Category — Great Deals

Wouldn’t it be awesome to travel to exotic locations and spend your days on sun-drenched beaches? Have access to world-class resorts and live like the rich and famous? Maybe teach a class or two during the day, just to keep your shape and prevent getting too spoilt? What if I told you that you can?

Okay, maybe not forever, and maybe not without a few tradeoffs. However, there is an organization that places fitness instructors and personal trainers at some of the top destinations in Mexico and the Caribbean. The deal? You, the instructor, agree to teach a class, sometimes two per day, in your specialty. Opportunities are available in general group fitness, indoor cycling, yoga, pilates, aqua, even tennis pros and chiropractors! In exchange, you get a full week stay at a top-notch resort for you and a guest, and, in some cases, your family. The website that arranges the bookings — fitnessprotravel.com — takes a fee for making the arrangement that I find very reasonable. I’ll be making my reservation as soon as my husband and I can agree whether to go to Brazil or Curacao…

Check it out! Even if you aren’t interested in travelling, the Fitness Pro Travel website has social networking tools for fitness instructors that provide opportunities for education, publicity, getting to know others in the field and more. Give it a look: fitnessprotravel.com

Note (5-15-09): The crossed out links have been fixed, and I double checked — all of these links work! Enjoy your music!

Happy Brithday to me, thanks to Masterbeat.com! I just peeked in my email and discovered that they gave me a birthday present — a credit for a free music download! I used it to buy

Akon – Beautiful (Sted E & Hybrid Heights Dub Mix)  

which I found on the

MasterBeat Q1 2009 Top Remixes  list.

Good stuff!

If you don’t have a Masterbeat account, I highly recommend you get one. Especially if your birthday is coming up! I’m jus’ sayin’….

So, welcome to a new look for the GroupFitPower site. Hopefully, you’ll find this new format as great an improvement as I do. It’s cleaner, it’s easier, and it just feels better!

This new addition will allow me to share exclusive specials and great deals with all of you!  We have also added a few other advertisers. I hope you’ll welcome them too, as they’ll help us keep the lights on here at Gfp.
