Les Mills Body Jam Philippines Instructors Batch 2008

March 30, 2008 | By TheBachelorGirl In Fitness Frenzy |

The one sure fire thing that will make me go to the gym is the Body Jam class at Fitness First. I LOVE BODY JAM!!!

Body Jam is a cardiovascular workout that focuses on interspersing Latin moves with hip-hop moves, with all other dance genres thrown in. You get to groove to chart topping hits even before they hit the airwaves. Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, Rhianna and Christina Aguilera are just some of the few who lend their voices to the dance tracks.

Body Jam is a workout that is designed by the Les Mills team that’s based in New Zealand. This workout, aside from the other Les Mills Programs, are featured in all the Fitness First branches worldwide.

The Body Jam instructors here in the Philippines are, undoubtedly, some of the best in the world. Moreover, Body Jam Philippines head, Arnold Warren, is constantly called upon to train other Body Jam instructors in the Asian region.

Body Jam Instructor Noelle de GuzmanOn 27 March 2008, I was fortunate to attend the 10am Body Jam class at Fitness First Metro East. The regular Body Jam instructor was absent, and there to take her place was Noelle de Guzman, who was doing a solo class for the first time.

I initially noted Noelle de Guzman as a fellow Fitness First member Body Jam aficionado. When I learned that she was a runner up in the Body Jam tryouts in 2006, I expressed my hopes to Body Jam head Arnold Warren that she’ll be chosen next time. I pointed out that her stamina and adherence to choreography will surely make her an excellent Body Jam instructor.

Noelle did a fantastic job on her first solo effort and I was very happy to be there for her world debut. I also appreciated the fact that she put together a dance workout outfit, highlighted by a subtly gold mesh top and leopard print dangling earrings.

Congratulations also to the other Body Jam Batch 2008 instructors!
