Instructor Updates after lockdown news

Instructor Newsletter 2nd November From Rachel Holmes

 

Good Morning

 

It’s an early newsletter after last nights news as I couldn’t sleep. It’s a worrying time for everyone as we all move into another lockdown.

 

If you started your classes online in March and went back to teaching F2F because you lost people who went back to the gym then make a plan today to build your online for November.

 

You may have taken payments for live November/December courses so email everyone and take the course online if you can using ZOOM or a private Facebook group.

 

Offer alternatives to your non-Facebook users:

 

*Open a What’s app group for non-Facebook users.

*An email with your youtube workout links to non -Facebookers.

*Livestream on other platforms like Zoom, Youtube (from your desk top), Microsoft Teams, Blue Jeans, Twitch – there are many alternatives for non-Facebookers.

 

A Facebook group is the easiest way to get your clients together in one place.

 

Consider live streaming from your own website. With a Wix website you can livestream easily and build a library of your workouts in your own digital home.

A Wix website is also a drag and drop style site that you could build with little tech knowledge.

You totally can do this. 100%

 

 

 

What To Do Today.

Reach out to your community via email, Whats app, Text, Facebook messenger or however you communicate with your clients and make sure they are all OK with the news, offer a free pass for people to try your online studio, send a few pre recorded workouts for them to be getting on with as you plan the week ahead.

 

Have a Weekly Theme

My theme this week is UPLIFTING workouts. Using group exercise for physical health AND mental health.

Can you create a theme to help bring your community together?

 

Be Visible

 

Go Live on your main page (Facebook, IG, YT or all 3) as often as you can at the same time to build consistency. This will help grow your page and increase your followers.

 

 

Be Positive.

I know things look bleak but surround yourself with positive vibes, try not to watch the news too much or engage in negativity on Facebook as it affects your own mental health very quickly.
You soon start to feel hopeless and get into the “whats the point” and “no one is going to do my online classes” mentality.

 

And that’s not true. They do.

Your clients want to see YOUR smiling positive face.

In a sea of uncertainty. Your Clients want YOU.

Step Up.

Be Brave and Courageous and Cultivate that ” Can Do” attitude.

Protect your energy and protect your Brain.

 

 

Keep It Fresh.

 

Work on a week to week timetable for November. Add new classes, try fusion workouts, collaborate with other Fitpro friends, bring back old formats and try new formats.

20/30/40/45/60/90minute classes – Pick and Mix.
