Chapter 233 The Coming of the Calisthenics Era

Spinning bikes have become the main topic of conversation in Chen Qiang's gym, and many New Yorkers have come to see what the spinning bikes touted in the newspapers look like.

But anyone who is interested in fitness quickly falls in love with spinning.

Spinning is a very novel way of exercising, and the amount of exercise in spinning is no less than other fitness programs, or even surpassed.

And compared with normal iron, exercise bikes are not boring at all, and they are not the kind of simple repetitive movements. For those who can't stand the boredom and repetition, they may not be able to stick to other fitness equipment, but they can persist in a half-hour spinning class; And those who have been accustomed to the boring feeling of fitness, the new form of exercise of fitness bikes, is to open a new door to them, since there is a non-boring fitness method, who will continue the original boring iron.

Especially after the media reports, the reputation of spinning bikes quickly fermented, and many members of other gyms learned that Chen Qiang had a fresh fitness class here, and they also came to experience it. Relying on this spinning bike, Chen Qiang has a large number of customers.

……

Evening is the busiest time for Chen Qiang's gym, many people come to the gym to exercise for an hour or two after a day's work, and then take a free hot shower before returning home.

Esther also came to Chen Qiang's gym on time in the evening.

Esther's water show is only performed once a day in the afternoon, so Esther will only work in the afternoon, and after the water show, she will come to Chen Qiang's gym, wait for Chen Qiang to get off work, and then go home with Chen Qiang in the evening.

The charm of the beautiful woman is really great, and Esther appeared in the gym, which instantly made those male members and fitness coaches flock to the gym, offering great affection, and there are many people who want to date Esther.

However, Esther obviously has no interest in those "crazy bees and butterflies", she came to the gym, just to be Chen Qiang's follower, she went wherever Chen Qiang went, Chen Qiang went to class, and she also went to the classroom to listen to the class.

Chen Qiang was also a little helpless about this, but when he was in Los Angeles in 1932, Esther was like a dog skin plaster, always sticking to Chen Qiang, so Chen Qiang was used to it.

"Esther, if you're bored, head to my office, where there's the latest Superman and Batman comics." Chen Qiang said.

"I'm not interested in those comics." Esther shook her head, and then she spoke, "Otherwise, you can let me work in your gym!" I think I can also be a coach and teach them how to ride spin bikes. I see that you have been teaching for so many days, and I have learned a lot, so I should be able to go to the teaching staff. ”

"If you become a fitness instructor, your classes will definitely be full, and it is estimated that when you take classes, all the members will come to you, and there will be no other classes in my place." Chen Qiang said with a smile.

Esther pouted a little dissatisfied, thinking that Chen Qiang was rejecting him.

Chen Qiang didn't want to be followed by a tail, so he said, "Okay, if you want to work with me, it's not impossible." Not spinning, though, but something else. ”

"What is it?" Esther looked excited.

"Calisthenics. I'm referring to calisthenics specifically for women, and I'm going to have a couple of classes specifically for women, mainly to help women wake up and lose fat, but I don't have a lot of female members in my gym at the moment, so you probably won't have too many students. However, I believe that over time, women's calisthenics will become popular. Chen Qiang said.

Until the 70s, the mainstream members of the gym were still those muscular men who played iron, although women's fitness has always existed, but it is not the mainstream in the gym, and the number of women participating in fitness is far less than that of men.

However, in the gym of the future, there are no fewer women than men who participate in fitness, and many young women are keen to exercise in the gym for an hour or two a day, compared to young men who prefer to eat chicken in front of the computer, or play a few games of Glory of Kings with their mobile phones.

Therefore, it is not that there is no market for women's fitness, but at that time, this market has not been developed.

An untapped market also means a market with great potential and a market that can bring huge profits. Chen Qiang naturally has to seize such a market.

Chen Qiang, who came from later generations, of course knew that women's money was very easy to make, and women could go bankrupt and give everything for the sake of beauty. For many women, when they are sick, they would rather be treated conservatively than may be willing to have surgery, but in order to be more beautiful and have a better figure, they are very willing to make a few cuts on their face or body, cut off some bones, or put something in them.

Therefore, Chen Qiang only needs to package women's fitness courses as body shaping and fat loss courses, claiming that they can make the body better, which is enough to make those ambiguous ladies rush to it.

You can become more beautiful, and the reason for this is irresistible to any woman!

In the gym of the future, there are many fitness classes that are popular with women, such as various dance classes, aerobic exercise classes, stretching classes, Pilates classes, and various body shaping yoga.

The first women's class that Chen Qiang thought of was also yoga.

Practicing yoga requires the body to have a certain degree of flexibility, and in terms of flexibility, women are naturally much better than men, so yoga is also more suitable for men to practice. In the gym of the future, yoga classes are also mainly for women.

In the end, however, Chen Qiang rejected yoga.

The first reason is that Chen Qiang is worried that yoga will not adapt to the water and soil in the United States.

In later generations, yoga has spread all over the world, even in the United States, there are a large number of people practicing yoga, so there is no such phenomenon of yoga "adapting to the soil", but it was not the case in 1939.

In the United States in 1939, there were already Americans interested in yoga in India, but at that time, the study of yoga was an organization called the "Theosophical Society", which was located in New York, mainly dedicated to solving the mystery of the paranormal. is the work of Sun Wukong, what demons, monsters, beautiful women paint skin, all of them are the objects of their research. And yoga is studied by this Theosophical Society, and it is natural that it is classified as something like strange power and chaos.

