Required certification

A proposal to face the informality on physical training.

 

We’ve already spoke up about the apparent lack of control on the manners how the pupils are treated at the gyms of Piura. From a supervision absence in the training methodology to the anabolic-steroids trafficking, passing through an adequate psychological advisory, the issue did not interest to the correspondent authorities.

 

Meanwhile, men and women use the service ignoring if the investment they do will bring them some benefit to their life or it won’t. The appearance of a franchise in the cities of Piura and Sullana  have introduced a service that all the gyms doesn’t have – nutritionists. Although the consultations are included in the cost of the membership, this is over the most can pay.

 

A way to face the problem is the certification of trainers, but a search we did to have an interview that allows us to put this query in perspective with somebody had no results. In the other hand, the Piura Bodybuilding Federation did have summoned to specialized trainings with certification, but it’s ignored if there is an evaluation that allow to know if the learned in those courses is applied and how.

 

Despite, Piura has turned a place of this sport, and every March, it’s organized the Mister and Miss Piura contests to award the people who based on their word, and some –extra—help, have reached aesthetics and plasticity, although not necessarily good health.

 

The united, the stronger

César Campos was chosen as 2011 Mister Piura after years of continuous work for having a recognizement in bodybuilding. During the national phase –Mister Peru—he reached the fourth place in the general classification. Since 2007, Campos Works in a known gymnasium at Piura Downtown, after doing it since he was 20 in his native Sullana.

 

Before he moved looking for a better professional future, he was committed to create a bodybuilding federation in Sullana. His main concern was the lack of certification for trainers at that town. Neither the authorities, neither his most colleagues supported him because they didn’t understand the importance of the process or simple commercial envy. Join the competence and becoming one only front to demand a better labor treatment too was not well seen by the Sullana’s mastership.

 

The gymnasium where he worked in Sullana was part of the franchise that was introducing new practices in the way how the pupils are treated. Once upon a good time, we tried to have an interview with the trainer in charge to explore this issue, but we got no answer.

 

Yes, but…

This was not a difficult to talk extraofficially to other trainers. The most of them recognize that the certification and professionalization of their jobs is necessary, but very few have the money to invest in the courses, or their gyms are not interested in granting them, when the benefit is for the own business.

 

And obviously, there are who have no interest in studying and certifying because they are trainers due to labor chances. This means if they get a better job, they will quit in the long term. In Bellavista, Sullana, there is a dude who eventually works as a trainer at a downtown gymnasium. Unlike his most colleagues, he has Physical Education official pedagogycal studies, but his goal is not staying to work there but to have a job at some school. The reason why he accepted the job was to pay his studies.

 

Butt, analyzing well the issue, could this be a choice to get an official certification? In other countries (like Spain) and Lima, this is a key requirement to work not only at gyms but everywhere that requires to monitor the physical activities of people, no matter their age.

 

Before it turns a public health problem, authorities, store operators, trainers, and pupils should consider the need to assume this issue for the good of community. So, the physical activity will be really constructive and it will develop adequately one of our dimensions as human beings. The indifference to the issue won’t bring positive consequences.

 

The Risks of Contracting Monkeypox at the Gym: What You Need to Know

Monkeypox is a rare viral disease that has gained attention in recent years due to outbreaks in various parts of the world. Although most cases have been limited to specific population groups and situations, it's natural to wonder if high-traffic places like gyms could pose a risk of infection.

 

What is Monkeypox?

Monkeypox is a disease caused by a virus from the same family as smallpox, though it is much less severe. It is primarily transmitted through direct contact with bodily fluids, skin lesions, or contaminated surfaces, as well as through respiratory droplets at short distances.

 

Transmission Mechanisms

To understand the risk at a gym, it's important to consider how monkeypox is transmitted:

 

Direct contact: The highest risk comes from direct contact with the skin or lesions of an infected person. In a gym, this type of contact could occur if shared equipment is used without proper cleaning or if there is close physical contact during certain activities.

Contaminated surfaces: The virus can survive on surfaces such as exercise machines, weights, mats, or towels. If someone infected touches a surface and another person comes into contact with that same area, there is a potential risk of transmission.

Respiratory droplets: While airborne transmission is less common and generally requires prolonged face-to-face contact, it is still a possibility in crowded and enclosed spaces like gyms.

