Being confident and maturing as a fitness instructor. With having minimal experience in leading group fitness classes, I came into Green Hills not knowing how to lead a class. As time went by I learned how to speak up, cue exercises, and program routines.

Don't be afraid to ask questions, be open minded of your internship and get to know the clients/individuals on a personal level.