Therefore, to promote yoga in New York in this era, maybe people will regard Chen Qiang as an exorcist, and those who look for Chen Qiang in the future will not come to fitness, but to exorcism.

The second reason why Chen Qiang denies yoga is because Chen Qiang doesn't know much about yoga either.

In the future of China, the main contact of yoga is also women, and there are not many men who practice yoga, so Chen Qiang can only be regarded as having some understanding of yoga, and let him teach others to practice yoga, but the level is still a few points worse. Yoga is a thing that still requires professionalism, at least you have to be a professional yoga instructor to teach others to practice yoga.

The Pilates training in Chen Qiang's gym is specially invited to Joseph Pilates, if Chen Qiang opens a yoga class in the gym, he must not go to India to invite a yoga master? With that kung fu, Chen Qiang might as well drive a few more spinning classes.

After Chen Qiang's yoga class was denied, he immediately thought of aerobics.

In the seventies and eighties of the last century, color television had just gradually become popular in ordinary American families, and it was also the era of the rise of calisthenics. In front of the TV, there are countless American housewives dancing along with the TV.

Later, even many men joined the ranks of calisthenics, wearing tight tank tops and tight shorts, and dancing calisthenics together. That kind of dance movement plus music is no less brainwashing than the current square dance. Even if you search for the hidden now, you can find a video full of magic in American calisthenics in the 80s.

In the United States in the seventies and eighties, calisthenics was very popular, not only ordinary people, but even Hollywood women would also release some videos of calisthenics to attract more fans. This is probably like those Internet celebrities who are now rubbing on popularity, rubbing whatever topic is hot. However, calisthenics has been "hot" in the United States for twenty years!

There are also scenes of calisthenics in many domestic and foreign film and television programs, such as Xing Ye's "Tricky Expert", there is a scene where Uncle Da and Hua Ge want to take Xing Ye's blood to recognize their relatives, and at that time, Xing Ye was constantly twisting his ass with the aerobics on TV.

In the future, this kind of calisthenics also spread to China, and in the nineties, there were often programs on TV that took the audience to dance aerobics, and even some were in prime time before the seven o'clock simulcast, which is enough to show how popular calisthenics was at that time.

Since calisthenics is sure to be popular, Chen Qiang also plans to introduce calisthenics into his gym, and as a course that is exclusively open to female members.

In Chen Qiang's plan, after a while, he will recruit a few female fitness trainers to set up some women's classes to serve female members. Now that Esther took the initiative to ask to be a fitness coach, Chen Qiang simply handed over the aerobics to Esther and asked her to open a women's aerobics course.

Esther is an athlete by background, and her physical fitness and flexibility are okay, so she is obviously a good material to be a fitness coach. And Esther is still so young, so beautiful, and the whole person is full of youthful vitality, it is perfect for her to take a group of female students to do aerobics.

However, calisthenics also requires a set of passionate music, Mozart and Beethoven's high-pressure music, which is not good for riding spinning bikes, nor is it good for calisthenics. So Chen Qiang found musician Louis Jordan again, hoping that Louis Jordan could compose special music for aerobics.

With the last collaboration, Louis Jordan also knew that Chen Qiang wanted that type of music, and this time Louis Jordan seemed more handy, and he quickly completed the creation of calisthenics music.

……

A new notice appeared on Chen Qiang's fitness bulletin board.

"Are there any new courses to be created again?"

"There's a lot of new classes here!"

"What is this time? Body sculpting aerobics? ”

"The instructor of this course is called Esther Williams, and she is a woman!"

"Female fitness coach, don't you know how beautiful she looks!"

"Esther? The beautiful woman who appeared next to Chen Qiang recently seems to be called Esther, could it be her? ”

"That's a big beauty, even those female stars who act in movies are not as beautiful as her, if she really is the coach, I will definitely sign up for this course."

"You think beautifully, you see what I said later, only for ladies, if you want to go to this course, unless you are willing to cut off the underneath, hahaha!"

……

The male members focus on the beautiful female coaches, while for the female members, they see something else.

For example, body shaping, such as body beautification, such as fat loss, and even Chen Qiang explained in the advertisement that this kind of body shaping aerobics can promote the body's metabolism, improve skin quality, and make people younger!

In fact, this is not a fool, a moderate amount of exercise will keep people young, and there are often forty or fifty-year-old aunts in the media in the future, who look like they are in their twenties because they often exercise. Of course, we don't know if they have plastic surgery, we don't know and don't dare to ask, whether the photo has PS, we don't know and don't dare to ask, but people who often exercise do look younger than their peers.

For women, shaping, beautifying the body, losing fat, and becoming younger, these are indeed too attractive, just these few advertising words, let those female members look ready to move!

And when Esther, the coach of body shaping calisthenics, appeared in front of these female members, they were even more convinced that this body shaping calisthenics would really work.

As mentioned before, eighteen-year-old Esther has a face that is not inferior to that of a movie star, she is full of youthful vitality from top to bottom, and as an athlete, she is very toned. Such a young, beautiful and toned coach is simply a live advertisement for body shaping calisthenics!

If a fitness coach is very strong and has a great figure, then the customer's first impression is that the fitness coach is trustworthy; And if a fitness trainer is a greasy uncle, the customer will also play drums in his heart after reading it, and wonder if this person can do it.

For example, two fitness coaches who teach body shaping exercises stand in front of you, one is the American team with big breasts and big butts, and the other is Thor with a beer belly, if you are not an Asgardian, then you will definitely choose the American team as your body shaping coach, if you are an Asgardian, you will probably hesitate for a moment, say "I'm sorry my king" to Thor, and then choose the American team as your body shaping coach.