 

Factors That Increase the Risk at the Gym

High usage frequency: Gyms are places where many people share equipment and spaces. If proper cleaning practices are not followed, this can increase the risk of the virus spreading.

Inadequate hygiene: Poor hygiene, such as not washing hands regularly, not disinfecting equipment before and after use, or not showering after exercise, can facilitate transmission.

Enclosed and poorly ventilated spaces: Poor ventilation in enclosed areas can increase the risk of transmission through respiratory droplets, especially in areas where high-intensity exercises are performed.

 

Measures to Reduce the Risk

To minimize the risk of contracting monkeypox at the gym, it's important to follow some recommendations:

Regular disinfection: Always clean and disinfect equipment before and after use. Bring your own towels and sterilize surfaces you will come into contact with.

Personal hygiene: Wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your face. Change clothes immediately after working out and shower as soon as possible.

Social distancing: Maintain a safe distance from other users when possible, especially in areas where high-intensity exercises are performed.

Use of personal equipment: If possible, bring your own equipment, such as yoga mats, small weights, or resistance bands, to avoid sharing objects with others.

 

While the risk of contracting monkeypox at a gym exists, it can be minimized with good hygiene practices and precautions. Stay informed about public health recommendations and take steps to protect yourself and others. If you experience symptoms or believe you have been in contact with someone infected, consult a healthcare professional and avoid going to the gym until you are sure you do not pose a risk to others. | X | WhatsApp | chulucanasgym@gmail.com

  

When musculation becomes unhealthy

Importance of mentorship and legacy in bodybuilding

Bodybuilding has held on alive such itself since it began to spread and promote in Europe in the second half of 19^th century, and in the U.S. in the beginning of 20^th century, and from both social and cultural spots toward the entire world. Today, it’s very rare the corner of the planet where it doesn’t do, especially if we talk about nations with a high sports vocation as Brazil, here in Latin America.

 

It wasn’t only about opening more gyms – rather, the gym is the ideal space for what the tradition keeps ever alive, but the history tells us since Lacedemone, Ancient Greece, 18^th century B.C., until Esse, actual Germany, 1852 A.D., and then up to date, the importance of this institution ffor learning and developing the physical culture has not fallen down – quite the opposite.

 

Let’s consider this first idea: it’s not the physical facility what makes the bodybuilding to everlast. The first gyms were big open-air lots delimited with walls where the athletes trained fully naked. Today, although the idea could sound very exotic to rescue, what we have are buildings that keep the same concept of these big lots but under a roof (the most) and with the comfort of modern architecture.

 

Obviously, most of us already don’t train naked but even at the time of our routine, we unavoidabily end giving up to the marketing of big sports brands. Let’s remember we also can train in the open and we could get the same effect if we do it correctly.

 

Then, a second idea we should consider is the gym, before the physical space, it’s about a 38-century-old institution, and as a human creation, it’s the presence of persons training and inspiring others to continue training and getting new goals, no doubt.

 

How does our example influence in the motivation that many bodybuilders and athletes have to start their own sport careers, or a healthy lifestyle at least? The truth is it influences much, if not, think of who inspired you to attend that very first day and to continue persisting until getting your first results, your actual achievement later.

 

These models inspiring us, whether we meet them in person or not, are called mentors in pedagogy – the persons who form in our heads that we wish or want to be. We have mentors for everything: our profession, our fashion style, our criteria for choosing mates and friends… anyway. Think of your actual life and you’ll understand that somebody inspired you to be who you are, and there’s somebody who is inspiring you to be someone else.

 

It’s probable we don’t propose to be mentor of anybody and we are in our right, but we are an example the same, and somebody is going to see in us for continuing to train, or leaving to do it. And as the years go by, that one we have inspired to, it’s going to inspire another new generation, and so and so.

 

But if you are aware of how much your example can influence in the life of other person or other people and you want to take control of the situation, it would be actually good you have a plan or a methodology in mind that allows who you inspire to learn the bodybuilding in a progressive and sequential way, that they appreciate it in a positive way, and that they value their first achievements as an won creation they can go improving.

 

So, you go building a legacy or heritage of knowledge and attitude around the bodybuilding, which purpose must be the improvement of the training ways, the increasing of life quality, the affirmative and positive self-validation, and the long of who come behind evolve the physical culture for their benefit and the one of who will come behind them. In this sense, the mentorship and the legacy will do the bodybuilding as a sustainable activity in time and space.

