5...4....3....2....1....LAUNCH!!!

This morning marked the beginning of the 2-week launch period at Fitness Works. What is launch, you say? Well, every quarter group fitness trainers (that's me!) get new music and choreography for the program(s) they teach. Then about a month-ish later, we get to start doing the new stuff in our classes (aka LAUNCH). While many of the participants in the classes I team teach say that every class is new to them, there are a few that remember what we've done, and it's nice to have something new to show as an instructor.

Anyway, today is DAY 1 of launch. Lucky me, one of the classes I team in is offered bright and early at 5:15 am on Tuesdays. SO, I got to be a part of the very first class to launch, and it was my very first launch ever! Good times. And we had a new record high of 32 people in class today...10 more people than our previous record of 22. Awesome! We took lots of pics (to be posted later).

Because it was my first launch ever, I was super excited/nervous and had a really hard time sleeping last night. I woke up at 3 am freaking out thinking I overslept (not possible considering I have a special alarm set on my phone labeled "Gym Wake Up" set for 4:20 AM), and then I had 2 different nightmares. In one of them the Honda was stolen. This was bad news bears because my CD/DVD for BC39 (the latest release of BODYCOMBAT) was in the center console. In the other I excitedly invited people to come to launch, but it was 2 days after I was supposed to do launch with Cindy and Sarah. So I completely missed launch in my dream/nightmare and cried and cried and cried. I know, I'm crazy.

If there are any people out there in the blogosphere in the east valley area of Phoenix (or even Glendale now that there's a Fitness Works at the Agua Fria 101 and Camelback) who want to try group fitness, now is the best time! Everyone is doing the classes for the first time essentially! The launch period is long enough to allow you 3-5 times in each format, which is the recommended amount of time it takes to get used to the movement and feel comfortable. I have access to free passes, and there are all kinds of incentives for people who come to the gym for the first time. Just let me know and I can hook you up. Keep it real and stay with the fight!
