Whenever you're looking at adding a product or service to your business or you want to know what your audience really wants so you can deliver, surveying your audience is a great way to do it.    When you post on social media you can do it to connect, to attract, to research, and to sell once you've earned the right and then very infrequently. A survey for your audience falls under research. When you ask, you engage if you ask the right questions.    Posting or sending surveys to your audience provides great insight to you but also allows your audience to feel seen and heard.    Tools for Surveying Your Audience:  Typeform  Survey Monkey Questions in Stories  Posts in Insta or FB     There is an art to writing questions. As a Senior Lecturer in Kinesiology, I recall writing those first exams, after kicking the pre-empted text-generated questions to the curb. It was painful.    Then over at the testing center when we literally had to walk the bubble sheets over to get results back, there were reams of 8 ½ x 11 sheets of paper lining the walls with articles on how to write better test questions.    Going to work for ACE (American Council on Exercise) as a Subject Matter Expert to write items for the Personal Trainer, Medical Exercise Specialist, and Health Coach certifications, there was always a short course refresher for us on writing the exam questions.    Though you're not writing for a nationally accredited certification or something that is going to make or break a college degree, you want to be sure you're really asking a question that gets you the answer you want.    How to Ask Questions:  Multiple choice  Ranking/rating  Round up responses to a specific question  Part of asking is also in WHO you ask. Realize there's value in asking on social media, but even if you call them yours… they're not. You have no idea of whether they have ever spent a dime with you or ever would. So don't put a lot of stock into what you ask or get too detailed… they'll be over it.    Survey Your Audience with the Right Questions Sample questions you might ask:  Rank the following in order of importance:  Rate the quality of the [feature]  How important was __________ to your decision to purchase this product?  Which of these is the most important to you right now? (pick 3)  When you survey your email subscribers be sure you weigh the responses of your buyers heavier than that of those who have never purchased anything from you. This kind of segmenting is possible with any CRM (customer relationship management) tool you use.    Just a word about CRMs.I have used several to assist start up trainers, gyms and in rolling through growth myself so if you have questions on:  Aweber Constant Contact MailChimp  Infusionsoft  Or a custom email provider  I can help you. I've used them all and I've looked at others.    There are dozens more that you may be interested in. What you do want to know is that you have something that plays well with others. That is, you can integrate with your shopping cart, your website, and potentially plugins that help you automate so many things in your business so that you can focus on your personal magic.    Other Episodes You Might Like:  2 Goals of Every Communication (Sale or No Sale) that Boost Success: https://www.fitnessmarketingmastery.com/every-communication/ 5 Hacks to Reduce Fitness Marketing Time Without Losing Traction: https://www.fitnessmarketingmastery.com/reduce-fitness-marketing-time/ Develop & Define Your Brand Voice | Fitness Marketing Made Easy: https://www.fitnessmarketingmastery.com/define-your-brand-voice/ Resources:  Health & Fitness Business Scorecard: https://www.fitnessmarketingmastery.com/scorecard The Flipping 50 Cafe:https://www.flippingfifty.com/cafe Marketing to Women Copywriting Course: https://www.fitnessmarketingmastery.com/copywriting-course 

If you've attended a fitness conference recently, this may or may not resonate. Online fitness conferences in the past few years have been different. Back in real person, we're all a bit hungry for the community and excitement that bringing people together offers. But have you experienced this? A drained feeling, a definite adrenal rush potentially, but also a superficial show of persona as opposed to real connections? This may resonate with you if so.    Sometimes you just know that you've landed. Whether it's because you find your people, or you have also found yourself and you're comfortable in your own skin.    The soul-sucking information pathway that social media has become for me was taking a toll. I was definitely not looking forward to this trip. I could think of a million reasons not to go! We're launching a new cohort of the Flipping50 Menopause Fitness Specialists and it was the last 4 days we're open. I had just opened our recent launch of our 12-week consumer course-plus-coaching offer. I had a mastermind meeting to prepare for. And every once in a while, I can take for granted where I'm at and what I'm doing and wonder if I'm offering any new insight in my talk.    