the ultimate instructor interaction training

I'd like my fitness instructors to have the confidence to
approach more members

I want them to recognise their own personal styles
and how this affects the member relationship

How can we get our instructors to motivate, support and even mentor people of varied age groups who all have different styles, expectations and levels of motivation?

Successful Instructors and Personal Trainers are not just experts on programming and fitness knowledge. Their strength lies in the ability to interact with, influence, gain trust, encourage and ultimately build relationships with club members. Their abilities are not limited to interacting with members who are similar in personality type or even age group. Understanding 'self' and your members, with different preferences, expectations, desires, and motivations, will ensure you build strong and lasting member relationships................
