We know the power and inspiring energy that group fitness provides to our participants and the work and passion we, as individual instructors, put into creating and leading amazing experiences. But how do we get ourselves in the door, get POUND onto gym schedules and even make a full-time career in fitness? In this free workshop, Vice President of Group Fitness for Crunch Fitness, Marc Santa Maria, shares his thoughts on this topic, tapping into over 25 years of experience in the industry as an instructor, leader, and mentor.

Why is play fundamental to children’s development and what role does it have in adulthood? Play is a fun and positive tool for decreasing stress and aggression while also increasing creativity, imagination, self-awareness and self-acceptance, leadership and more. Join ICON Pia Thiemann, as we discuss ways and opportunities to create play in our everyday lives (for children and adults alike!) and the non-medicinal methods that guide behavior from an early age. Leave this course with tips and inspiration for introducing more PLAY into everything you do!
