Triple-A

Principles

  Mission Statement

The American Aerobic Association, Triple-A, is an international fitness organization commited to the development of the fitness enthusiast as well as the fitness professional through affordable, practical, accessible educational programs and competitive fitness events, offered in a friendly and supportive environment.

 Philosophy

Triple-A is an international organization that fosters and promotes a greater quality of life through total wellness. We use the term "wellness" instead of "fitness" because we believe the term fitness does not describe complete health, only physical health, one of the three "planes of health." To achieve overall total wellness, one must be healthy in mind, body and spirit. Many older people tend to be healthy in spirit, but perhaps less so in body and mind. Younger people are often healthy in body but not in spirit or mind. Triple-A fosters the belief that the triad of all three working in unison will help each of us to improve the quality of our lives.

MIND - Triple-A hosts international educational seminars throughout the world. We bring to each community the latest advances in physical education. However, without the theoretical background, practical applications can become dangerous in misinformed hands.

BODY - Not only do we teach our members how to train others more efficiently, we help them to achieve their personal fitness goals as well. This is achieved by the creation of our International SportDance Championship. Each of these events allows the fitness professional, as well as the fitness enthusiast an opportunity to attain greater levels of wellness in friendly competition.

SPIRIT - In addition to the above, we support "internal wellness." Internal wellness is a term developed by Triple-A, but the concept is actually borrowed from eastern culture. Spirituality, meditation, internal peace, and the spreading of that internal peace through the external expression of love and joy throughout the entire world is truly what Triple-A is about. Communication in this manner will improve the quality of your life because you are helping to improve the quality of life for those around you.
