Floor instructors are trained to teach all of the following: Cardio, Box, Step, Group Strength, Zumba, Super Sircuit, and Core. Tryouts are held every fall semester, consisting of a 2-tiered audition process. Level 1 participants take a class led by a staff instructor and are evaluated on their performance. Successful candidates move on to Level 2 where they teach a micro-fitness class to a small group of peers and are evaluated on their teaching abilities. Individuals who pass Level 2 are admitted to the Group Fitness training program. *Visit the Tryouts page to sign-up for Floor Tryouts.*
Tryouts are scheduled on average once per year. This consists of a 2-tier system where applicants participate in a cycle class led by an instructor and are evaluated on their performance. Successful candidates move into an audition where they teach a sample class to each other.
