If you’re adding online workouts to your services or want to improve your current online workouts, your mental approach significantly influences how you design and program each session. Learning from instructors creating content at a high level and within your industry is a great way to grow as an instructor and develop better-quality content. In episode 80 of the KIPS Podcast, guest Joe Alvarado shares his journey on YouTube, talks about his current content creation setup, and shares what it’s like to teach in person and live at a high level.
Joe shares how we used to believe that these two teaching modalities were entirely different, but now you can learn from each type of session to improve your coaching style. Along with running a cycling-based YouTube channel, Joe is a manager with LifeTime Fitness in Centennial, CO. With LifeTime, Joe manages the group fitness instructors and teaches a variety of formats. In this episode, Joe shares the unique setup that LifeTime has with their online platform and how, during the pandemic, it was an exceptional experience to teach to two different audiences.
This episode is a great listen for instructors who are thinking about adding online workouts to their current live sessions or who are wondering about the dynamics of teaching both types of sessions.
