Many folks will begin or return to exercise in the coming weeks and it is crucial that fitness professionals be ready to ensure their success. In this workshop, we’ll discuss the 10 ways fitness professionals can engage these participants with intention and care in their classes and sessions.

This workshop will help GMs and Fitness Managers have a deeper understanding of the needs of new exercisers in fitness spaces. We’ll discuss the comprehensive member experience and how new exercisers are impacted by our marketing, operations, communication, customer service, and programming. I’ll provide specific action items that will help you deliver more intentional care for your members, which will positively affect their experience and adherence and your retention.

The most important client you’ll ever work with is a new exerciser. Fitness settings can be intimidating, unwelcoming, and even scary for many new exercisers. When Personal Trainers deeply understand this crucial experience, they can use an intentional plan of action to greatly enhance the client experience.

In this workshop, we’ll acknowledge the challenges new exercisers experience in fitness spaces. Anchored in behavior change theory, I'll provide a step-by-step guide on how to best create successful experiences.

This workshop won't include standard elements like programming or rapport. Instead, we'll examine the small nuances that make up the experience: the aspects that create belonging, the operational flow of a session, and our own biases that get in the way—giving you an intentional plan of action to enhance their self-efficacy, support adherence and provide an exceptional experience to new exerciser’s.