 

You’re not a substitute

This implies you to educate, to get ready for when that new bodybuilder or athlete gets close to you, you have true, precise, and inspiring answers. It’s not about you are going to turn in his physical trainer, but you could complement favorably the work of those professionals so that person gets motivated to ccome back working out the next day, and the next week, and the next month, and the next year.

 

It would be interesting if these mentorship and legacy strategies are precisely coordinated with the physical trainer for having unity in the messages and the quality of examples. Also, beyond how much weight you lift, it can turn in a natural opportunity to forge constructive social relationships that form a community which you ever could count.

 

Prepare and tell us your experience or let’s interchange tips. Let’s talk on our Twitter account, or also at our e-mail chulucanasgym@gmail.com

Coming next - we link you to the developing experience in Callao, Peru.

The model featured on this entry is José Escobar. 

The trainer in times of pandemic

When the Peruvian Government ruled all the country’s population (around 30 million people) should keep mandatory quarantine to avoid contagion because of Covid-19, the new corona-virus’ strain, the bodybuilder and national champion José el Churre Escobar figured out that a way to stay in touch to the pupils of his gym, Lima, Peru-based Churretec, was through Facebook Live.

Every night at 7:15 Peruvian Time (8:15 in New York, 5:15 in Los Angeles, 2:15 in London), José shows a full class with some of his power routines. And if somebody doesn’t reach to watch the live vvideo, the file remains available to analyze it or download it later. And since Facebook allows comments, the people can use this function to ask in case of doubts.

He’s not the only trainer who has discovered the advantage of this social medium to address his pupils and who wish to be. In Paita, Peru, Félix Oviedo (who we met because his initiative to do aerobics at a local beach), has already come using as a promotion tool for his gym, PerfectBody, that was good-embraced by his people around as well as the ones who don’t live in his city.

At least in Peru, the authorities have pointed out the discos and the gyms as the places where the contagions seem to concentrate. They explained due to the crowd in both spaces, especially youth who reported not to have any Covid-19 symptom came to infect each other, and when they carried it to their houses, became to infect their whole family or their mates at the workplaces.

If the authorities of your country or your state have explained the communitarian infection of this kind  of virus the same way, it’s obvious to suppose when the quarantine ends, the gyms to be one of the public spaces submitted to huge controls. If you work there, or even you are the owner, you could face a closure if you don’t follow up the local rules in a litteral way. The less, the inmediate one could be the apparel to be further than 3 or 6 feet each other, or maybe the aerobics class to be the same distance or upper. We have to stand by the rule to act.

Rather, your tasks are basically two: to honor the rule and to reinventate yourself. In the first case, it’s obvious that if they demand you to take away physically, you have to choose sanity instead of attendance, maybe to be much strict in times, maybe to experience economic loses while you replace in the market or until the rule gets cancelled.

Become interesting

Your way should be the replacement, a whole innovation plan in your business model not only as a location but as a physical culture pro. The Félix & El Churre’s example is a choice you could have in mind.

“But nobody is going to pay me for making a live,” a Lima, Peru-based trainer comments. Correct! And the same happens to the headlines at a newsstand: the people get closer to read them and they don’t pay for them, but if the content results them interesting, be sure they will buy indeed. Bingo! You have to do the same – to present something interesting that calls the attention, that leaves the feeling to want more in the people. Get creative.

The Little in public, the whole in private

Maybe you don’t have to show a full class. What about to webcast about 15 to 20 minutes? When the free time is over, you could say your audience something kind like “thanks for joining me – if you want to know more about this routine, write me or call me.” And here you can start up a business as a personal or small groups trainer, whether your client’s house or your gym itself.

As you know, this mode has become a profitable business, but look at the people who will trend to hire a pro who doesn’t say only what exercise to do, how many sets, how many reps. People would take advantage from you the most in every session, so if you have a (real)  certifycation on nutrition, massages, advisory, or even other disciplines like yoga or meditation, you have more market chances.

Pitch a full experience

We bet you know to cook. What about if after the routine, you take the kitchen-room, and make something nutritive, or teach your pupil to learn making it? And if you don’t know to cook, why don’t you ally to a restaurant business that can provide your students with a healthy-food-based menu? You could offer the full service and have a fee for recommending this or that restaurant. Yes, in this time, the alliances will allow the survival of entreprenurships.

