“As an instructor I get great satisfaction in seeing new students come in to class and watching their progress. Starting from someone who is a little shy and intimidated, maybe a little out of shape, and watching this person’s attitude improve, their self-confidence increase and their physical fitness dynamically improving. It really makes all the hard work worthwhile.”
