Is your Group Exercise Instructor on the chubby side?
Dear DM,
How is it that my Bodyjam Instructor at my gym is slightly on the chubby side? Then there was another Bodypump instructor (she’s no longer in the country now) who looked like a walking pork chop. With the amount of exercise they get (multiple classes per day), shouldn’t they have a fantastic body? That makes me wonder… am I wasting my time with these classes?

Things I Can’t Do Without As A Fitness Enthusiast
Just like how my pet Rottweiler, Troy, simply cannot be separated from his favourite toy…
He goes EVERYWHERE with it – even when I give him his bath or take him out!
So just like Troy, I too, have a few items that I almost cannot do without when I’m at the gym for my workout. Here they are, in no particular order:
Chewing Gum
My Ipod
My Harbinger washable leather workout gloves
And last but not least…
My Watch
Real Personal Trainers wear REAL watches ;), and not just Heart Rate monitors to ‘make up’ for their lack of exercise.
I also carry a bottle of water with me at ALL TIMES (not pictured here).
Don’t get me wrong – it’s not that I wouldn’t be able to carry on with my workout without the above, but I certainly would feel very different and ‘out of place’ if I were to forget any one of them.
Now it’s your turn - what are some of the things YOU just HAVE to bring along with you when you work out? A favourite towel? Your mobile phone? An MP3 player? Do share!
P.S. – And stay tuned for my write-up coming soon – “Things I can’t do without as a Personal Trainer” (would you believe it even includes an eyeliner pencil? Yes you read correctly!) Subscribe to my newsletter to be notified when its up!

Yoga Zone goes Bust?
Okay, so this confirms everything I’ve been hearing so far, and the hunch I’ve had for the past few weeks. Shortage of staff, trainers, cleaners.. and my friends who weren’t getting their salaries on time…
Also, my recent post on a faulty website was referring to them as well. Nothing to hide now since the cat is out of the bag. [click to continue...]
