Ep 13: The Future of Fitness
Listen on…
2020 has seen huge upheaval of our lives and many of the past podcast episodes have centered around supporting Instructors during this very difficult time. But today I wanted to flash forward to the future, to a time when COVID is a distant memory and ask - what will the fitness industry look like in 3 years time?
To help answer that question is today's podcast guest and good friend - Emma Barry. Emma has her finger on the pulse of the fitness industry like no one else I know and she’s my go to person for chats on innovation and future trends!
Our conversation touches on a number of topics from hot new fitness trends, to creating connection, to the dangers of technology and what to watch out for. Now you could look at technological advances in fitness as a threat to your Instructor career. But I’m here to tell you that it’s not. I want you to go into this conversation with an open and curious mind, because the world is changing and those of us that can embrace these changes and find creative ways to incorporate them into what we love, are the ones that will continue to thrive in the future on fitness.
