    Six words are undermining coaches everywhere and nobody is talking about it. "I'm not Stephanie, but I'll try." That one sentence shrinks your confidence, lowers the room's expectations, and teaches your members that the experience lives in a person instead of your brand and it has to stop. Turn the music up, walk in like you belong there, and deliver the standard your gym promised. Directors, stop announcing subs on social media like it's a warning label because your schedule is a promise and your team is strong enough to keep it. You hired coaches who fit your culture and your gym didn't bend to fit them so trust that, protect your brand, and let every coach in every class show your members what you've built. A gym people never leave isn't built on a favorite coach. It's built on a feeling they get every single time they walk through the door.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-transformation-station--4156450/support.Check us out on Instagram: @thetransformationstationbarrieOur podcast is ad-free for your easy listening enjoyment.
