4. You are being evaluated as a Fitness Leader, where you will demonstrate your instructing techniques & Skills, so it is required that we see some participants in your class. We also look for how your participants respond/listen to you during a class, therefore it is required that we see some of your participants (3-4 participants). 
5. Class needs to be at least 45 minutes long and have the appropriate time allocated to warm-up, cardio if applicable, muscle conditioning and cool down.
