The Fitness Music Solution You Need to Know About
November 30, 2021 09:00 - 44 minutes - 30.3 MBMusic is such an important part of teaching Group Fitness. It should be fun, inspiring and help people lose themselves in a class.

How to Create Meaningful In-Class Connections
September 28, 2021 11:00 - 45 minutes - 31.3 MBOn this week’s solo episode, I'm talking about a topic that I get asked frequently by instructors.

What's Your Instructor Superpower?
March 30, 2021 08:00 - 16 minutes - 11.2 MBIn a world with almost unlimited options for fitness, the one thing that you have to differentiate yourself is that you're unique.

The BIG Thing Many Group Fitness Classes Are Lacking
March 16, 2021 09:00 - 14 minutes - 9.92 MBThis week on the podcast, Will talks about a principle that is close to his heart and forms a big part of his approach to fitness. That principle is novelty. Novelty, by definition, is the quality of being new, original or unusual and is incredibly important if you want to train for longevity in fitness. But it’s also a concept that is often lacking in Group Fitness classes. Now, in the Instagram age, the term ‘novelty’ can sometimes foster negative connotations - think fit-fluencers who d...

It's harder to get people in. And it's more of a struggle than ever for instructors t...
