Chalene's class, My interview, crazy week!
Yesterday I went to college grove and took a road trip from there in Able's excursion to the OC! Team extreme crashed Chalene's class and did round 37 right from the source!
Her class is crazy and Chalene is so CRAZY! She has the best personality, she is also very welcoming and genuine I loved it! She talked to me about my audition the next day and gave me some really great pointers on making an excellent first impression and how to overcome first performance fears! It was really awesome!
We stayed for her Hip Hop Hustle class and that was very foreign to me. I really can't dance, I never have been able to, and probably never will but hey, it was fun and it was taught by THE chalene!
She says hilarious stuff while teaching too, my favorite was the "I'm not ok with the lack of passion in your booty pump." comment she made haha. She also taught up how to give a big booty illusion using our elbows. Sounds crazy I know, but it works!
After that our team decided we deserved a good lunch and went to cheesecake factory. It was really, good! We headed back and it was kind of a slow car ride back home, we were all tired from working out and eating way too much food!
This morning I had planned on going to work but I was tired and wanted to practice and practice what I was going to say before and after teaching. After kinda lounging around and practicing I headed to rancho bernardo for my interview. I met Christina, which is an AMAZING manager from what I've seen so far. Very effective and organized communicator and she did her best to make sure I understand the hiring process including pay rates, benefits etc. I liked that she was so frank about the position. It takes a lot of time and hassle out of it!
She asked me to teach an imaginary class, and I chose round 35, the round I was certified on!
I basically did the warmup and the punches section and she stopped me. She gave some great feed back on mirroring the audience, and working into the crowd to improve teacher-student connection along with how to give an incentive to return the next week. It was a great learning experience!
The best part? She loved it! I'm to contact the services manager at that gym to take care of HR business, and next week or so she is going to give me some official 24hour protocol training, but after that I'll be an official 24hour fitness employee!
How cool is that? I got the job!!
Anyway, I'm about to head home from my office, it sounds like a night to celebrate with sushi with my favorite person, CLAUDIA!!!