Definitely my thoughts before the fitness conference. Of course, in the process of presenting, and answering questions, and having people thank me and ask follow-up questions, I realize that I... I am the biggest benefactor of presenting because in doing so I remind myself that from 0 to 6-figure months is nothing to take for granted. I realize that sharing that story was crucial for me to have the reminder of what I am capable of doing… again.     Time to Attend a Real Fitness Conference I was long overdue to attend a fitness conference that wasn't full of superficial “awesome” high-fives and selfies and find some source of peace and collective goal-seekers.   Mission accomplished.    I've known the hosts of this conference for a decade I guess. I don't know at all. Cody Sipe was first on my radar I believe as a presenter and award-winning fitness pro with ACE (American Council on Exercise).    He and partner Dan Ritchie formed Functional Aging Institute. They hosted a first event in 2015 and I was invited. It's a small world, where I've met other guests that will be familiar to you if you've attended the What, When & Why to Women's Exercise Summit: https://www.flippingfifty.com/womensexercise Dr. Emily Splichal – who is your go-to for all things feet issues that may limit your clients and for improving balance, stability and continued activity for life.   Bedros Keuilian – who is a renowned fitness marketing mastery expert and who has evolved as so many fitness and health pros do, to mindset and personal growth. Fitness Marketing Secrets.   Sister team Kymberly Williams-Evans and Alexandra Williams of funandfit.org co-wrote a guest-contribution to You Still Got It, Girl! (published by Healthy Learning in 2015).    Dan and Cody also contributed to the same book's chapter on strength training. And Dan was a guest speaker on The What, When & Why to Women's Exercise Summit.   And here's why.    The Health & Fitness Professional Experience   When you meet good people, hold onto good people. I've had many “lunches” with fitness pros over the past few decades. But many of them were networking from the beginning, felt like networking, and I couldn't wait to recover after.    Others, like lunch I had with Dan a couple years ago, and the lunch I enjoyed with Lindsay Vastola (you may recognize as prior editor of PFP magazine for 10 years) and a few others, this weekend were rich in real connections and laughter.    It's not fair I suppose to compare pre-pandemic to post but I do believe there's more to it. It's also not fair to compare an early career or tendency to wear imposture syndrome, with seasoned career and an attitude of I just don't care what people think, I'm doing the right thing.   I've seen too much about the inside of fitness conferences and about who and how they are chosen to speak, and what they're reality is behind the scenes. I don't suggest that we don't all have things we may regret, but if you knew about industry award-winners, who and how promotions occur, and the very flimsy “influencer” market you are playing in if you decide to post based on what you see others with large audiences post, you're headed for a reality check faster than you might know.    What glitters, and is botoxed, does not shine so much in real life.    The Reality of Fitness Conferences   I usually go home from fitness conferences exhausted. Not because of living a 1980s or even early 90s fitness conference reality where it was workout session after workout session. But because of the vibe. The junior-high-like cliques, ego-driven exchanges, the near-elevation of presenters to celebrity status that makes it less a learning environment than a day at a fitness bootcamp to see who holds up the longest, has the newest apparel and still parties through the evening.    But this conference was different. Connections were real. Instead of ducking out to my room to recharge I stayed the day watching it all before and between my sessions. Speakers were around and making connections with each other as well as attendees.    A panel of three female fitness leaders I was on had such great synergy not only with each other but with the audience. It was as rich an experience for each of us participating I think as it was for those in the room attending beginning to grow their own businesses. Lindsay, I and Alexis Perkins whom I'd never met had a great time co-hosting the panel.    If you want to see and know what's possible, consider that Alexis Perkins has founded Chair One Fitness [Link to learn more https://chaironefitness.com/]. She's 30. She's got contagious enthusiasm. She's figured out it's figuroutable. Don't look at her and say, I wish I'd started then, look at her and say that it's possible for any one of us. She's a young woman of color, serving an older market both in the older adult caregiving arena and in the fitness professionals she trains. What do you need to overcome? Why not you? She's doing it and she's a breath of fresh air.     