Chapter 230 Courses are sold out(1/2)
There was a notice posted on the bulletin board of the gym, and there was a course schedule. Two customers were standing in front of the course schedule, muttering in a low voice.
"Fitness course? What is this? I haven't heard of it before."
"Yes, are you going to class together? There doesn't seem to be any other gyms. There is a course schedule next to it, so let me see..."
"Monday is a fighting fuck. What is this fighting fuck? Is it similar to boxing?"
"What is this fun weight loss course? Can you lose weight?"
"Pilates, I know this. There is a Pilates studio on Eighth Avenue. It seems to be a specialty for rehabilitation training. Why has it become a course here?"
"Aerobic cross? I don't know what this is, but it sounds amazing."
"Kung Fu stick dance? What is Kung Fu? Is stick dance? Is it pole dance?"
"Crazy fat burning, this sounds very good. Maybe it can lose the fat on my stomach."
"The notice said that all members can listen to these courses, why don't we go and listen to them?"
At that time, most of the fitness coaches gave guidance when customers were exercising, so how could they offer systematic courses like this? So as soon as these courses were launched, they immediately attracted the attention of many members.
There were a lot of fitness courses in later generations, and they all had various high-end names, such as yoga, which were divided into flow yoga, Ayang yoga, Hatha yoga, etc., and others such as high-temperature yoga, cervical yoga, body slimming yoga, and slimming yoga. In short, adding two words to the front of yoga is a new course. In the end, even those who teach yoga may not know what they are teaching.
All kinds of equipment are the same. You can make a fight dance by punching a sandbag, you can make a barbell dance by holding a barbell, and you can even get a stick dance class with a stick.
These routines have been used in every gym in the future, but Americans in the 1930s and 1940s have never seen them. They only felt that such new things suddenly appeared, and the names sounded very awesome, so they went to try them one after another.
...
In the first class of Pilates training, Chen Qiang specially cleaned up Joseph Pilates.
As soon as he entered the classroom, Joseph Pilates was shocked. There were forty or fifty people in the classroom!
"So many people!" Joseph Pilates couldn't help but exclaim. He usually teaches people to practice Pilates, but it is more of a one-on-one service. He has never seen such a scene of forty or fifty people!
At this moment, Joseph Pilates felt excited. Thinking that he could make so many people understand the Pilates he invented at once, Joseph Pilates seemed to feel that he was doing a great cause!
"Fifty people a day, five hundred people a day, and five thousand people a day in ten days, and there will be five thousand people a year. If more than 10,000 people can learn my Pilates in a year, then maybe in ten or eight years, my Pilates training will spread throughout the United States and be well-known to the whole of the United States!"
Thinking of this, Joseph Pilates was extremely excited. He even planned to take time to come to Chen Qiang's training center every day to teach the students.
In fact, these students are here to listen. Since it was the first day of Pilates courses, the member listening was completely free. Since it is not expensive, many members are looking for something new.
Due to the limited space in the classroom, it is already the limit to accommodate forty or fifty people here, so more members who have not registered and do not come to the teacher, but can only wait outside.
...
Anthony, who was selling whiskey, came to the gym and saw a large group of people gathering at the door and window of the classroom.
Anthony walked over and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Shh, let's just say a little bit, it's class inside!" someone replied.
"What class should I take?" Anthony continued.
"Pilates training course." The man replied.
"Then you don't go in so much? Why are you staying outside!" Anthony asked again.
"Of course I want to go in, but it's full of people inside, so we have to wait for the next batch." The man said helplessly.
"Are you all waiting to take that Pilates training course?" Anthony was a little surprised.
The man nodded: "I think most people are."
"Is this Pilates training course so attractive?" Anthony shook his head inexplicably.
"I don't know, I haven't taken this course, but there are many people in it." The man said, giving in a little, and then said, "You'll know if you look.
When the gym was renovating, Chen Qiang opened a large window for the classroom, just like a store window, so Anthony saw the situation in the classroom through the window.
"Oh, so many people!" Anthony sighed softly.
"Since there are so many people studying this course, it means that this course is still very good. Should I sign up for this Pilates training course as well?" Anthony said in his heart.
...
People have a herd mentality, especially when studying fitness courses, they are even more willing to gather together.
So on this day, Chen Qiang sold hundreds of Pilates courses.
Chen Qiang once again felt the huge profits in the gym!
Opening a gym requires a large investment at one time, and then slowly recovering the cost. However, if you open a course, everything in the venue is ready-made, and only one teacher needs to invest in the teaching. Moreover, these teachers are all coaches hired by Chen Qiang, and they usually have to get a salary from Chen Qiang. This kind of transaction is more than a huge profit, it is simply a huge profit without a capital!
Chen Qiang even felt that he should rent the next door and expand several more classrooms, so that he could make a fortune by selling courses.
...
The martial arts master Sun stood in front of the members, took out a nunchakus and waved it. While waving the nunchakus, Master Sun also made the "uh uh uh" Bruce Lee's signature cry.
"oh!"
"OMG!"
"So amazing!"
“So cool!”
"I want to learn this."
After dancing the nunchakra, Chen Qiang stood up and introduced to everyone: "This is the stick dance coach I specially hired!"
"Is the stick dance class the ones he performed just now?" someone asked.
"This is just a part of it, and there are other contents. If you are interested, you can stay and listen to it." Chen Qiang said.
Several older people shook their heads and left the classroom. They obviously had no interest in the nunchaku performed by Master Sun.
However, all the young people stayed.
Because this performance of the nunchaku is so cool! At this moment, every young man present is fantasizing that he can also wave his nunchaku handsomely like Master Sun.
...
