【Complete Guide】What is Pre-Choreographed Exercise?

This time, MITSURU will share in detail everything he knows about “Pre-Choreographed Programs.”

🔥 Introduction of Pre-Choreographed Programs to Japan and Their Impact

About 20 years ago, a concept known as “Pre-Choreographed Programs” from overseas was introduced to Japan.
As a result, it quickly gained explosive popularity, and today, the number of instructors offering original lessons has drastically decreased.

This is because pre-choreographed programs appear throughout the weekly studio schedule.

My main competitors over the years have been the “Pre-Choreographed Dance” programs,
although there are also various other styles such as martial arts-based, barbell-based, and yoga-based programs.

In short, pre-choreographed programs have become “an essential part” of studio operations in sports clubs and have deeply permeated the scene over the past 20 years.

❓ What Exactly is a Pre-Choreographed Program? Why So Popular?

As someone who has never followed pre-choreographed systems, MITSURU will thoroughly analyze and break it down.

💡 Definition of Pre-Choreographed Programs

A pre-choreographed program is an “exercise program” where the choreography is already completed in advance.

  • “Pre” = “in advance”

  • “Choreography” = “planned movements or dance routine”

Instructors conduct classes by following the provided music and choreography manual.

📋 Examples of Pre-Choreographed Programs

Here are some of the most common pre-choreographed programs found in sports clubs:

【Dance-based】

ZUMBA®
Ritmos®
RADICAL FITNESS (UBOUND®, MEGADANZ®, etc.)

【Martial arts-based】

BODYCOMBAT®

【Strength training-based】

BODYPUMP®

【Aerobics-based】

Group Power®
MOSSA FIGHT®

※ These are just a few examples; there are many more available.

✅ Benefits of Pre-Choreographed Programs (From the Sports Club’s Perspective)

① Consistent Program Quality
→ High-quality programs developed by headquarters can be experienced in any instructor’s class.

② Easy for Beginners to Join
→ Some programs feature simple and easy-to-remember movements.

③ Synchronization of Music and Movement
→ Exercises are structured to be effective and enjoyable with the music.

④ Reduced Burden on Instructors
→ No need to create choreography, allowing instructors to focus on teaching and supporting participants.

⑤ Regular Updates
→ The content and music are updated regularly, making it less likely to become boring.

⚠️ Disadvantages of Pre-Choreographed Programs

① Difficult for Instructors to Express Individuality
→ Because the choreography is predetermined, instructors have limited room for creativity or customization.

② Difficult to Adjust for Participants’ Levels
→ Since the class progresses as a fixed program, it can be hard to make fine adjustments for individual fitness levels or needs.

③ Lacks Spontaneity and Flexibility
→ Unlike freestyle classes, it’s difficult to adapt the lesson content to match the mood or reactions of the participants.

📝 Conclusion

Pre-choreographed programs have become a standard offering in sports clubs and
there is a wide variety to choose from.

It is highly recommended to try out various programs based on your interests and fitness level!

【Umfassende Erklärung】Was ist ein Pre-Choreografie-Programm?

In diesem Beitrag wird MITSURU alles, was er über "Pre-Choreografie" weiß, ausführlich erklären.

🔥 Einführung von Pre-Choreografie in Japan und deren Auswirkungen

Vor etwa 20 Jahren wurde ein Konzept namens „Pre-Choreografie“ aus dem Ausland in Japan eingeführt.
In der Folge wurde es rasend populär, und heute hat die Zahl der Trainer, die eigene Originalkurse anbieten, drastisch abgenommen.

Das liegt daran, dass Pre-Choreografie-Programme überall im Wochenplan der Studios auftauchen.

Meine Hauptkonkurrenz waren bislang die Pre-Choreografie-Tanzprogramme,
obwohl es auch viele andere Arten wie Kampfsport-, Langhantel- und Yoga-Programme gibt.