Conference Locations, Sessions & Keynotes The keynotes were not “look at me” but a real connection with audience through personal story and industry facts and overcoming challenges.    Seek out conferences where you not only get knowledge poured into you, but you get filled up like this.    Recently in our customer support I was asked about fitness conferences in Salt Lake City. This comes the same weekend I'm IN SLC for this conference. Does that feel a little too like AI or Alexa listening in? I can't answer questions like that unfortunately, Google is your best GPS for that.    But if you do have questions about what and where to gain education virtually or in person in a way you not only get knowledge, but gain community, reach out to us. We'll help and we'll host. We have educational events for health & fitness coaches in conjunction with our Flipping 50 retreats. So if you're up for a weekend of hiking to put your fitness to work and your mind at ease and then also fill up your cup with business support, let us know you're interested.    We're putting together some challenging destination hiking opportunities as well as other slightly milder but high-volume outdoor adventures combined with Menopause Fitness & Coaching Strategies for you.   Other Episodes You Might Like:  Fitness Marketing Secrets to Recession-Proof with Bedros Keuilian: https://www.fitnessmarketingmastery.com/fitness-marketing-secrets/ Business Partnerships and Collaborations | Amazing Health & Fitness Growth: https://www.fitnessmarketingmastery.com/business-partnerships/ Resources:  Health & Fitness Business Scorecard: https://www.fitnessmarketingmastery.com/scorecard Sunlighten Saunas: https://www.flippingfifty.com/sauna The Flipping 50 Cafe: https://www.flippingfifty.com/cafe

Episode 274: Cedric Bryant Tackles the Physical Activity Pandemic  It is spring recovery time. A time to bridge the gap between what we know and what we do. This concept of narrowing the gap between what we learn and what we do with what we learn could be applied to every area policing, climate control, gun control, recycling, healthcare, exercise; the list can go on. Cedric Bryant, Ph.D., bridges that disconnect between what we know and what we do at ACE (American Council on Exercise). He and his executive team are leading the global transformation of the industry by setting the highest industry standards of certification for exercise professionals and health coaches. In turn, these 90,000 plus certified trainers and coaches influence others in making one’s personal mission movement. DOWNLOAD Dr. Bryant uses exercise science and what is known about behavior change to get everyone moving in the right direction. Cedric says, “Whenever our daily routines get disrupted, our bodies and minds get out of balance.” Our equilibrium is off. One of the trainer trends is to address the stressors of the physical activity pandemic by teaching people the skills to change their lifestyles. Walk alongside them. See where they get tripped up. In addition to overcoming barriers like where can I find activity? We can equip ourselves with thoughts and phrases that stick with us. Cedric has a bunch of them. “Every bit of movement counts. Think about it like loose change,” he says. “Every coin of change accumulates over time. Exercise accumulates into real value in your life.” Find out how. What about this workable one, “Incorporating little activity snacks into our day?!” Or, this catchy phrase of Cedric’s I now say every day: “Some exercise is better than none. More is better than some.” Motivating phrases like these begin to get real traction in our minds inspiring us to move into action throughout each day.This episode helps us rethink our daily routines, learn some fun phrases and tips you can pass along to others, and research behind trends you will see coming up. We all need small triumphs sprinkled into our days as we evolve ourselves and transform our society. But first, get moving while you listen to our conversation and leap into recovering from this physical activity pandemic. You will feel better emotionally, psychologically, and physically.

Did you know 1 in 4 Americans over 65 fall every year? Falls are the leading cause of fatal injury and the most common cause of nonfatal trauma-related hospital admissions among older adults. 80% of American older adults have at least one chronic condition, which can limit a person’s ability to perform daily activities, cause them to lose their independence, and result in the need for institutional care, in-home caregivers, or other long-term services and supports.Fortunately, people like today’s guest, Kelly Spencer, are here to empower our aging adults to move to foster independence and lead healthier, happier lives.  Kelly is an ACE (American Council on Exercise) certified Silver Fitness Specialist and she joins the show today.

