I believe the question was, &#8220;What is something that no one knows about you?&#8221; I answered that I would secretly love to teach BodyCombat. The Group X Manager approached me and here we are today.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>Why do you enjoy teaching? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I adore the connection with the members and being a part of their fitness journey, as well as being a part of their life. My participants seem to become extended family. I love helping people achieve their goals and hit their desired marks.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Which format is your passion? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BodyCombat is my spirit animal, in regards to workouts. I&#8217;ve done kickboxing workouts since college, and bringing that passion to others, well, there&#8217;s not really a way to describe it. The endorphins, the adrenaline rush, the feeling of accomplishment\u2026There&#8217;s nothing like it!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How would you describe your class experience? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, it is a karaoke bar where the music makes people jam out and forget they&#8217;re exercising. Other days, the choreography makes you think hard enough to focus on that. I think the unique nature lies in the fact that it always changes. The music, the drills, everything! Except the personality&#8230; I&#8217;m 100% in and committed each and every time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What are you currently working on to improve as an instructor?\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am always working on reading the class and bringing what is needed to motivate them. I can get lost in positive reinforcement, so I&#8217;m trying to loop in different teaching skills and motivating techniques for my classes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re happy to highlight one of our wonderful Group X Instructors, Megan!
