This summer, I traveled the country setting up MOVRun. This is a new division of my fitness company that we’ve had for about 8 months. We were able to expand into over 8 new cities with more to come with my journey across the country to find new destinations to run.
I also have started a new business, KIWI Online. Already partnered with the University of California with our internship program, we are expanding this to not only include more fitness certifications, but also to offer degrees focusing on the arts. KIWI is 100% online and allows students to partner with my various businesses so students may get hands-on experience while learning. It is also 100% free as long as students commit to a 3 year work-exchange program. I believe education should be free and this is a great way of providing this to our nation that I look forward to having up and running with 100 students by fall 2011.
We’ve expanded our learning tools to include a new program for the Wii so students can interact and learn boxing, ballroom dancing, martial arts, sword fighting, posture, and more all with the Wii! This is similar to WiiFit, but designed with personal trainers in mind and can help them obtain their certification.
In my quest to better our business, I have started to use an incredible software for video tutorials called Camtasia. You can view a few of our videos here: http://www.techsmith.com/camtasia.asp
We’ve really learned a lot about how to run a business online over the summer and implemented programs such as TaskFreak, Moodle, Camtasia, OpenOffice, GoogleDocs, WordPress, and more into our lineup that is used everyday by our staff.
I also was able to make quite a long stop in Alabama to train our newest dance instructor, Misty Koger. She will be opening free ballroom dance classes in her area very soon as well as our new location in Studio City soon to come. This is exciting and we are forever thankful to those who have participated in our races to make this dream come true.
In the months to come, will be released exclusively to our clients and we will expand our dance program around the nation – specifically in San Francisco, New York, and San Diego.
