What are fitness professionals everywhere saying about Jamie G. and Cardio Salsa™?
"Jamie is the ultimate definition of ENERGY! As a professional in the fitness industry for many years and a Group Fitness Director I have to say that Jamie's workshops produce quality Salsa instructors, excellent choreography and the skills to teach fun, exciting, sweat dripping classes! The workshops are professional and fun, providing continuing education credits for instructors to take with them on their "Salsa" teaching journey. Jamie is awesome and I would recommend these workshops to any type of instructor looking for an edge in the business or looking to add some spunk in their classes! "
Teia Krupa, Group Fitness Director
“You are so awesome, Jamie. I am so excited about starting my classes, and it is all because of you!!!! Again, the classes, DVD, packet and resources you provided have been really, really helpful to me in my planning the choreography of my class. I am finally ready and feeling excited. All that you have provided me gave me that confidence. I have gone over the packet many times. I bought the Cardio Salsa™ DVD and have used that, as well as ordered the music you suggested.”
Char Hakes
“What I loved about Jamie's Cardio SalsaTM workshop was not just how much fun it was, how skilled she was as a presenter, or how much I came away with so that I could feel more confident in teaching it myself when I left. What I loved most was she encouraged & empowered us to free that "inner dancer" within all of us so we could experience that absolute pure joy of dance & movement! Everyone was encouraged to dance "like no one was watching" and feel the freedom to do so without scrutiny or ridicule. She is truly one of the best presenters I've ever taken from in my 10+ years of being an instructor.”
Lisa Wilcox
"I have not had that much fun ever at an aerobic workshop. I left Jamie's Cardio Salsa™ class so excited and energized; I've been talking about it for days. Jamie's knowledge and enthusiasm is contagious. Let's salsa!”
Dana Yager
“Jamie's class was easy to follow, her choreography tips easy to learn, her music energizing and most important it was FUN! Jamie's positive attitude and enthusiasm was contagious! I can see why her classes are packed.”
Debbie Scott
“I took the CardioSalsaTM workshop from Jamie, she was a fantastic instructor and made the class so much fun. The entire class was all dancing in synch in about 10 minutes (which is amazing)! Jamie's enthusiasm was contagious, and her warmth made everyone feel so comfortable, immediately. I was so impressed by her dance skills and how she can move. I asked my Spinning (tm) class if they would like to try this new class, and they are excited to start. Thank you, Jamie, for a wonderful experience that I will draw on constantly as I put my classes together.”
Char Hakes
“P.S. I am in shape as I run and lift daily, plus walk 4x/week and teach SpinningTM/toning twice a week, but I could definitely feel this wonderful workout for days after! What a great and fun exercise to learn.”
“You were awesome! It felt like I was at a fitness convention…except less chaotic.”
