“I am a music lover...I was a fitness instructor, but also a part-time DJ.” “...Streaming is here to stay….at least for a while.” - Denise Imbesi

In Episode 169 of The Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, the Two Fit Crazies have an awesome conversation with the founder of Muscle Mixes Music, Denise Imbesi. Denise shares what it was like growing up in Brooklyn working as both a fitness instructor and a part-time DJ in the 1980’s. Her love for music and fitness soon inspired her to create her own music mixing company, Muscle Mixes Music. Three decades later, Denise is an established “heavy hitter” in the fitness music industry. From tapes, to CD’s, to digital downloads, to the launch of an APP, Denise talks about the importance of evolving with the times and the importance of using music as motivation. She also reveals particularly important information regarding licensing rights and policies when playing music on social media platforms and beyond. Listen carefully as Denise discusses the do’s and don'ts of music licensing as well as how to create and buy your own music to build your classes or to sell and make a profit. Music is a driving force for fit pros, athletes, gym goers and more, so it is crucial to educate yourself about the rights to use non-licensed and licensed music as a part of your fitness business. Muscle Mixes Music is an awesome resource for its extensive libraries of music and Denise is ready to help you get started today! Check it out!

Episode 86 

Colin Dingelstad - Beyond Social Conditioning, Owner/Director - Swalmen, Netherlands   

“Just do something! Try something simple...celebrate it!”  -Colin Dingelstad   

In Episode 86, the Two Fit Crazies took a trip to the Netherlands! We wish!  Instead, we had a great interview via ZOOM with an amazing transformational coach by the name of Colin Dingelstad. Colin joined us live from Swalmen in the Netherlands to share his story and perspective about the current state of health and fitness. Colin, a very successful transformational coach and owner of Beyond Social Conditioning, first became interested in learning about successful habits and improving “the self” while reading self-help books as a teenager. Although his goal at the time was to score more dates, his passion for improving the quality of life for himself and others was long-lasting. In this episode, Colin revealed his own “secrets to success” by going “beyond social conditioning” with each of his clients. He asks them to reflect deeply about their life through analyzing their movement, health, mindset, and more.  While Colin speaks about the current state of fitness and health in the Netherlands and the U.K., his messages about the importance of laughing, smiling, and happiness, are universal!
