The Joy in Gymming

Let's clean up! AND use it to build great habits for coaches and managers! In this episode, Coach Tony describes how teaching new employees to vacuum slowly actually sparked the idea that we, as managers, should assume nothing and teach EVERYTHING! Even vacuuming! Ali & Sarah share their versions of "the slow vacuum" and training must-haves.

Are you on the struggle bus when it comes to finding more coaches? You're not alone. Ah yes, the age old question: where do we find more coaches?! In this episode we talk about how times have changed from when the three of us first started out, some tips for recruiting new staff, and – most importantly – if coaches could grow on trees, what would that tree look like?!

In this week's episode we'll start by learning something very simple: what Coach Tony thinks "Ninja" classes are and are not. Then, the dynamic trio will discuss the values this flaming hot programming add on has for gymnastics facilities everywhere.

Spoiler alert: the true value of offering ninja classes is NOT in getting boys into the gym… it's something deeper that may actually change the way you think of EVERY class you offer!

In this episode, Sarah spills the tea on how to build your pack of people that build you up and fill your swagger cup.

We learn how the Joy In Gymming crew met, and how 'Little Shredders' is not Ninja Turtle related (but in fact, an 'outside the box' inspiration for Sarah).

It's time to get campy on the podcast this week!

We explore the idea that in order to spice up your summer camps, the first step is to understand how camp is different from classes - and then leverage the heck out of that in creative ways to make camp extra magical!

We all share a few fun ideas to leverage the gift of "more time" that comes with camp - like paper airplane crafts, preschool readiness, and Ali's favorite game of Human Clue!

This week, Sarah teaches us about preschool communities. We learn how important nurturing your preschool parents community is to your program's growth, and the super simple way to start doing this!

Then, we drop into the gym, and learn how class communities (or "crew") can be used as a tool to build trust, belonging and make your program sticky.

We leave with one very simple next step: say hi. :)

On this week's episode, we are talking about confident coaching and what that might look like out in the gym (spoiler alert: it's not always over the top enthusiasm)!

Then, we take a step back to consider the ways that we, as managers, can help build up the confidence of our coaches (and confess a couple of our own pitfalls that had the opposite effect).

It's not always easy to say yes to kids… but when we do, we often find some fun! "Yes" is one of the happiest words around.

In today's episode we'll explore how to use the power of yes with kids and even talk a little about saying to coaches, too! Ali, Tony and Sarah swap "yes" stories and the impact they have made in their own gymming experiences.
