POP Pilates Launch Party

Hey Guys! So I've been MIA for quite a bit, but I've been super busy with LIFE...all good things though! One of the biggest things going on for me is that I started teaching at 24 Hour Fitness! Wooo! It has been such a great experience so far. I absolutely love being a group fitness instructor. The satisfaction of changing people's lives by helping them become the best healthy version of themselves is like no other.

What is POP Pilates you ask? POP Pilates was created by YouTube sensation, Cassey Ho who is the creator of Blogilates. POP is a fusion of ab chiseling, total body defining moves choreographed to Top 40 Hits. It's an intense mat-based workout that challenges you to flow from one exercise to the next, developing a rock solid core, while leaving no muscle untouched. It's like a workout party for any fitness level.

Last weekend POP Pilates officially launched into 24 Hour Fitness's allover the nation. Isn't that crazy?! You can take this class alongside with Zumba, Turbo Kickbox, and Cycle classes! It's legit on the schedule. Look!

Check out all the cool signage in the gyms. There were posters (some had me on it!) and yoga mat stickers allover promoting the launch party. Me and many other POP instructors all over the nation hosted their own POP Parties on Saturday, Oct 17th. The gym was open to non-members, there was a free POP class, giveaways, and many photo ops. I had the opportunity to teach two back to back parties (I mean classes) in Pasadena!

This was my first POP Party!!! I taught at 24 Hour Fitness Active in Pasadena. The class was PACKED. Over 40 peeps! I'm so grateful for the instructor who stayed to take my class. As luck would have it my first song cut out, NBD just skipped to the next...then my mic died just as I was getting started! Christine (front left in white tank) ran to my rescue and literally replaced the batteries in the mic pack while it was still on my hip as I was still teaching. I love that GXI's look out for each other! Besides the minor speed bump, the class was great. There are always so many first timers. I had a raffle giveaway at both classes from Blogilates Designs that people went nuts for!

Here's my #poparmy round 2!!! I taught at Pasadena Super Sport right after. These guys did amazing as well! PACKED FULL over 40 peeps of all ages, all sizes, both boys & girls. That's what I love about POP, anyone can do it. They loved their giveaways as well. Isn't this the coolest selfie sticker?

When you find a workout you love it truly energizes you, as opposed to drain you. I did not feel tired until bedtime that day! I was so pumped up and ran off of the energy from all of my students. Thank you to everyone who came out to support POP and try something new!

I'm sooo EXCITED POP Pilates has officially launched! We're finally bringing the YouTube workout videos to a group fitness class setting! How cool?! Ask your local 24 Hour Fitness if they have POP Pilates on the schedule. It is rapidly growing as more and more of our instructors are becoming certified. If you're ever in Pasadena, CA on Saturday come take my class (tIme and location below)! If you are not a member of 24 be sure to sign up for a guest pass, come early, show ID, and BYOM (bring your own mat). Hope to see you!

In LOVE & Sweat,
