  • The Trainers Tribe 018 - Workshop Recap
    In this episode we share why we decided to log off from just doing online work and organise some live face-to-face training.
    We cover what went right, what went wrong and we also share some big news on what's going to happen next.
    Doing these workshops proved to us that there are other trainers out there that share our vision of a more fun, accessible, positive fitness industry.
    We've put our minds together to create an easy to follow way for you, awesome trainer, to take what we're teaching and apply it to your bootcamp.
    I'm talking about running sessions that get talked about by your campers, simplifying everything so you can focus on what you love (training people) and building not just a business, but a thriving community that loves spending time together.
    We'll be back running workshops in early 2017, and we're upgrading them to give you all of these tools and to help you become a TeamFit Coach.

    Find out how to set up a professionally looking newsletter, with great ideas on what to fill it with that will help build community, bring back old clients or subscribers who are yet to train with you.
    Dale vulnerably shares from his personal email list journey: how he got to where he's currently at, and the next step he's taking to run even more efficiently and link his various social media platforms.
    Find out about the power of Integration, Automation & Zapier and how far it's all come since 2006.

  • The Trainers Tribe 016 - Comfort Zone Challenge

    What are you avoiding doing that you’re afraid to do?

    We all have these and instead of doing them we dance around them with ‘busy’ work which holds us back from achieving and doing what we really want.

    In this week’s episode Dale and I share stories about how doing something we feared ended paying off big for both of us.

    Then we dive into how to make those big scary things you want to do more manageable and achievable so you can stack the odds in your favour. Sometimes the sheer size of a project can seem overwhelming.

    Have a listen to this episode hear our advice.

  • The Trainers Tribe 012 - Outsourcing
    Want to learn how to plan and run awesome sessions for your clients? Dale and I are running a one day workshop this November in Melbourne to show trainers just that. Find out more.
    ###
    What is outsourcing? Dale describes it as:
    ‘Outsourcing is where I hire someone to do things that I struggle with or lack the skill altogether to do.’
    Outsourcing helps you round out your business and free up more time to do the things that only you can do. In this episode we explore all aspects of outsourcing from hiring people overseas to do a specific task to hiring trainers to expand your business.
    Some take aways from this episode are:
    Between the two of us we use outsourcing for graphic design, web development, app design, social media and podcast editing.
    There is a learning curve, so take the time to train up your hirelings properly.
    Don’t always use the cheapest! This can lead to the most headaches.
    Hire slow, fire fast.
    Instead of employing someone, think of a project (it must be reasonably challenging) they can do with you as a one off. Then based on that you can rehire them for a longer project or let them go.
    For most employees, skills are less important than how they fit into the culture of your business. If you don’t know what your business is about, figure that out before you hire anyone.
    You can pay your trainers two ways, flat fee or share in profits/per client. If you can get someone with a business mindset, the latter always works better.

  • The Trainers Tribe 011 - Vanessa Birch
    Have you ever wondered why some bootcamps just seem to grow organically? How they become not just a group fitness business, but a mini movement?
    In today’s episode Kyle catches up with someone who’s done just that. Vanessa Birch is the co-founder of Momentum Bootcamps in Singapore. In just two years Momentum has grown to 10 trainers, 17 sessions and 150-200 clients coming through per week.
    In addition to that, they’ve just arranged a deal with PayPal Singapore to do corporate training with them.
    So how does this happen? Is it all luck?
    At a glance it might appear that way, but as we dive in to today’s interview you’ll start seeing some patterns.
    Momentum and Vanessa have a clear purpose and the way she’s measures success is deeply personal. They look after their team who in turn looks after their clients.
    When stuff hits the fan, they ask questions like ‘What can I learn from this?’. They also allow space for lives to fit into the business.
    We also talk about running a business with a partner, being a Mum and a business owner, social media, marketing and more.
    “Success is 100% from the community we’ve formed.”

  • The Trainers Tribe 008 - About Time
    In this episode we are going to talk About Time. No, not the fabulous movie starring Rachel McAdams and Domhnal Gleeson (although I’d love to chat about movies!) we’re going to be talking about the time you have each and every day.
    I loved listening back to this episode because Dale and I are in quite different places with time. I have quite a lot of time and often find myself battling with problems around that where as Dale has a full time job and a full time business and often find himself quite time poor (headed on the way to burn out as he puts it).
    Most new trainers are in the same boat as Dale. It’s challenging to earn a full time wage right after becoming qualified so we tend to work a job and run our training stuff on the side.
    The problem is, as Dale points out, that when we get busy our diet, training and other important things go out the window which isn’t a great thing for people whose job it is to get other people to focus on these things.
    However, take time out for yourself is one of the best things you can do for the other people in your life.
    Dale tells us about how he’s freed up a bunch of time by outsourcing a lot of the fiddly work in his business like marketing material and advertising.
    ‘By letting go, I’m much happier and in a much better space’
    I talk about how I recently outsource my own training by hiring a Personal Trainer to train me. He writes my programs and keeps me accountable which means I don’t have to spend time or willpower trying to work out what to train.
    Dale trains with a group of friends who are trainers to keep himself accountable.
