Physical Fitness

Creating a consistent and well-structured class is essential for ensuring a positive client experience and maximizing the effectiveness of each workout. As a trainer, your role is to guide clients through a challenging, safe, and engaging session. Below are the recommended guidelines for structuring your Fit Buddha Fitness classes.

1. Class Duration

  • Total Time: Classes should typically last 40-50 minutes.
  • Ensure that you manage time effectively so that all exercises are completed within the allocated time.

2. Warm-Up (2-3 minutes)

  • Start each class with a move that engages the entire body and warms them up for the workout to come.
  • Focus on dynamic movements that increase blood flow and activate key muscle groups.
  • Keep this section short but effective, avoiding intense exercises that could fatigue clients before the main workout.

3. Main Workout Structure (40-45 minutes)

a. Segmentation of Exercises

  • Each class should be divided into key segments targeting different areas of the body:
    • Core: Begin by focusing on core stabilization exercises like planks, wheelbarrow, or crunches. The core is essential for stabilizing the body and preventing injury.
    • Lower Body: Follow with exercises targeting the legs and glutes, such as lunges, squats, skating, or side kicks.
    • Upper Body: Incorporate upper-body exercises such as arm presses, push-ups, or bicep curls to work shoulders, arms, and chest.
    • Full Body Integration: End with movements that combine multiple muscle groups, ensuring a full-body challenge (e.g., bear plank, scrambled eggs).

b. Timing and Transitions

  • Exercise Duration: Each exercise should last between 1-2 minutes, with slower, controlled movements. Clients should be reminded to focus on form, core engagement, and breathing.
  • Smooth Transitions: Keep transitions between exercises smooth and deliberate. Provide clear verbal cues to help clients shift from one exercise to the next. Avoid rushed transitions that can disrupt the flow of the class or increase the risk of injury.

c. Progressive Intensity

  • Gradually increase the intensity of exercises as the class progresses. Start with foundational movements and work towards more challenging ones, ensuring that the final 10-15 minutes are the most intense.
  • Offer modifications for clients at different fitness levels, providing options for both progression and regression depending on their needs.

d. Encourage Mindful Movement

  • Throughout the class, remind clients to move slowly, engaging their muscles through the full range of motion.
  • Constantly emphasize the importance of maintaining proper form and alignment to avoid injury.

4. Music and Tempo

  • The music you play should complement the flow of the class. Use upbeat tracks to energize clients during intense segments and softer, more relaxed music during warm-up and cool-down.
  • Match the tempo of the music to the pace of the exercises, ensuring that clients can maintain control and form throughout the session.

5. Client Engagement and Motivation

  • Throughout the class, maintain a positive and motivating attitude. Offer encouragement, corrections, and praise to keep clients engaged.
  • Walk around the room to offer hands-on adjustments (if appropriate) or verbal corrections to help clients achieve proper form.
  • Personalize your interaction with clients, calling out names for encouragement or offering one-on-one advice during transitions.

6. Modifications and Variations

  • Provide modifications for clients of varying fitness levels. For example, offer a lighter spring load or a reduced range of motion for beginners or those with injuries.
  • At the same time, offer progressions to more advanced clients who want an extra challenge, such as increasing the resistance or adding a more dynamic movement.

7. Final Client Check-In

  • At the end of each class, check in with clients and ask for feedback. Encourage them to ask questions or discuss any issues they encountered during the session.
  • Remind clients of the importance of hydration and recovery after the workout and offer any additional tips for maintaining progress between sessions.

8. Class Energy and Pacing

  • Keep the energy level of the class consistent and engaging. As the instructor, your enthusiasm sets the tone for the entire session.
  • Make sure the pacing allows clients to challenge themselves but not rush through exercises. Lagree is built on slow, controlled movement, so encourage clients to focus on muscle engagement rather than speed.

9. Closing and Reflection

  • End the class on a positive note by thanking clients for attending and encouraging them to reflect on their progress.
  • Promote upcoming classes, workshops, or events to foster a sense of community within the studio.

By following this structure, you’ll ensure that each class flows smoothly, challenges clients at all levels, and delivers an effective, safe workout. Your goal is to help clients leave feeling accomplished and motivated to return for their next session!
