“BARRE BIZ” BEYOND 

THE BARRE BASICS: 

NO BARRE IS NECESSARY! 





This session introduces the trainer to how to successfully 

teach a basic Barre format without the use 

or necessity of a ballet bar. Many clubs are losing 

members to Barre studios. This session includes how 

to run a successful Barre program, and keep your 

members! Each trainer will walk away understanding

exercises that create core strength, improve flexibility 

and posture for all levels of students not dancers! You

tuck tighten and externally rotate the feet as it is causing 

many injuries to the low back in many students 

who have attended barre classes and nor do we over 

utilize the hip flexors. Beyond Barre is authentic, progressive

Additional $109 MANIA Attendees / $149 Non-Attendees 

Weight loss is identified as a leading reason why individuals aged 25 – 55 join health clubs. Yet, for those 

striving to lose weight, diet and exercise are viewed as traditional practices, but both generally involve 

less-than-enjoyable experiences. Although fitness professionals seek simple, time-efficient and accurate 

energy-balance solutions (i.e., calories in versus calories out), emerging research and trends point beyond 

individual factors to include environmental influencers. This course provides the knowledge and applicable 

skills on macronutrient structure and function to drive healthier dietary choices; quantitative and simpler 

qualitative strategies for effective weight loss; and easy-start environmental control strategies to deliver 

game-changing results, and turn clients into weight-loss champions. On-site theoretical exam administered. 

Additional $35 testing fee. Training Manual additional $24.95. SCW (5.0), AFAA (5.0), ACE (0.5), AEA (5.0),

according to fitness activity, sport participation, and 

living in a warm climate. Leave this session with practical 

types to help our clients improve their hydration for

music that turns a ride into a revelation! This workshop

mapping, showing you exactly what to look for in an 

indoor cycling song and how to breakdown and deliver 

that song for maximum impact. We’ll map 10 songs

back in a ride. As a parting gift, you’ll take home a list 

of 100 songs (yes, 100 songs!) from Schwinn’s Master 

Trainer team, mapped and ready to use.

3D MATRIX PERFORMANCE 

SERIES: BALANCE 

ESCALATION TRAINING 

with Pat McCloskey, DPT 

Balance must be studied and, more importantly, 

trained in motion – not in stillness! As fitness is accurately 

comprised of flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular 

endurance, balance training dramatically 

enhances each and every aspect of fitness, yet tends 

to be a forgotten area of focus. Balance training needs 

to be incorporated into all types of training – injury 

prevention, rehabilitation, and performance enhancement.

and how this allows one to better leverage and train 

balance in order to dramatically enhance the wellbeing 

of any patient/client.

METABOLIC TRAINING: 

DO WE REALLY NEED CARDIO? 


Trainers and our clients are obsessed with “Cardio,

exercise a form of cardio training? Resistance training, 

for instance, could be called cardio because heart 

rate increases and we burn a lot of calories. Let Mike 

Bracko take you down a path of enlightenment to 

discover the benefits of non-traditional “cardio” training 

and the benefits of alternative forms of exercise.
