| LAUNCH???
What's that? |
| |
Well,
if you have been poking around the web site or talking
to people who have become regulars to Fitness Stylz, I
suppose that you have seen or heard the word "LAUNCH".
What's a LAUNCH? It's not like we're sending someone to
the moon... (Although you do leave with a feeling of flying
high!) LAUNCH is the term used to tell you that there
is something new coming to the group fitness portion of
Fitness Stylz . A LAUNCH can mean two things: |
| |
| PROGRAM
LAUNCH |
| A
PROGRAM LAUNCH is used to show a new program to the club
and is only used once unless there is a degree of change
to the program. Each of the Les Mills programs that we use
here at the club, BODYPUMP, BODYSTEP and BODYFLOW, had a
PROGRAM LAUNCH when they were introduced. This was the first
time that the members got to see the programs here at Fitness
Stylz. |
| |
| MUSIC
LAUNCH |
| Also
known as a RELEASE. Les Mills keeps it programs fresh and
exciting by rolling out a new music line-up 4 times a year.
Although the workout remains very structured and uses relatively
the same moves, the new music keeps the programs from becoming
monotonous. It's a very exciting time, as this is the first
time that the new music is heard by anyone in the club other
than the instructors. Les Mills has the ability to use music
by "actual artists", which is dynamically better
than an endless program of nothing but remakes of songs.
Remakes that don't even sound remotely close to what you
just heard on the radio. That brings up another point about
the excitement of the new music: Because the programs are
assembled in New Zealand and then rolled out to the rest
of the world, Les Mills has a tremendous supply of suggestions
and connections to what is happening in the international
music scene. You can often hear a smash hit before it charts.
A perfect example can be found with the latest BODYPUMP
release, in which two songs that I hadn't heard before were
used in TV commercials (Wendy's and Coke) just 3 weeks after
the music was released to the clubs. I heard them first
from Les Mills, but I believe that everybody can recognize
them now. For the most part, people like the same musical
hits all over the world. It's very exciting, and somehow
Les Mills really stays ahead of it. The most popular comment
heard after a MUSIC LAUNCH is "How do they keep finding
such exciting music?" |

| Fitness
Stylz uses the LAUNCHES as an opportunity to invite new
people to come in and see the excitement of the Les Mills
programs. But you don't have to wait for a LAUNCH to come
around. These programs are designed to be "new person
friendly," and you are encouraged to try them anytime.
Just be sure that you don't miss a LAUNCH, as you will be
missing a special time here at Fitness Stylz... prizes,
raffles, games and always a GREAT SHOW!!! |
