Thursday, 30 October 2008Imagine having the world’s most advanced fitness coach at your disposal. This coach customizes workouts based on your body structure and endurance and adjusts each exercise machine’s intensity based on your recent progression or regression. This coach monitors your energy level and range of motion continuously to ensure you are achieving your personal potential. Then the coach automatically compu tes your workout data to produce a progress report, including the number of calories you burned and 3-D anatomical diagrams to show which muscles you’ve worked and how successfully.
This is exactly the role of the CurvesSmart™ personal coaching system, a new technology pioneered by Curves that offers a precision designed workout, moment to moment feedback and progress reports to keep members motivated while they work out. Capital Commons Curves (co-owned by Michelle Hayes and Connie Sedlak) and Country Club Curves in Raleigh (owned by Connie Sedlak and her husband Paul) are two of the privileged clubs in the nation to feature the equipment upgrade.
"The CurvesSmart technology offers women the benefits of a highly skilled personal trainer without the expense," said Michelle Hayes, of Capital Commons Curves on Louisburg Road
Connie Sedlak, of the Country Club Curves on Six Forks and Wake Forest Road in Raleigh, explained, "It’s the world’s most advanced fitness training system. We expect our members to be thrilled with how this amazing workout will help them achieve their goals even faster. It’s easy to get started and fun to do."
A Curves member is issued a CurvesSmart ID Tag containing their personalized profile determined by a Curves staff member. The tag is electronically recognized by the monitor at each station, automatically retrieving the member’s profile to determine the specifications for her workout.
The monitor indicates: whether her heart rate is in the target range; whether the member is achieving her target intensity level; the range of motion for each repetition; and the number of repetitions. If the woman is exercising correctly, all indicators on the monitor will be green. Members are enthusiastically encouraged to "Go for Green!" Following the workout, the system produces a progress report which allows the member to see, instantly her strengths and weaknesses.
Raleigh Country Club and Raleigh Capital Commons are taking new appointments to get started on the CurvesSmart workout on a first come, first served basis. For more information call 919.829.7313 or 919.878.1966.

Tuesday, 28 October 2008Ever found that standard job sites don’t cater for the health and fitness profession, or that dance positions are often located on expensive sites that the job seeker pays to join? DanceandFitnessjobs.com is designed for all dance and fitness professionals and aims to provide a one stop service for qualified people in the industry to search jobs and post jobs and auditions in one easy to use form at.
The best part is that membership is currently free for both employers and job seekers registering at www.DanceAndFitnessJobs.com
Speaking of the site, founder Elle Kealy, who runs a London based dance company and is also an experienced recruiter says, “We are very excited to be launching a dedicated site in the UK. In terms of online recruitment for dancers, choreographers, personal trainers and other fitness professionals the industry has been lacking a service that is affordable and comprehensive for some time. Clients have very specific needs which the larger jobs sites don’t cater for. Similarly, unique skilled professionals such as dancers, for example, would benefit from a site which specializes in dance related work, so that when they are resting or looking for non-performance employment it’s available at their fingertips. In order to add value for performers, we also have a dedicated open audition section, so users can access audition and performance opportunities as well as full time or part time employment.”
In addition to the unique services DanceAndFitnessJobs.com is offering both job seekers and employers, there will also be a vast amount of recruiting and career information and new services and additions arriving at the website weekly. Users can sign up for newsletters with tips and hints on how to get ahead in the industry and there are links to training providers for those just starting out.
The site, which will officially launch in November is up and running now. Stop by http://www.danceandfitnessjobs.com and add an audition, upload a job, or search current positions. Register as a Job Seeker now and add your CV so that you will be accessible for all up coming auditions and jobs.
