Well, it is time for me to explain all these facebook posts, tweets and DanceFIT Studio moving to the next level! We now offer our signature BalletFIT class via skype conference. Does it sound weird to you? It is not! In fact, it is remarkable what a great workout you get, personal corrections by your instructor, not to mention the convenience of working out from your own home.
How did this virtual concept evolve? Well, kind of selfishly....We all know the story....I have two children, run DanceFIT Studio primarily from home, drive 1 hour to Brookline to teach 1-3 classes and then drive 1 hour home. The days I can't teach I have my wonderful staff teaching their classes: Zumba, Hip Hop, Barre, Yoga, etc. I wish I could take their classes every night too. I want to teach more and I know my clients want more classes, but the scheduling issue is a nightmare with the need for babysitting and the long commute right at rush hour.
SOLUTION....live fitness classes via skype conference. I can allow up to 10 participants in a class and I have a huge monitor at home to see all of them working hard on their living room floors. So, this idea began selfishly, so I can teach more, but I found out that there is such a need for this. The DanceFIT community of parents and busy professionals are loving them. To be able to workout with a fitness and dance professional in the comfort of their home while the kids are sleeping is quite popular!
I am teaching two virtual classes a week in addition to my hours at DanceFIT Studio. I teach virtually Tuesdays at 8:30 PM and Thursday mornings bright and early at 6:15 AM. I have partnered with Tanya, the owner of Barre N9NE Studio in Danvers. Tanya is teaching her signature (and amazing) barre n9ne workout on Wednesday & Friday mornings at 6:15 AM. Stay tuned for more classes from both of us!
This is how it works. You register for a VIRTUAL class on DanceFIT Studio's mind body registration system. New clients will receive the promotion, buy 1 class, get 1 free.

Lazy Day Blues
Ugh! This weather is depressing! As I was just feeling frustrated about low DanceFIT attendance when it rains (we have had such large crowds the past few weeks!), my friend sent me an e-mail...Gina, can you please blog about how to be motivated to workout when the weather is terrible?
Why are we so accustomed to lounging on the couch during dreary weather? Is it a comfort thing? Does it really affect us that much? What can you do to boost out of those blues!? What happened to our "child-like" excitement of splashing in puddles and running in the rain?!
A FEW MOTIVATING TIPS:
1) E-mail or call a friend to go workout with you after work. Peer motivation
2) Pre-register yourself for a class! Once you commit, you commit :)
3) Remind yourself why you are working out. To look & feel beautiful & energized, of course!
4) Plan a creative and new post-workout healthy snack. (I love natural peanut butter on a banana or apple. Perfect amount of sweet & salty and good protein.)
5) Remind yourself how great you feel when you stay committed to your fitness routine! One night off can result in loss of fitness momentum.
6) I like this little challenge....Every rainy or gross day, commit to trying a new fitness class that day. Go to something a little bit out of your comfort zone. Challenging new muscles & performing new movements will keep your body in perfect physique!!!
7) My newest solution & responsible answer to these lazy day blues would be to enroll in a Virtual Barre class offered at www.dancefitstudio.com OR

Enjoy a well planned, unique, intense barre workout with me or Tanya :)
Don't let the puddles keep you on the couch!!!
