I was actually offered a spot to dj a fitness club in April. Thought it was a cool idea, but didn’t realize it was trendy.

Actually my main dj revenu these days are fitness competitions. I mix in crossfit competitions. These are pretty fun to do because I get to mix all kinds of stuff…going from rammstein -du hast to some dirty hip hop beats to certain styles of dubstep. I really have a blast doing this…I also get to see some super fit ladies in tight workout pants! 🙂

The hours are great! work afternoons and get paid a shitload of cash for those events and you still get to play in front of 700-800 people every day.

I saw this thread a few weeks ago and thought I might add the following tidbit…

My spouse is a Personal Trainer at Sport & Health and, in addition to her individual clients, she teaches a TRX class once a week. Her clients at the TRX class had been after her for new workout music – so she enlisted me to provide a custom mix.

She wanted 140 BPM – so here I am combing my library for anything at that tempo – ended up with a Trance mix with one or two Hard Dance tracks, thrown in for good measure, ranging from 133 – 140 BPM over the course of a sixty minutes. Great practice for me and her clients are happy. The only downside is no immediate feedback – only my wife telling me “yeah, they liked it.”

Putting together the next mix for her class by end of the month – hope to knock one out at least every other month, or more often, and maybe get some word of mouth generated at Sport & Health.
