Coach360

One more sneak peek of a few of our extraordinary award recipients before we celebrate them all next week 👀🎉 Grateful and inspired to work alongside some of the brightest leaders in the health and fitness industry! From Life Time Inc. which provides career growth opportunities for trainers, to celebrity trainers like Corey Calliet who leverage their platforms to bring accessible fitness to underserved communities, and the trailblazing work being done by BODYBAR Pilates, the future of health and fitness is bright. Coach360 is proud to stand alongside these incredible brands and professionals who are paving the way for today’s fitness leaders and, ultimately, a healthier planet. I look forward to seeing friends and colleagues next week at Health & Fitness Association (formerly IHRSA) where we can celebrate together in our shared impactful mission. Let’s Go! 🎉💪🔥

Always a pleasure for Coach360 to sit down with Jack Thomas to discuss the common pitfalls in the Trainer-to-Owner transition. 🏋️♂️ The Training Trap: New owners often get stuck on the training floor, limiting their growth. While it feels safe, spending too much time training prevents development of crucial business skills. 💸 Financial Misunderstandings: New owners are often unprepared for the financial challenges of starting a business, facing stress and income loss while trying to grow their brand. ⚙️ System Deficit: Passion-driven businesses often lack essential systems like sales processes and marketing plans, slowing growth. 💪 The Ego Obstacle: Confidence is essential for starting a business, but unchecked ego can hinder progress by preventing self-awareness of knowledge gaps. ❤️ Mission Misalignment: Passion for fitness isn’t enough. A successful business requires a mission focused on sharing that passion and making it accessible to others (we agree!)

With Health & Fitness Association (formerly IHRSA) just a week away, I’m reflecting on the extraordinary fitness professionals, leaders, owners, and operators I’ve met over the past 17 years of my career. I’ve been to this event representing 4 different organizations over the span of my time in this industry, and as I return to represent my own company, Coach360, I couldn’t think of a better way to show up, than host an event to honor those leaders and organizations who are transforming the future of our industry by uplifting and supporting those at the heart of our club and studio communities…those who support the staff and professionals who prioritize careers as opposed to quick fill jobs. Excited to share a sneak peek at just a few of our esteemed winners who are award recipients on merit alone. We can’t wait to celebrate our industry next week and share the other 16 winners at our exclusive event to honor these trailblazers 🎉💪💚 Not all superhero’s wear capes 🦹🦸♀️ stay tuned for the rest.
