We're All Winners!!! By Lahela Hekekia 6/20/2010
What a great morning at Winners Camp!!! I highly recommend it for kids aged 12-16. A good friend sent her daughter there, after she started acting out (grades dropping, running away, etc.), and it completely turned her around. Now she's in college!
It's not a boot camp that punishes, it's a motivational camp. I loved the tshirts -- sayings like "if it's to be, it's up to me." I happened to love that the artsy emo kids could wear their purple hair with no judgment.
We did a big Pilates class for about 100 students -- from Oahu, as well as other islands. Teachers were Jayme, Noriko-chan, Amber, and me, from Pilates Training Center Hawaii.
Wow, now I've only done a huge group class once -- that was at Lululemon, mostly adults. Ai yai yai, what a great challenge it was to hold the attention of all those teens. Now I know what to do for upcoming Zumba and Yoga -- haha.
Highlights: someone yelled out, "wow, that one feels good!" And a bunch ran up to chat afterwards. Some asked about back pain, finding core strength for martial arts, weight loss. I love working with kids!!!
