All of these items are available on Amazon; strike quickly and you will have these just in time for Christmas!
Equipment for Teaching
-
We use these little suckers to prevent the passing of germs from one instructor to the next. Everyone prefers to use their own windscreen. This colorful variety pack is a low cost stocking stuffer: La Tartelette Handheld Stage Microphone Windscreen Foam Mic Cover Karaoke (Pack of 10 Colors). https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JUSZX86/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_J9tvybCYDM2HV

Group Ex Instructors are sweaty folks. A shared microphone belt is gross. If you teach the third class of the morning and you put on a tune belt that two previous instructors have sweat it up in - just imagine the funk. Getting your fave GFI her own hot pink tune belt will make her day! Try the Aeromic Pouch Belt Standard - Pink https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FLNVP22/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_R.tvyb1GG9VYS

Again we’re talking about sweat management. Everyone, fitness fanatics and instructors alike, will LOVE these extra absorbent towels. The Fit Spirit Set of 2 Super Absorbent Microfiber Non Slip Skidless Sport Towels are awesome! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VXTUO80/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_Tauvyb1SRV936
