With most things in life there are pros and cons. Below are some that I can think of. If you have more please leave your comments.
PROS:
- You get paid to workout
- Depending on where you work, you may even get a free membership to the club(s) where you are teaching for you and your family members.
- You are helping people in many ways
- They may never tell you.
- Helps to keep you motivated to exercise
- If you have a class to teach, people are depending on you, so you can't just skip the workout.
- Allows you to vary your workouts
- Example: Yoga one day, spinning another, Bodypump, etc...
- Something we should be telling our members anyway.
CONS:
- Getting Burned Out
- You get paid to workout, so why not workout 20 times per week?
- Sounds like a great idea until you realize that you are human and cannot put that much stress on your body.
- Teaching classes should be fun. When it's not fun, you may be burned out.
- We are role models, would we ever tell our participants that it's a good idea to workout 20 times per week? Of course not. If you are telling your members this...we need to talk.
- The Show Must Go On
- People depend on you to be there for class
- You got wasted the night before a class
- We are human, it happens. It's still not fun.
- You are sick and can't find a sub
- Sometimes you can push through.
- If you are really ill I say stay home, it's not worth it.
- The mic isn't working
- You have to scream for an hour
- You may have no mic for a few days or weeks
- The stereo quits working (no music)
- I hope you memorized your choreography and like to sing :-)
- The show must go on
