Who Is YOUR ROCKSTAR INSTRUCTOR?  Who has inspired you to keep going to a class or attend training workshops?  Who inspired you to train as a Fitpro? Who would you fight through traffic or move your schedule around to go to a training with?     New research released by wellness industry pioneer MINDBODY has revealed the impact fitness instructors are having on client retention, as the commodification of ‘star’ trainers continues to transform the industry. According to a study carried out by the wellness tech giant, one in five people (20%) said that PTs or fitness instructors were the most important factor when it came to sticking to a new routine. However, just 4% claimed to have found their ‘star’ instructor In addition, data taken from MINDBODY’s portfolio of gyms and studios revealed just how important the right instructor is when it comes to retention rates  — with studios that employee star trainers far outweighing the average figure The new generation of Group Exercise Instructors amass over a million followers on Instagram, with clients going to great lengths to secure spots in their coveted classes, so unlocking their marketing potential makes good business sense. Who MOTIVATES YOU as a Trainer?   Are You Building Community Around Your Classes? Whether you teach for a gym or centre or in the community cultivating a “Class Community” is so helpful, inspiring and motivating for your participants.  By opening up a private Facebook group you are able to answer questions, help with motivation, post workouts, training ideas and generally support your class members between classes. We are often so busy on the handovers after class has finished that members don’t get the chance to chat with you, so by taking your community on line you can serve your members in a much deeper way. This is huge for retention and the ability to keep members up to date with new information.   Elevate High Performance Coaching My Elevate programme starts on Monday and the group is open and ready to rock for your nutrition, weightloss and wellness programme plus daily business and motivation coaching. You can sign up for September or the full 3 months programme click here for the information.         To read about Step Strong & Stable click here  To Take Your Classes Online click here  New Level 3 Pilates Dates click here    Have a wonderful Thursday  Love Rachel xxx
