Are you R.I.P.P.E.D?

I recently attended instructor certification for R.I.P.P.E.D hosted by Gold's Gym, Lisa Roth, and Vince Valerio. It was a 1-day session that would consist of a Master Class followed by education in each component (Resistance, Interval, Power, Plyometrics, Endurance, and Diet). We learned technique and tips for each section. We finished the day with a multiple choice exam.



Initially I registered to gain some needed continuing education credit for my Personal Trainer and Group Exercise certifications. After taking the master class, I really liked the format. The tagline for RIPPED is "one stop body shock" and I absolutely agree! The 1-hour format incorporated full body weights, endurance cardio, and intervals.

Reflecting on the training session, I still don't see myself teaching the class yet BUT I can see how I can incorporate some components into the classes I already teach. I also think I may have found another class to fit into my workout routine!
