mom's 60th birthday
01.00 time to go to bed
19 May
07.00 wake up.
09.00 Workshop BP
10.15 Masterclass BP
11.30 Workshop + Masterclass BB
13.15 Assessment BC
14.30 Assessment BP
15.45 Workshop BA
17.00 Masterclass BA
Afterwards I always try to help out with handing out the choreo's and DVD to the instructors,, so it was about 20.00 when I got home. Deng .. still have to put my stuffs away, do laundry etc
20 May
04.45 wake up
06.00 work at KLM
12.30 off to Nieuwegein
assessment BP and BA and I joind BS (I'm really starting to like BS)
21 May again early shift at KLM, teach in the evening, prepare for BB demo the next day in Zeist.
22 May whole day in Zeist for BB demo's, which was a lot of fun. Then teach teach in the evening BA and joined BB since I was in BB mood after this day anyways :-)
Wednesday... no work, no teaching, but assessment tapes and a household that needed to be done. Mmmmm ended up learning new tracks, doing some assessment and enjoyed the great weather.
Thursday, Again superearly shift and teaching.. ohhh deng I just love BA and BP. It's so much fun to see how excited people in the classes get with BA! Thursday was so much fun again.
Some where in between I still try to talk to my friends. So somehow even when I'm home early I always end up going to bed too late as I'm talking on the phone and forgetting all about the time. Well, saturday work and off to quarterly in Roosendaal. Again for BP and BA and again joined the BS, to kill time, as it was in between BP and BA. Sunday work and then went to a friend of mine in Veenendaal. I went together with another friend, who lives pretty close to me. So we drove together. We actually had a relaxing afternoon, chatted, snacked, watched Grease (sang along :-), Bridget jones, the edge of reason and an episode of Greys Anatomy. Quite hard for me to sit down whole afternoon :-) But we had a great time. We used to swim together on the National Team. None of us is swimming anymore. One of us is still a synchrocoach but 2 of us (and I'm 1 of those), can hardly remember the smell of chlorine :-) Again home too late :-)
Well that's just about my week almost. Yesterday was a holiday, so the gym was closed in the evening. I organized an extra BA workout since there wouldn't have been BA that day otherwise. It was great. So many people came, and from the vibes in the studio and the feedback of the people... they all had a great time... and ..... so did I!!!!! Thanks you guys! After that unfortunately I had to go work. Late shift ...... mmm..... people at work already asked me whether I was lost... since I hardly ever work late shifts :-) Try to be more up to date with my blog.....sorry

In a positive way
I just read this and I think it adds up to yesterday's post on making choices:
How do you keep yourself positive when the people around you are so negative? How can you maintain a positive approach when the situations and events around you are so troublesome?
A sincerely positive attitude is not a reaction to the way things are. Rather, it is an expression of the way you choose for things to be. Being positive is not an unrealistic or naive view of a negative world. It provides you with a solid foundation for making real improvements in the world and creating meaningful value. Being positively focused enables you to see, and to make the most of, opportunities that would otherwise be invisible. Being positive gives you the energy to move forward no matter what the obstacles may be. When you focus on the positive aspects of a situation, there will be plenty of people who disagree with you. But that is their problem, not yours. Look beyond those who argue for defeat, and find the path to victory. Whatever the current situation may be, you can always choose a positive way forward.

Life is all about...
... making choices.
Today I was talking to someone and the person was amazed that I had so much time to do sports and go to the gym. She said she never has time to do that. I'm not suprised about that anymore. It's something I hear very often nowadays. Everybody is busy with everything and so many people say: I don't have time. I think that's bull....
You can choose a lot of things you do in life. One of the choices I make is going to gym, teaching classes and enjoy that very much. But everybody can make that choice. A choice is something you prefer to do above something else. There's no right or no wrong, it's just something you like to do. An excuse which is made very often by people when they want to end their membership of the gym is: I do not have time to go to gym. But somehow these people know exactly what's on TV tonight, have seen every movie and know all about the newest commercials. Good for you, but don't come to me and complain you often feel tired, you're in bad shape, you've gained weight and other stuff like that. You choose not to go the gym but to stay home and watch TV instead. I know not every single person in this world loves sports as much as I do, but I hope everybody loves his/her life as much as I do and would like to enjoy it as long as possible. A healthy way of living will help you to enjoy your life longer. Just a work out for at least 30 mins a day would do good already. That doesn't mean go to the gym everyday. It means take a walk or ride your bike instead of taking the car. Take stairs instead of the elevator. Walk up to a person at work instead of making a phonecall to a person just 2 doors away from you. Be the one who gets the coffee, instead of the one being served. Small things like that will already help you. It's again the choice you and only you can make. I do not want to talk everyone into going to the gym, but I hope more people would like to make the choice to find some time to get up and move.
Take care.

