FCM123: How to Step Up as a Leader for Your Community With Michael and Paden Hughes

We need leaders in the fitness industry right now. We’re hearing
scary statistics that up to 40% of studios will not re-open
coming out of quarantine, and with how important fitness is to
the physical and mental health of our communities, this is
incredibly disheartening news. For many it’s come as a result of
not knowing how to pivot or respond to being required to shut our
doors. Perhaps you are one of them.


The question you must ask yourself is how are you leading your
community through this time and providing stability? Our clients
have been in a state where they’re freaking out because there is
a vastly changing landscape out there and they’re being told
their dollars matter and need to be conserved, but at the same
time, they’re in a position where their mental and physical
health has never mattered more.


To step into the role of a leader we need to realize that this is
more than about fitness now. You are their sanity, there to give
them hope and positivity. Focus on that more than the physical.


In this episode we hear from two shining leaders in the industry
who literally put on imaginary viking armor and stepped into the
unknown knowing that their guiding light was the knowledge that
what they have to offer is of value, and the love they have for
their clients.


Ultimately we learn that their greatest secret- a positive
attitude and problem-solver mindset. This pandemic has rocked all
of our businesses but there will always be unexpected setbacks,
and we hope that this episode serves as inspiration for how we
can approach the uncertain when it comes knocking.
