1 INSTRUCTOR INFORMATION

2 Hi! How are you? My name is Tara Franzinelli, and I am the founder of The Jungle Body, a fitness company that offers wild & exciting group fitness classes. We currently have over 35 Instructors in Australia and are growing every week! We provide training to Fitness Instructors for the following four classes: Konga - a dance based fitness class that includes hip hop, pop, old school, 70s, 80s, boxing and Yoga! Vypa - the hardcore class inspired by Cage Fighters, Professional Footballers and Boxers. Jagua - inspired by Musical Therapy where you tone, sculpt and stretch your body to your all time favourite hip hop, pop and oldies music. Tyga - a hip hop based fitness class which has you moving to the biggest and best RnB/Hip Hop tracks! All classes follow "The Formula" which is used by every single Jungle Body Instructor which makes sure every class is simplistic, easy to follow, uncomplicated and allows every participant to work to their own intensity. Gone are the days of classes you can't keep up with, or you are left shuffling around! It also is just as easy to teach a Jungle Body class as it is to do! So no stress! In the course you also learn to teach your classes to the elderly and kids. Once you have completed the course you are a qualified Jungle Body Instructor in whatever class you did the training in (Konga/Tyga/Vypa/Jagua). You then work for yourself. You can work in gyms, halls, dance schools, schools or Elderly homes wherever you like. The Jungle Body does have relationships with gyms and health clubs and can help you find a job once you are qualified. Please read the document attached for more info!