Just a note
Tuesday went all great at Fitness365. The gym still isn't completely finsihed, but good to start with groupfitness. I had the honour to kick off with BA! There where 10 people in class, and it was 50/50 men/women. For all of them it was their first BA experience, and from what I have heard, they enjoyed it a lot. With BB there where only 3 people, and it almost felt like a personal training session. Still a ot of things have to be finished at the club, the lockerrooms, showers, reception, the lounge area. From what I hear it's starts to look better everyday. Keep you posted about this.
Yesterday's BA class was especially awesome. In BP people are not as outgoing as in BA. It's different and I love it too. Was able to do some good coaching and help people to improve their techniques. It's so good to see people respond when you are trying to help them get more out of their workout. In BA people were all excited, happy, having fun and working their butt's off! Cool. I was pretty tired when I started teaching at 6.30pm, as I had night shift and only slept for 4,5 hours. But once I started with BP music it just woke me up, and then ofcourse BA, I felt like I could go 4 ever. It's so cool when people are working hard and still have fun, that gives me heaps of energy and the people in class feel that as well, so they give energy in return to me too. It's like a circle. That's why it's so important that you feel good as an instructor, that you love what you're doing and ofcourse you know what you're doing. If you don't like it, you'd better quit. People around you will feel it and you will loose the important magic.
After both classes, I stayed for a bit and chatted with a couple of members.Then I had to go home and get to work. It was very busy. Lots of rebookings that needed to be done, due delayed flights. But time went by fast and since I had so much energy in me.... sleeping wouldn't have been an option yesterdaynight. I went to bed at 07.00 am this morning and woke up at 11.00. Had beakfast and then started to fix uo my balcony. Yesterday I bought a bunch of flowers and plants to make the place a bit nicer. I have been spending so much time outside, since the weather has been so good the past couple of weeks, so I decided it was time to cheer it up a bit. I'm not much of a gardener, but it looks okay now.

I have been spending so much time outside, since the weather has been so good the past couple of weeks, so I decided it was time to cheer it up a bit. I'm not much of a gardener, but it looks okay now.

Fitness 365
Today is the very first day Fitness 365 is open. It's a completely new gym in Amsterdam Z.O. right next to the highway. Easy to reach, lots of parking space. Not everything is finished yet, but it's ready to open. We have had several meetings already and I know it's going to be great working there. I'm going to teach BP & BA on Tuesday evenings. At the moment the BP stuff has not arrived yet, so actually I was only teaching BA tonight. This afternoon Daniel called me and asked me if I could do the BB after my BA as the girl who's actually going to do it, had a family emergency. Uuhhh.... Since I still do not have my own BB class and hadn't paid much attention to BB anymore and the last time I did BB was 8 weeks ago ... deng ... Glad I had the day off today, so guess what I have been doing this whole afternoon .... BB choreo. But all is going to be ok. It'll be quite a challenge tonight. Tomorrow morning the BP stuff arrives, so from next week on, I will be teaching BP as well. If you wanna see some more of Fitness365 take a look here. I will tell you later how it was tonight. I hope I will get some people for the classes tonight. I really do not know, as it's a completely new gym and people will still have to find their way. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
This morning I already did BP class in Hoofddorp. I was glad to be moving again, as the past four days I haven't done a lot. I only took my bike to work and did 2 short trips on skeelers in the evening on Sunday and Monday.
Yesterday it was Queensday but I was so tired I fell asleep in the afternoon when I got home. I started working at 5.30 and got up at 4.15. Not funny, since I went to bed too late the day before. Queensday is always a lot fun, festivities everywhere, free amrkets, kids selling their toys and other junk. And then ofcourse they buy new junk with the money they just made haha. On Saturday I went to Leiden and spent to afternoon on the motorboat of a friend of mine and I did the same thing on Friday, but then I went to the boat of my parents. All those days I had early shifts, so I could enjoy the sun in the afternoon. I still love my job ... hahaha, actually I love both my jobs!!!
Talk to you later and please keep your fingers crossed tonight for me!

Another monday
Wow, this weekend was great. Beautiful weather, out on the water. Enjoyed the sun, it almost felt like a holiday. Deng....too bad I got back in this world at 5.30 am this morning. That's when the unpleasant beep of my alarm woke me up. I decided to take my bike to work as the busdrivers are on strike today between 09.00 and 16.00, and parking with a 7.00am shift is quite difficult. Taking the bus to work would mean there's no way back untill 16.00 and since my shift ends at 13.30 I thought I might as well hop on my bike. Had this awesome, but painfull sliding on my bike when I got to the airport and wanted to make a turn. Not funny, as my steer got loose and didn't work anymore. Luckily I was close to the place where I can put my bike, and luckily I wasn't hit by a car. My dear daddy hopped on his bike later in the morning and fixed my steer, so I could ride my bike home. That was quite an experience at 6.30 in the morning.
Tonight it's LM time again. It has been a while since my last monday class. Due Easter and my holiday my last monday classes were 3 weeks ago ..... I'm looking forward to it again. Somehow monday is always special. It really feels like my monday :-), even though I don't teach all the classes. People are always excited in BA very outgoing, yelling, ding all the fun stuff. It's easy to get them to work hard. Also for BP, when we do team-teach. So I'm all ready for tonight.
BE UNSTOPPABLE & LIFT WAY BEYOND YOUR LIMITS

Last day
Wow, this week went by fast. We're back in Lisbon. We had a good time in Setubal. Marco and his friends showed us all around the city, we went to a winery, had a nice drive along the coast with beautyful views on the city, saw castles (castelo). We also enjoyed our rest next to the swimmingpool in the hotel. Had great dinners, tried local dishes, took the ferry .. wow can hardly think of what we all did these past couple of days.
Now we are back in Lisbon enjoying our last day. This morning a quick stop at the aquaduct, which was beautyfull and the rest of the day we sat in sun, enjoying our coffees, ice creams and all other drinks ..... and ofcourse try the get a bit of a tan ... eheh, that's always something I like working on.
All I can say ... I had an awesome time here in Portugal. I know I will get back here, but now it's time to go.
