According to Melissa Shippy, The Houstonian Club’s Group Exercise Director, not only will attendees of the CEC Conference be able to tap into that knowledge, it will also allow The Houstonian Club instructors to contribute to the exercise community as a whole.
“Attending a conference that provides CECs is a great way to get all of the certification requirements in one weekend, network with fellow instructors and trainers, and get new ideas to keep classes and workouts fresh and innovative,” said Shippy.
The Houstonian Club offers over 180 group exercise classes each week, making it a highly utilized program and a priority for the members-only club. “We believe it is essential to keep our classes fresh, interesting, innovative, and fun,” said Shippy. “Our members count on us to provide classes and instructors that challenge them and help them maintain their physical and mental health.
