Introduction
Thank you for checking out my website and this very long note! Over the years of teaching, I always search for a toolkit or guide to help me identify what I need to purchase, including tips and tricks of the profession. Unfortunately, I could not find anything similar to what I am looking for. So as I result, I made this guide to help current and new group fitness instructors. I highly encourage you to also talk to your Group Fitness Manager and other group fitness instructors as they might be able to give you feedback on additional supplies you might need to carry for your area.
Again... This is a general list I have compiled together! Much thought has gone into this note. I hope this will help you on your group fitness instructor journey. This list will constantly be updated with any changes. Email me if I am missing anything.
New Group Fitness Instructor Order Sheet
I suggest that all new group fitness instructors purchase a Good Gym Bag, Microphone Transmitter Carrier Belt (Tune Belt), Windscreen, Aux Cord, Disinfecting Wipes, and extra batteries just in case. You can purchase them through http://www.avnow.com, https://www.amazon.com, http://www.starvingmusician.com, https://www.guitarcenter.com/, and etc.

Windscreens
Windscreen are important because they are designed to reduce unpleasant wind, breath & popping noise and keep the same level of sound quality at the same time. Check with your Group Fitness Manager and check what microphone they have at their particular facility. Purchase your own windscreen to protect the microphone device and also not get you SICK! Cheap - Go to your 99 Cent Store or Walmart and get Hair Rollers, cut it in half, and your got a windscreen. They tend to block some of the sound. Great alternative on a budget.

Battery: Always prepare for the worst! Make sure you always keep a few batteries in your gym bags so you could operate your gym’s microphone.