And if the gym gets a smallest physical space, why not thinking of an outdoor trip service like the countryside, the mountains, or the beach where you serve as a guide, share connecting experiences to the Nature, and encourage your group to work out cross-country or in the water? In the end, this could be a pretty interesting entrepreneurship, that also offers a full experience to your pupil, that shares on the social media. And that’s convenient to you as an entrepreneur.

More public, more planned

Like we advised it you when we talked about to build a possitive attitude or to get a sponsor, we repeat you not to target only on the social media as promotion tools for your or your gym. Try to get the attention of the mass-media by proposing them an interesting project like advising on training or nutrition, maybe writing an op-ed about that issue, or doing a photo shoot (like José escobar’s provided to us for this story). Don’t wish to get money by that, have it rather like advertising in your favor (keep sure your name is pretty visible when the feature once gets published).

As we said, the manthra in those times is getting creative not breaking the rules. Rather, it’s about incorporating the rules for you to become an innovator. How many money do you need? First, we should to outline your idea to see how much resources you need. Having this clear, the next is to list what you have and what you lack. The trick consists in optimizing what you already have  for making it profitable and getting what you lack, but you have to plan. If you don’t make this step, you’ll advance blind.

And whenever, after Reading this, we will pleased to know what ideas come to your mind and, why not, give them a space here. Remember you find us on our Twitter account and on chulucanasgym@gmail.com

Dancing for pure pleasure

While we attend one of his classes, we run along his story marked by triumph.

 

7:25 in the morning. The class doesn’t start yet. They’re just some dudes who use the machines room at the gym. Mrs. Cruz “Cucha” Castillo begins to putt he steps waiting for the pupils (more female, actually) of every morning. The sound equipment is tuned on a local station broadcasting some music and news while the Sun strains through the windows. It’s Rosmy Gym, in Jardin, West Sullana City, Peru, and everybody is waiting for Cristian reyes, the aerobics trainer who is going to give his first class of the day.

 

The life between his birthday, an August 29^th, 1984, in Sullana City (Peru), and just after he turned 14 years old was like another boy else’s. That day, a gym’s trainer saw him to dance and left surprised. The offer was direct: “Are you interested to dance in my gym?” Cristian tells he responded affirmatively. Since then, all has been different. He engaged to the world of gyms and perfectionated his talent. He presented in many events and he ever got the first places.

 

Cristian has come in. Everybody comes into the aerobics room of the gym. The music starts to play. He says it’s mixed right for the classes. It starts breathing – gotta begin puffing up the lungs because this is all about. What few realizes is the music beat is synchronized to the same rhythm of heart beats.

 

The aerobic looksfor improving the blood stream and the breathing. Also, it allows to eliminate fat and toxins effectively if it’s done constantly and sustainibily. Cristian begins a basic in front of the step. Till here, the stuff is pretty simple – just go up, go down, and eventually flex. The idea is doing it at the music rhythm.

 

The big opportunity came in his 20 years old. Cristian was delegate to a national dance contest and he didn’t deceived. He faced contenders from around the nation and came back to Sullana with the title in his hand. In that moment, he wasn’t only working out in dance but he was involved in aerobics. Some of his female pupils got fascinating for evident achievements: wweight control, agility.

 

“You feel Good whehn the people begins to mention the things you wan, what you work in,” he comments. The speaker drowns Cristian’s voice while he tries to explain us what the next move to be. Matter of coordination. The aerobics test our synapses purposed to match taking the right step in the right time, and over all keeping harmony with the rest of the group. Collective work, too.

 

The music has the cadence of the techno sequencer but it’s heard crossovers suddenly with pop, rock, latin pop, merengue, elegant huayno, and even saya. “It’s the new trend – it’s about full-body,” hhe will explain us later. It’s the hald of the class and the effects begin to feel including the loading sweat, some tireness and thirst, but gotta hold on. At least the ones in the first row of steps seem not to spend too bad.

 

It’s not a casuality that Sullana gets achievements. “It’s a level better inclusive than Piura [City],” Cristian states. He’s not a pioneer on the issue but he’s one of the more enthusiastic, actually. That’s why he tries not to lose a chance to dance, or like he does now, teaching others to do it.

 

He has got many recognizements for having to train children, mainly, from different schools in Sullana. “What we need is supporting,” he says. “It’s not like other countries where that support is actually given.” And although he recognizes there are more professionals on the field everytime else, he feels the opportunities are not easy where the hand to reach.

