When I saw Amelia Freer release the 10-day plan and the focus of the book, I thought this would be a good book to try. The mission is to introduce the reader to a healthy nutritional balance, rather than diets. It challenges how you think about food, forcing you to evaluate yourself and how you respond to food.

A day in the life of a tutor..
I absolutely love teaching, I have learnt something new from every group I have taught. For 10 years, being in the studio all day, music on, sharing a passion with an excited team of budding new students, starting their journey in their new career choice..

Ignoring the long lists of the dos and the don'ts..

It helps if you teach a mixture of branded classes but at the same time have the ability to be able to design a programme various types of class as it gives you opportunity to cover a variety of classes.
Here are my top ten tips to get on the ladder:
Visiting my local gym and travelling around the country I get depressed at the lack of understanding shown by many PTs and instructors when it comes to HITT.
