Today we’d like to introduce you to Michelle and Sean Clark.
Sean and Michelle Clark are the owners of Double Dutch Aerobics. Michelle being a world champion in Double Dutch had the idea of starting an adult Double Dutch Class. After seeing how good of a teacher and jumper Michelle was Sean encouraged her to start the class the next week. After the response from the audience Sean being a serial entrepreneur wanted to make Double Dutch Aerobics a full time business. 5 years later the business is only growing to new heights daily. Double Dutch Aerobics teaches everyone to jump Double Dutch in less than 1 minute guaranteed. Double Dutch Aerobics offers adult classes, children’s programs, they teach at birthday parties, health fairs, and prisons. They offer Double Dutch Aerobics certification once a year with the goal of having Double Dutch Aerobics instructors all world the world.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
One of the hardest parts is getting people to believe that we can teach anyone in less than one minute. I am a world champion in Double Dutch and Sean is a master instructor and no one has been taught by masters like that. What we explain to people is your cousin, Auntie, best friend who tried to teach you were not instructors. People more and more after a million testimonials and seeing us in action are starting to understand.
Another obstacle was people understanding the value after just seeing it as a game girls played. That was hard in the beginning because people would just ask us to “come out”. A good way to look at is your cousin can tell jokes but if you want Kevin Hart to come to come out and tell jokes you have to pay. We are professionals at what we do, in addition to being professionals as the ropes we are professionals at people. Sean and are married and the love that we feel for each other and joyous business makes jumping with us a joyful and remarkable experience. As we grow more and more people do understand what we bring to the table but the entire word doesn’t know yet so we have a lot more to do.
Double Dutch Aerobics – what should we know? What do you do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
Taught and Created by Double Dutch World Champion Michelle Clark and Master instructor Sean Clark, Double Dutch Aerobics is a formatted program that combines Double Dutch with over 60 exercises and an infinite amount of combinations that are all executed inside the ropes. We’ve taught over 100,000 people how to jump double dutch which is why there is no experience necessary to take our workshop. With our teaching system, ALL of our instructors are trained to teach ANYONE how to jump in less than ONE minute GUARANTEED!
Sean and Michelle are also are parents of two of the most amazing humans on the planet. Sean Clark jr. 2 and Phoenix 1. This is a family business so the children are apart of the brand. They both turn and Phoenix turned Double Dutch at eight months and went viral which got us on the Wendy Williams show.
We are most proud of sharing our full journey. Juicing is the reason why we were able to get pregnant and why we stay as healthy as we are. So we wrote an eBook on juicing and every three months we host a ten days juice cleanse. The result have been life-changing for people. So we are a life and fitness brand and that we are very proud of.
What is “success” or “successful” for you?
Our markers of success is leaving an impact. We have parents write us explaining that our program has helped their child with their anxiety, we have adults cry on us because they never learned to jump Double Dutch as children and we taught them in less than one minute.We have people lose weight with our program, find friends, etc. etc. We have teachers that have added a new source of income to their lives. People write to us sharing how we give them hope. That kind of feedback pumps us up to do more effect more people, share more and get our program to everyone across the world. Our plans are to also be so financially successful so that our reach can go even further.