Chen Qiang wanted to offer Chinese Kung Fu courses in the gym in the United States, but he would have been unacceptable to the local conditions. Before Bruce Lee became popular in the United States, there were probably not many people in the United States who knew about Chinese Kung Fu and the United States did not have a fever of kung Fu. Teaching Americans to learn kung Fu at this time is undoubtedly an ideal idea, and the chance of success in implementation is very low.
Moreover, it is not easy to learn authentic Chinese Kung Fu. In the past, I learned Kung Fu from masters and practiced from horse stance. It is normal for beginners to start a horse stance for a few years. In the gym in the United States, you can’t teach a group of Americans to start a horse stance for a few years, right? If that is the case, no one will sign up to study.
So Chen Qiang plans to find another way and select some very gimmick kung fu elements to attract customers.
There are many elements that can attract people in Chinese Kung Fu, but Chen Qiang knows that the most successful person in the United States in the future is the nunchakra!
Among Chinese weapons, nunsaka is considered a strange weapon. In the future, Bruce Lee will carry forward nunsaka. Gradually, nunsaka has become an emerging fashion sport that integrates fitness, self-defense, performance and competition. On the basis of traditional Chinese martial arts, it has added body shape, footwork, movement and other movements, and later added modern and fashionable music and martial arts elements. It is no exaggeration to say that in the future, nunsaka is definitely the most internationally influential weapon.
The main reason why nunchaku succeeds in the United States is that it is cool when waving. In the future, nunchaku has various fancy stick techniques. Although the practical skills are almost zero, it is easy to accidentally knock on his head, but from an ornamental perspective, it is really cool.
Men are often more interested in weapons. For example, military fans like various modern weapons, even a picture of an airplane can be watched for a long time. If the gamers choose one in Frost Sadness and Pan, they will definitely choose Frost Sadness. Although the pan can kill people, it is not a weapon after all. Movie fans also have unique preferences for Thor's Hammer and Captain America's big shield.
Now a weapon that is very cool to wield has appeared, which is a fatal attraction for those young people!
The nunchaku has been successful in the United States. History has proved that this kind of fancy nunchaku is very popular among Americans, so Chen Qiang moved the fancy nunchaku performance to the United States, and success is inevitable.
Master Sun was originally a street performer, and it may not be effective in hitting people with eighteen weapons, but he is very good at performing with eighteen weapons. He has learned nine-section whip, so it is naturally more than enough to play nunchakra. After all, the difficulty of nine-section whip is much greater than that of nunchakra, and many techniques in nunchakra use nine-section whip skills, and the two have certain similarities.
With Chen Qiang's benefit, Master Sun didn't care about practicality anymore. The nunchao Sun Ma played fancy and looked good, so he would do whatever he wanted.
Only Bruce Lee's signature call was added by Chen Qiang, who asked Master Sun to add it. He played nunchao, how could he not have Bruce Lee's signature call!
This kind of cry may seem a bit too late now, but in the 1930s and 1940s, this kind of cry was so cool with the smooth nunchakra!
...
Hanks was once a poor boxer, and the reason why he was not good at it was because he never won a game.
Hanks became obsessed with boxing in high school, but due to his limited talent, he was not the best in the school. After graduating from high school, Hanks found a job, but he did not give up boxing. He joined a boxing club. In his spare time, he was still practicing boxing, and he also played official games in some small boxing games.
Over the past few years, Hanks has played a total of 13 official games. This number is a very unlucky number in the West. What's even more unlucky is that Hanks lost all of these 13 games and was knocked down by his opponent several times. It can be said that he is a failed boxer.
Such a poor level is destined to be a professional boxer. Even the boxing club where Hanks is persuaded to give up boxing because he is really not a boxing material.
After experiencing successive failures, Hanks was also hit hard. He also realized that his talent was limited and he could not become a professional boxer, so he withdrew from the boxing club and stopped fighting.
Not long ago, Hanks found a part-time job, which was to work as a fitness coach in the gym opened by Chen Qiang.
As a boxer, although Hanks is not good at boxing, his muscles are still quite intimidating. With his figure, he can easily leak muscles in the gym, which makes people feel that this is a fitness coach with some skills.
Two months ago, Hanks was suddenly called to the office by Chen Qiang, who asked Hanks to offer a "fighting dance" course.
Hanks didn't know what fighting dance was, and he was confused. Fortunately, Chen Qiang knew some fighting dance, so he taught Hanks to practice step by step.
After all, Hanks has the foundation of a boxer, so he learned fighting dance with a little learning. Based on his boxing experience, he has added many professional boxing elements to fighting dance.
Then Hanks' fighting dance class began.
In Hanks's opinion, this fighting dance course is just a useless flower-like manner. He can't reach the crowd when he goes on the ring and is put in by his opponent in an instant. But what Hanks didn't expect was that his fighting dance course was very popular!
With the eyes of Hanks boxers, fighting dance is of course useless, probably only as an ordinary exercise to consume calories. But ordinary people think fighting exercises are very novel things.
In Chen Qiang's publicity, fighting dance is a fashionable and novel sport. It not only exercises the body, but also learns self-defense skills. It is suitable for both men, women, young and old.
In the brochure, Chen Qiang listed five advantages for fighting dance. The first is to eliminate fat and shape perfect body lines; the second is to make the body more flexible; the third is to learn fighting skills for self-defense; the fourth is to satisfy your desire to "fight", but don't worry about hurting others or getting hurt yourself; the fifth is to relieve stress, make you full of energy, and make you happy.
Hanks didn't know whether the students were in a happy mood, but he was very happy because many people came to Hanks' fighting dance courses, so he also received a lot of commissions.