Mit anderen Worten: Pre-Choreografie hat sich in den letzten 20 Jahren zu einem unverzichtbaren Bestandteil des Studioangebots in Fitnessclubs entwickelt.

❓ Was ist Pre-Choreografie eigentlich? Warum ist es so beliebt?

Da MITSURU nie Teil des Pre-Choreografie-Systems war, analysiert er es detailliert und beleuchtet sein wahres Wesen.

💡 Definition von Pre-Choreografie

Ein Pre-Choreografie-Programm ist ein Trainingsprogramm, bei dem die Choreografie im Voraus fertiggestellt ist.

  • „Pre“ = „im Voraus“

  • „Choreografie“ = „Tanz- oder Bewegungsabfolge“

Der/die Trainer*in führt den Kurs anhand der vorgegebenen Musik und des Choreografie-Handbuchs durch.

📋 Beispiele für Pre-Choreografie-Programme

Hier sind einige der bekanntesten Pre-Choreografie-Programme, die häufig in Fitnessstudios zu finden sind:

【Tanzbasiert】

ZUMBA®
Ritmos®
RADICAL FITNESS (UBOUND®, MEGADANZ® usw.)

【Kampfsportbasiert】

BODYCOMBAT®

【Krafttraining】

BODYPUMP®

【Aerobic-basiert】

Group Power®
MOSSA FIGHT®

※ Es gibt noch viele weitere Programme – hier sind nur einige Beispiele aufgeführt.

✅ Vorteile von Pre-Choreografie-Programmen (aus Sicht der Fitnessstudios)

① Stabile Programmqualität
→ Hochwertige Inhalte, die vom Hauptsitz entwickelt wurden, können in jedem Kurs gleich umgesetzt werden.

② Einsteigerfreundlich
→ Es gibt Programme mit einfachen, leicht erlernbaren Bewegungen.

③ Harmonie von Musik und Bewegung
→ Effektives Training passend zur Musik ist möglich.

④ Weniger Belastung für Trainer*innen
→ Da keine eigene Choreografie entwickelt werden muss, kann man sich voll auf das Anleiten und Unterstützen konzentrieren.

⑤ Regelmäßige Updates
→ Inhalte und Musik werden regelmäßig aktualisiert – so wird es nicht langweilig.

⚠️ Nachteile von Pre-Choreografie-Programmen

① Wenig Raum für Individualität der Trainer*innen
→ Durch die festgelegte Choreografie ist die kreative Freiheit eingeschränkt.

② Schwierig, auf das Niveau der Teilnehmenden einzugehen
→ Da der Kurs für alle gleich abläuft, ist eine individuelle Anpassung manchmal kaum möglich.

③ Wenig Spontaneität und Flexibilität
→ Anders als im Freestyle ist es schwierig, spontan auf die Stimmung im Raum einzugehen.

📝 Fazit

Pre-Choreografie-Programme sind inzwischen ein Standardangebot in Fitnessstudios
und es gibt eine große Vielfalt davon.

Es ist sehr empfehlenswert, je nach Interesse und Fitnesslevel verschiedene Programme auszuprobieren!

The following is written in German. This time, I will talk about the “WORST CASE SCENARIO” , the opposite of the "best case" discussed in the previous post. This is valuable information you’ll want to know — please read on! ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝ 【WHAT IS THE WORST CASE SCENARIO?】 ＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝ It becomes a “VIDEO LESSON.” A video lesson is a class format in which participants watch pre-recorded sessions or video content to learn. MITSURU is currently contracted with seven major fitness club chains , and I regularly hear customer feedback onsite. I’ve never heard anyone say they’re satisfied with video lessons. When I directly asked those who actually take them, they told me: “That’s the only option during my limited time at the club, so I do it reluctantly.” Apparently, the reasons for introducing video lessons include: ・“I can’t keep up with regular lessons” ・“I’m embarrassed to be seen by others” ・“I’m not comfortable with large group classes” For people who f...
