I wonder what the price tag was for people to join the Judds on their retreat this weekend
Wow I just looked at the line up and it only includes one (presumably qualified) sports professional - a personal trainer. There's a dancer on staff but it doesn't say if she has any qualifications to teach, her blurb implies she's a performer. She's listed as a yoga and dance instructor, her bio doesn't mention any credentials or anything about her yoga background which would actually be useful to know when parting with cash
Laughably Izzy is listed
on staff as a 'mindfulness guru'. 'On hand to pass on her extensive knowledge about mindfulness and motherhood'. Please
Motherhood doesn't even fit into the ethos of this retreat so it's a stretch to incorporate it in her bio. None of the men's bios mention parenthood, funny that.
A nice little payday for Izzy, free holiday sans kids (if they're staying home with a grandparent or maybe they're joining them?) and opportunity to keep an eye on Harry
Harry and the other remaining 'staff member' are listed as 'Chief Energy Officer' and 'Chief Organising Officer'
Neither have any qualifications, they're simply sports-bros who like showing off by entering extreme/expensive fitness challenges (and lead the privileged lives to do so) and calling themselves 'fitness advocates'. Again I'm assuming if they had any relevant qualifications they'd be included in their bio, it's a pretty big selling point after all.
I don't know if they're pulling in qualified, insured freelance professionals to teach classes or what. Presumably they're not important enough to merit a mention as part of
the team.
If this is the Judds' schtick going forward they could at least take the time to work towards qualifications in fitness and meditation/mindfulness respectively. I know Harry has McFly and tv presenting work and Izzy has influencing and her mommy nonsense (and ghostwritten books) but plenty of people manage to study part-time on top of their regular jobs. It would make their bios look more authentic. McFly might not even be around in another 5 years, Harry's surely relying on TV presenting work and fitness-influencer stuff. As their kids ultimately age into tweens/teens their family influencer audience will likely dwindle due to the kids' privacy needs and their ages being less marketable. I'm kind of expecting them to foist the kids' sports and music 'talent' on us in nepo way
They have hands-on grandparents and money to book a nanny if studying clashes with family life. I don't think training to become a 'qualified' meditation/mindfulness expert is even that intensive but it would make Izzy look more legitimate - she can't even be bothered to do that (same goes for Harry unless I've got the wrong end of the stick and he's actually studying towards a qualification).
