FCM191: Unlocking The Mysteries of the Group Fitness Manager Role with Staci Alden

In this episode, we are diving into the role of the group fitness
manager, which in almost 300 episodes is a topic that we haven’t
really touched on before... and yet it was one of the most vital
- albeit mysterious - roles of any club or studio.


 


We know that if you are a studio owner, you may be performing
this role yourself. OR if you’re looking to hire someone to fill
this position, where do you even begin? As you’ll quickly learn
in this episode, there is no roadmap or playbook for a group
fitness manager and the  job can be dense and intense.


 


But it’s also really dynamic, exciting, and fulfilling and if
you’re a fitpro listening to our podcast you might be thinking,
what opportunities lie in my future when I don’t want to teach
10-15 classes a week anymore, where can my experience take my
career in fitness. If you’ve ever had dreams of becoming a group
fitness manager, as Shay once did, this episode is also for you.
We break down what the role really entails, the qualities
necessary to be successful, tips to stay organized, how to
effectively communicate to stakeholders, and ultimately make a
really complicated job, seem less complicated while avoiding
burnout and feeling fulfilled in what can be an all-consuming
role,
