Now Posted! Healthy Lifestyle Principles and Foundations of Group Exercise Certifications – June 25th and 26th at Visser YMCA!

Hello Everyone,  I have posted a training for Healthy Lifestyle Principles and Foundations of Group Exercise Certification for our Association on the LCDC Y Exchange! 🙂  Dixie has graciously offered to let us hold this at the Visser Family Y – Thank you, Dixie!  The training will be on Thursday, June 25th from 5:30pm-9pm for HLP and on Friday, June 26th from 8:30am-5:30pm for FGE. Here are the details:

~All interested instructors must be CPR certified and upload a copy (or photo) of their certifications to LCDC prior to registering for HLP. HLP is a pre-requisite of FGE.
~Payment should be made AT THE TRAININGS by check made out to the YMCA of Greater Grand Rapids.
~Location on LCDC says GRYMCA, Lake Michigan Drive, but Visser YMCA is listed in the additional information category as the actual site for the training and certification.
~An ACE manual needs to be purchased and brought to the FGE training. The second edition and used on Amazon is fine rather than ordering it directly from ACE for cost savings. Please order it in advance and begin to studying. Some people do fail the exam if they do not have basic knowledge of exercise physiology and anatomy.
~Please register soon as it may fill quickly!
~Taking this training NOW allows you to use any Les Mills (or other certifications) cec’s towards the re-certification for FGE.
Here are the links to register
You MUST receive an email confirmation. If you do not receive confirmation, this means your registration is not complete.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.  Thank you so much – I am really looking forward to these trainings! Peace and blessings, Teri

So do you love kiddos? How about teaching for our Community Outreach group to an awesome group of kids at Cook Library in GR on Tuesday, July 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th from 10-11:30 am? It could be BODYCOMBAT, BODYATTACK, Zumba, Cardio, YOGA, BODYFLOW…. anything that will keep kids moving and holding their attention! 🙂

You will be paid for 2 hours AND if you work in our Community Outreach Group, they will pay for one Les Mills Certification of your choice! What a SWEET deal!
