Music Outside the Juke Box
Here is another outstanding contribution from Biray Alsac on a topic of great personal interest to me! Music plays a very large role in how our classes are received, so I know you will appreciate this great info from Biray!
Music Outside the JukeBox!
By Biray Alsac
It’s no secret – music can make or break any group fitness class. Without good tunes, members may tune out (or listen to their iPod while exercising to their own beat). So, instructors are always looking for new songs (or remix of old songs) that continue to engage and motivate participants.
With websites like iTunes, Napster and Pandora (a site that recommends new music based on songs you already like), there are endless opportunities to discover new material. But sometimes we don’t have time to search for new music or find different resources on the web. Read below to learn new ways to create your perfect soundtrack for class.

TSI Summit in NYC October 10-11, 2008
If you live in the New York Area and are interested in attending a conference this fall, the folks at Town Sports International are hosting the TSI Summit the weekend of October 10 & 11. I used to work for TSI, which owns NYSC, and I attended the Summit as an NYSC employee. It was a great learning experience and they had an excellent array of sessions. Although I haven’t been to a Summit in 5 years, I would still recommend it based on my previous experience. They’ll be offering opportunities to earn CEU’s for ACE, ACSM, AFAA, NASM, NCSF, NFPT, NSCA, and W.I.T.S. as well as Spinning® star points. Check out their website for registration and to see who’ll be speaking and what workshops are available: Summit 08.
