She gives action-packed classes to high school girls, college age girls, and women of all ages, both in the UK and in the USA.

Why are Chava’s classes so popular? Because Chava brings to every class a rare combination of professionalism, enthusiasm, inspiring encouragement, clear instructions, heartfelt concern for every participant, a witty English sense of humour, a constant smile, and a unique style of motivation. She creates an upbeat, “can-do”, atmosphere that empowers each and every participant to fulfil their individual exercise potential. At the same time, her classes are fun and a great time out.

Another of Chava’s endeavours to make exercise accessible to as many women and girls as possible, is her famous audio exercise CD, "Aerobics and Body Conditioning Workout with Chava Goldman". Released in January 2006, it has sold thousands of copies and is well into its fifth printing. (See Aerobics & Body Conditioning CD) To this end, due to popular demand, Chava has created (Dec 2008) her second CD "Jewish Aerobics 1 with Chava Goldman", this time with great Jewish music. (See Jewish Aerobics 1 CD)Now well into its thrd printing.

Most recently Chava has began reaching out to the younger generation as her young children's classes have become very popular. These include classes for special needs children. These classes were the impetus behind Chava's newest project a fun exercise CD for kids. Released Nov 2009. (See Chava Goldman for Kids CD.)

Experienced Exercise Teacher 

Chava trains qualified Aerobic Instructors in Antenatal and Postnatal exercise and delivers advanced choreography workshops. Once again she combines that unique combination of professionalism and expertise in her subject with a genuine warmth and concern for every one of her students.

Her skills as an educator have left an indelible mark on her students that has extended way beyond the classroom.

Chava's newest endeavor is to create top quality, highly professional Group Exercise to Music Instructors through her School of Exercise. These young ladies will be highly trained and only receive their Chava Goldman School of Exercise certificate upon successful completion of a very rigorous course directly under Chava's supervision.

Since then the course has become extremely popular, and many graduates are already working all over the world.

Personal

Her Real Qualifications 

But if you'll ask Chava, she’ll tell you that her real qualification for creating her book, exercise CD, magazine, and this website, is that she was there…

Chava jokes that she was born twenty- eight pounds overweight and just never managed to lose them. She tried every diet going. She even tried her own thing (starvation) and just as soon as she managed to reach her goal, she put it all back on again. She was sometimes thirty pounds overweight, sometimes fifty pounds overweight — at one point, she even reached sixty-four pounds overweight.

Throughout her youth and into her early years of marriage, Chava Goldman was the perennial yo-yo dieter. On a diet, off a diet, on-off, on-off for years. If there was a report card for effort in weight loss Chava claims that she would have received straight As. But where it mattered most — to get it off and keep it off — she was a dismal failure.

Looking back, Chava understands what the problem was. She was never missing the will and desire to lose the weight — just the knowledge and real understanding of how to diet. She read books, she asked people, but in the end, the clarity just wasn’t there. Until one day, she said, “Enough is enough,” and set out to thoroughly research the entire subject of dieting and diets.

Her book "How to Succeed on Any Diet! A Jewish and Friendly Guide to Dieting & Exercise" is the culmination of that research, which involved a decade-long journey.

At about the same time as she started her diet research, a friend persuaded Chava to go to an aerobics class. Chava remembers vividly that she didn’t want to go. After all, for her entire life, exercise had just made her hot and sweaty and had given her migraines. Her friend quite literally had to drag her to the class. But to Chava’s great surprise, this beginner’s class turned out to be a lot of fun. She was hooked. So hooked, in fact, that she went on to become a qualified aerobics instructor and create her own classes. The rest, as they say, is history.

With her increased awareness of weight loss management and exercise, Chava began to lose those stubborn pounds. And as the pounds came off and stayed off, a burning desire grew inside her to share her newly found secrets with anyone who would listen. To that aim, she became a qualified Weight Management Consultant, started her own Weight Loss Group, began to write a weekly column on diet and exercise, and eventually, “top-secretly,” began to write her book, produce her CD, create her magazine, and finally, design this website.

So, if you'll ask…Why did Chava do it all? The answer is simple, but we'll let Chava tell it to you in her own words.


Chava Says 

I want to share with you, all that I have learned on my long, hard journey into the world of dieting and exercise. I want you to have the knowledge and the tools that I wished I’d had when I first started out so many years and pounds ago. I want to save you from the pitfalls, stumbling blocks, annoyances, aggravations, and disappointments, that I went through over and over again. And, most of all, now that I have made it and have tasted the sweet joy of being the shape and size that I really want to be, I want you to be able to get there and stay there as well.

If all these endeavours help just one person live a healthier, happier, longer life, then it will all have been worthwhile. I hope that person will be you.
