HERE’S WHAT A FEW OF OUR SUCCESSFUL GRADUATES AND CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES WITH LABLAST® FITNESS!
My name is Laura Johnson, and I have been a Group Fitness Instructor and Group Fitness Manager for 30 years in the fitness industry. I am certified in numerous programs and have taught
every dance program that is currently on the market. After becoming certified by Louis Van Amstel in his dance fitness program “LaBlast®“, I now ONLY teach and endorse his dance fitness program. Louis and his team provide excellent instructor support. It has withstood the test of time which is crucial in a fitness facility.I brought Louis’s program to Galaxy Fitness two years ago and it is a successful thriving class that continues to grow, prosper, and inspire members of all ages. LaBlast® is a top
producing dance fitness program that has proven to be a lucrative addition to our group fitness schedule. Men and women of all ages benefit from the classes.
Each time I finish I class I have participants who rush up to me and tell me how LaBlast® has made an impact on their lives. It is a program that grows with the progress of students. My ability to offer any genre of music and level of choreography inspires them on a physical as well as emotional level.I would encourage every group fitness instructor/Gym owner to bring LaBlast® to their facility. They won’t be sorry. LaBlast® is simply “The Best”!
Beth instantly fell in love with LaBlast® because it embodies the lifestyle necessary for ANYONE to achieve a healthier and happier life. Through LaBlast®, Beth has been able to reach people of all ages and fitness levels, exposing them to the fun and excitement of dance, and molding stronger, healthier individuals with more fulfilled lifestyles.

Beth’s unique balance of talents enable her to offer trainings rich in education and the necessary skills to excel as a fitness professional. She enjoys sharing her experience with other professionals to help them realize that they too can change people’s lives through LaBlast®!
Thanks so much Louis for creating LaBlast and for giving me something to help regain my confidence and love for dance. Before we met I had found myself getting older and that younger cuter teachers were getting the new students. Adding to that I was forced to leave competing. I felt so lost and depressed, put on weight and just really didn’t know where to go anymore. I attempted trying to do Zumba but really hated it. Nothing about it filled my love for dance or even wanting to teach it. Louis, you and LaBlast® have helped me regain my love for teaching and dancing.
