Sessions:
AND THE SURVEY SAYS
Examine missed opportunities. Understand how surveys can help you. Review survey elements and techniques. Identify and discuss how to overcome barriers to effective surveying. Build a survey culture and strategy. Guide your team in approachability, listening, layering, venturing into member-initiated conversations and strategic post-survey review and implementation.
BUILD, ENGAGE AND LEVERAGE YOUR EXTENDED TEAM
The vision of bringing faith and fitness together is creating a ministry and culture where people become both physically and spiritually strong. When both the church and gym become one combined offering they meet the needs of people in a more essential way. It is important that each person on your team learns and grows from the skills of each other, essentially equipping each team member to be multi-disciplinary and at the same time highly aware of each member’s expertise. This training helps you to build your extended team quickly so you can provide more comprehensive care. You’ll discover how to fuel team engagement. By doing this you can then leverage a much fuller capacity as a church to do your mission – the work of God and lead in your community in powerful and celebrated ways.
DATA DRIVEN TRAINING
Jesus fed the 5000 but when the woman touched the hem of his garment that’s when the power flowed in a very personal way. The evidence is well documented: date-driven workouts produce remarkable physical results. The needs are measurable, the strategy is practical, and the outcomes are clearly defined. We’ll help your team apply a data-driven approach to spiritual training. Learn how this helps your clients transition from perceiving faith as fluffy and ethereal to being pragmatic for daily life. Get equipped with tools and techniques. Learn how to promote and celebrate this service. Prepare your team and organization for the upgrade in mission.
YOUR ONLINE FITNESS MINISTRY
Now more than ever your entire team has to be mindful of and excellent in doing BOTH brick-and-mortar and online. We’ll help you define the strengths and weaknesses of each. Explore and understand the dynamics of online. Build an aggressive plan to create or enhance your online influence and business. Get input to address challenges and continually evolve for the good.
THE POTENTIAL OF BEING OTHERS-MINDED
The only thing worse than narcissistic gym goers are self-righteous church members. Many people presume that bringing faith and fitness together is the perfect hotbed for a double-whammy. Your staff needs to understand preconceptions and be prepared to guide people to a godly articulated clarity of what truly defines the faith and fitness culture. Deeply examine the five qualities of faith-centered fitness. Learn how other fitness businesses tap into elements of others-mindedness. Gain the ability to define how being others-minded in Christ more completely accomplishes an enduring outcome. Get help to avoid unintended proselytizing and instead create a community of attraction and compassion that naturally results in membership growth.
QUALITY FAITH-CENTERED PROGRAMMING
Read a Bible verse before you workout. Listen to Christian tunes while you sweat. Say a prayer as part of the cool down. If it sounds all too cliché and trite that’s because it is. One of the most frequent critiques of a “Christian” fitness facility is that it is the same programming you can get anywhere else with a little Jesus added for flavor. Delve into resources that can totally transform the programming you develop and offer. Equip your team to elevate their game to a new and dynamic level. Done right your members and clients will say that you rock both the physical and spiritual training.
DISNEY WORLD, STARBUCKS AND YOU
Are you just another gym and church that blends with the masses? Where’s your WOW factor? Ever been to a Starbucks or Disney World? We’ll look at what sets them apart. Build a strategy to have and maintain tenacious focus. Discuss what happens when you don’t. Develop staff training that will establish embraceable values, drive excellence to new levels and get customers on board for more.
GO YE INTO ALL YOUR MARKETS
You can have more clients and more impact. It’s as easy as identifying populations that need your services. Explore who that is, what they need, why you are their best solution, how you can make this financially viable AND how diversity can be one of the biggest drivers in your organization’s culture.
ETHOS – DISCERN AND CREATE CULTURE
Great! You have a membership and guests that like what you do and want to be a part of it. But, what do you really know about them? What really is being manifest in their lives? Using your church, gym and community as the focus of our research and planning, we’ll discuss how you can discern what is already there, gain Godly wisdom and then create a culture that defines and celebrates the ethos God intends.
