Setting the class up smoothly.
Educating our members on why we are doing what we are doing.

Packing the equipment away.
Team catch ups to work on our coaching.
Professional development.
Reflecting and unpacking every session afterwards.
There's nothing random about instructing a class. Behind the scenes, and while we're coaching, every single decision has a purpose behind it. Every rep, every cue has a reason why.
We throw a lot of time and thought into our classes - that's why it's so fulfilling to watch the programs come to life and to see clients building and growing. Proud is an understatement. 💙