 

50 minutes since the class started have already passed. One another has deserted. We breathe again, stretch. Five minutes of that. Cristian claps addressing the pupils (more females than males, we agree) of that day, marking the class is over. Some still will stay to work out waist. If it’s Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, Cristian will continue a machines routine.

 

The day just began. He has many things to do, and still coming back to the gym for the class with the afternoon group. Possibly, there would be a presentation on weekend, or he will spend with his family for good.

 

The day that Jardin Urbanization’s Association of Young Residents in sullana held a seminar with students of the last year of high-school at INIF 48 School, Cristian was there. His mission was getting about 150 girls move to the batuca rhythm, with the help of some guys of the association. Everybody moved… well, almost everybody, because the school’s principal and some teachers only looked at in the background.

 

Other talent this boy has hidden is a good voice for singing. “But he only sings for me in special occasions,” Mrs. Castillo kids. No way, the guy is quite shy although the stage is not an unknown land to him. Anyway, he is a winner, and who wins something ever expects something much greater. And for the record, when somebody asks him why he does all this, he only has one answer: “Because I like.”

  

Time of change

Clean as water, strong as metal

A pro runner and his pupils reach goals amid the lockdown

Consuelo Yarlequé is 61 years old and until May 1^st, 2020, she was 69 kilos or 152 pounds. It was not good news – she was type-1 obesity. That same day she started up a training & feeding plan. Three weeks later, during her evaluation, she noticed she has lost… 9 pounds! “I’m happy of the results,” the lady affirms. “Through all years of experience I’m running, I never had lost so much weight.”

Consuelo and other people in Piura, Chiclayo, Cajamarca, and Lima (Peru) have joined an online project called Entrenamiento Online elite (Online Elite Training, or EO as its acronyme in Spanish) powered by the marathon runner Jesús Ademir Sosa Valdiviezo, who is also a sports coach and promoter. There are plans for the initiative to expand to Spain.

The EO premise comes from the cloistering sensation and the stress provocated by the pandemic fact what many times impact on the body, and that does not bring benefits to health. The project looks for helping the people with the best online sports advisory, on live training, physical activity programs designed to provide relaxation, resistance, muscular power, and flexibility. It also provides an evaluation  for high-performance feeding and all tips you need to have a healthy life.

“Most people want to keep fit and have a healthy lifestyle, so I’ve created entrenamiento Online Elite interested to reach the folks who don’t go to a gym regularily, because they don’t have time or their daily jobs don’t allow to do a routine for keeping fit and also due to the gyms won’t open this year because they are the main Covid-19 infection hotspots,” Jesús Sosa sustained.

The reknown runner referred this has been a great opportunity: “This lockdown is very hard for everybody, however we also know  it’s a pretty good opportunity to grow, feel, dream of… To me, this crisis has been the opportunity to start up this project I was postponing so many times and the truth is that I’m very happy to contribute positively in the life of persons.”

“I want you to know of the physical activity importance as healthy habit for avoiding the sedentarism, and like an essential factor to fight the stress generated by the social isolating situation because of Covid-19,” he added.

How the Online elite Training works on

The live training is from Monday to Friday at 8:30 pm. (0130 GMT) on a Facebook private group. Sosa thinks it’s a comfortable time for everybody because someones study and others work, so the classes keep recorded and they can train later by watching the live webcasting at the time they prefer.

The athlete noticed that, for example, there are nurses during the online training, and sometimes they , when having an overnight turn, train the next day, but they don’t leave to complete their routine. And other guys who also study, if they struck on the schedule, train later the same way. The idea is not losing the continuity. All the pupuls are followed up by WhatsApp according to their goal, whether increasing muscular mass, decreasing fat index, or simply keeping healthy.

“I’d invite all the people who have the wish to start a healthy life to join this Online Elite Training project,” Jesús Sosa manifested. “Like a pro, I guarantee good results.” For more information, you can contact directly to Jesús Sosa, go to the Online Elite Training (in Spanish), or write him an e-mail.

Who is Jesús Sosa?

He’s worked for Catacaos and La Arena Districts Municipalities, both in Piura Province. He speaks intermediate-level english, by the way.

Jesús is ripped. He’s 5.7 inches, 154 pounds, 10½ in shoes (9½ iin U.K, 44 in the rest of Europe).  In every competition he has participated, he reached one of the 10 first places. His up-to-date personal records (time per distance)are:
