I'm excited to be bringing Ingrid Knight-Cohee back for more!

She's been kind enough to preview some highlights from her upcoming session, "GROW Your Classes!" coming up at IDEA World 2024. We will review how to use the classic GROW coaching model developed by Sir John Whitmore and apply it to your fitness class programming. Typically, the Goal of any class is to increase participation rates and keep current members happy. The Reality is not so easy – what are your limitations and challenges? We will explore viable Options to get your classes and business to where you want it to be. Where there’s a Will …there’s a way!

Ingrid will also share more about her own format, MSINGI Movement, the first of its kind Afrocentric functional movement practice.

Here are the questions I ask Ingrid:

1) Please describe the GROW acronym.
2) What examples and strategies can you provide managers to support instructors in growing their classes?
3) You've created and launched a new format, MSINGI! Please share more about the format and how it can increase class attendance from an instructor's and manager's perspective.

As a fitness leader, have you tried or ever considered planning a retreat?

They may be on trend, but without the right process and purpose, they can cost your business significant time and money. I'm excited to have Erin Wimert of Panacea Retreats retreat planning advisor, who's eager to share what separates a fitness retreat from a vacation and how to get started either on your own or working with her to take some of the stress away with everything else you have on your plate.

Here are the questions I ask Erin:

1) Who are the common clients you've worked with when planning retreats?

2) What are the important components of a fitness retreat that set it apart, and what are common mistakes you see studios or instructors make when planning one?

3) How can someone get started with the most support, either by doing this on their own or working with you on a retreat?

Peloton is back in the news, and the news isn't good once again. There have been thousands of layoffs, the company is seeking to find yet another CEO, and it is still dealing with lawsuits from the past.

In this special episode, Shannon Fable and I unpack our thoughts on...

- Where virtual as a whole is headed.
- How fitness managers must view the overall product they provide.
- Emphasize the distinct and purposeful programming differences between Apple Fitness+ and Peloton.

How does the above all relate to fitness managers and owners? Listen in to find out!

What are your thoughts? We are genuinely curious.
