Team Management
Managing a group fitness team is an exercise in remote control.
80% of the management of your team will not be face to face. For the majority of your team, group fitness will be a second job or an addition to study or parenting.
- So how do you make that work?
- How do you engage the team with each other and create buy-in for your club?
- How do you foster enough care-factor to ensure your group fitness program is professional and high quality?
The answer is – you create a fitness family. You build a tribal team connection which surpasses all these challenges. You do this with communication – honest, transparent and regular. Use all the platforms available to you – email, social media, face to face, public, private.
