• VACATION with ease in a tropical paradise instead of planning a trip or organizing a retreat for yourself or loved ones. If you sign up for a teaching opportunity with an organization like Fit Bodies Inc., all the groundwork, such as hotel reservations and trip detail provisions, is handled for you.

• ENJOY stunning resort settings, luxury all-inclusive accommodations, world-class amenities, unsurpassed personal service and limitless gourmet fare for you and your companions. Wake up and walk out of your luxury suite right onto the beach or poolside classroom. 

• SAVE thousands of dollars by traveling for a fraction of the normal cost. Your all-inclusive luxury accommodations at five-star resorts are provided in exchange for one or two classes taught each day.

• IMPROVE your skills as an instructor by working with a wide variety of experience levels, ages, languages and physical abilities. And these clients have yet to hear your stories! Vacations bring out the best in people. Experience smiles instead of stress and open-minded attitudes instead of “I can’t do that!” mentalities.

• INSPIRE, enhance and change the lives of resort guests by sharing the gift of fitness, health and wellness. Guests have the confidence to join classes and fitness experiences even more when they are on vacation, and are excited to find an experienced, educated professional leading the workout.

• RECHARGE your fitness batteries and use the free time you don’t have at home to spark your creativity, relax your body, and nourish your mind and soul.

• REACH celebrity status, make new connections and create lifelong memories while simply doing what you love. Take advantage of being the fitness authority during your stay. Guests are eager to learn how they can feel and look as good as you!

• ESCAPE the “everyday” schedule. Teach on the beach or poolside rather than within the same four walls. Searching for shade from sun, level sand or adequate space also can serve as a fun challenge as you adapt to your vacation surroundings. Use the sound of waves crashing instead of your typical speakers. Step out of your comfort zone, get creative and expand your horizons.

• BECOME an international presenter (when you travel outside the country). You will gain this new accolade after your very first class—an exciting addition to your fitness resumé.
• NETWORK with organizations, other guests, other fitness professionals and potential new clients. You will have the opportunity to connect with the resort where you’re teaching and you will meet people from all walks of life.
