Wednesday 22nd October Briefing

📝 Summary

• 🌅 Fresh Start & Community Reset: The session opens with the host celebrating the decision to close an old WhatsApp group and start anew, emphasizing the energy boost and mental clarity that comes from letting go of outdated or unaligned commitments.

• 💬 Importance of Alignment: Discusses how unnecessary digital clutter (inactive group members, old systems) can weigh down mental energy and productivity. By starting fresh, the community can thrive again with active, engaged participants.

• 💡 Midweek Reflection: Encourages followers to share their “midweek wins” and highlights the theme of “Let it go” — symbolizing the power of decluttering, both digitally and mentally, to create space for business growth.

• 🧠 The Fit Pro Superpower – Building Communities:

  • Fitness professionals excel at bringing people together from diverse backgrounds.

  • Their classes and social groups naturally form communities where people feel supported and inspired.

  • This community-building ability is described as their “superpower” — something that brands struggle to replicate.

• 🎤 Introducing Speaking as a Business Skill:

  • Suggests that fitness professionals expand their brand by becoming wellness speakers.

  • Explains that speaking allows access to new audiences — particularly those who find fitness intimidating or inaccessible.

  • Outlines how to create a signature 20–30 minute talk with a simple structure: introduction, key wellness tips, takeaway points, and a call to action.

  • Encourages starting small with local groups like Women’s Institutes, community wellness clubs, and networking events.

  • Highlights that public speaking strengthens confidence, visibility, and local influence.

• 🗣️ The Power of Practice:

  • Recommends practicing by going live daily on social media with a “wellness tip of the day.”

  • Emphasizes consistency — speaking regularly online develops communication skills and natural confidence for in-person talks.

  • Suggests simple, relatable topics like hydration, nutrition, sleep, and stress management.

• 🌍 AI vs. Human Connection:

  • Acknowledges growing concerns about AI automation and job disruption.

  • Reinforces that community, human connection, and live interaction are irreplaceable — making them crucial assets for future-proofing fitness businesses.

  • Encourages instructors to double down on live events, local groups, and personal interaction.

• 💪 Fitness Professionals as Multi-Dimensional Experts:

  • Encourages using speaking opportunities to build personal brands.

  • Suggests integrating speaking into an overall marketing mix alongside PT, online programs, and community classes.

  • Notes that visuals (photos, short clips from talks) provide excellent content for social media and credibility.

• 💼 Business Expansion Strategies:

  • Develop a clear PT package for November with tiered options:

    • Basic package (e.g., one session per week).

    • Premium or platinum package (adds online sessions, messaging access, or exclusive support).

  • Create seasonal programs like a “November Wellness Challenge” (four-week Facebook or WhatsApp group).

  • Organize candlelight or festive events in December to celebrate the year-end and keep engagement high.

• 📱 Instagram Marketing Tip:

  • Introduces the “Collage” feature on Instagram Stories — allows users to upload multiple photos in a creative, cut-out style.

  • Recommends using it for visual storytelling — especially event recaps or client transformations.

• 🔥 Final Inspiration:

  • Calls on fitness pros to be proactive and adaptable.

  • Encourages embracing speaking, simplifying marketing, and leaning into community-based growth.

  • Ends with high motivation: “Full circle marketing” — where speaking, online programs, events, and social content all feed each other.