Tarita Thomas   Tanya Leake Health care in the U.S.is unfortunately both sexist and racist. As a result Women have struggled and suffered with health issues,  often unnecessarily,  because of the bias in health care that understudies women's health issues, especially sexual and reproductive health issues  and then  ignores, dismisses  and shames women when they need help.  Today we talk to Wellness experts Tanya Leake and Tarita Thomas who have been offering a holistic alternative to women's health for over a decade, that they created after struggling with their own health issues, and now are co creating a revolutionary peer-centered information platform to address the misinformation and dismissal of  women's health issue by providing a space called WeKnow (Women embracing the Knowledge Necessary for Our Wellness) where women can share their own stories with Cramps, Fibroids & Endometriosis.  This is revolutionary because we know sharing our stories and supporting each other is the way we take control of our own bodies and create a new notion of health based in our own intuitive and shared knowledge as women. Tarita Thomas was diagnosed with Endometriosis at the age of 12. None of the options her doctors offered helped, so she spent the next 30 years suffering, researching answers and seeking relief.  Her passion for Women's Wellness is rooted in the impact that journey has had on her schooling, career and financial life.  She is the author of First Blood: Women's Stories of their First Period, Founder of The pms Telethon designed to eradicate cramps, fibroids & endometriosis, and Founder of Pussy the Seminar: Creating Safe Space Dialogue About Our Most Sacred and Controversial Body Part.  A credentialed coach, facilitator, participatory researcher, data scientist and 20-year veteran of Human Resources and Diversity Consulting, Tarita is invested in driving authentic, vulnerable, critical conversations. Tarita is co-facilitator of #coochieconversations and co-founder and Chief Evangelist of WeKNOW.

Yoga and Movement Research Series How does Bikram yoga affect heart rate and core temperature? To be completely honest neither Cat nor I are fans of Bikram yoga or hot yoga in general. Nonetheless, we did our best to discuss Bikram yoga and this study as objectively as possible. In this episode we reviewed an ACE (American Council on Exercise) sponsored study done in 2015, which examines the effect of Bikram yoga on core temperature, heart rate and rate of perceived exertion of 20 Bikram practitioners. Some interesting data from the study: The average highest core temp was 103.2 for men and 102 for women. One male had a core temp of 104 by the end of the 90 minute class. The average heart rate was 80% max for men and 72% max for women. The highest recorded was 92% for men and 85% for female. It's essential for Bikram teachers to have a basic understanding of thermoregulation and know the signs and symptoms of heat related illness. Teachers should be trained to respond appropriately in the event of an emergency to keep the participant's safety a priority. Because participants experienced dangerous elevated core temperatures 60 minutes into class, shortening the class to 60 minutes or less might minimize potential for heat intolerance. Researcher Emily Quandt offers three key recommendations: shorten the class, lower the room temperature and focus on hydration.

In 1988 Mary decided to pursue a Masters degree in exercise science with emphasis' on exercise physiology and kinesiology. At the same time she established Body Mechanics by Drill, a personal training company and in 1994 expanded by mentoring a small, select group of fitness trainers to help serve her growing client base.  In 1996 Mary initiated an alliance with Accelerated Rehabilitation Clinics to grow her knowledge of fitness assessment including flexibility, strength and functional strength deficits. Most fitness training program design in the field was not taking into consideration this important information and many clients were being trained in a cookie cutter fashion so with her growing knowledge Mary launched Tools for the Trainer workshops in 2000.   These workshops offered fitness trainers hands-on instruction in program design so they could customize programs to their clients' needs and goals.   It also helped the trainers develop an eye for proper movement. Tools for the Trainer workshops were ACE (American Council on Exercise) fitness approved for continuing education credits and Mary became an ACE.  Mary went on to develop specialty programs for pregnant clients and most 'What's Is Up Down There: Understanding Your Pelvic Pyramid'.  In 2004, Mary was recruited to serve as the primary fitness expert on a team of advisors for Women’s Health Foundation (WHF).  The mission of WHF was to promote conversation and research regarding incontinence, bring awareness its prevalence and the enormous impact it could have on quality of life in so many women.  As the master trainer, Mary was commissioned to work with two other medical professionals to design Total Control™ program exercise protocols for women with concerns or issues with incontinence.  She was also one of the main contributors to the Total Control™ fitness instructor training manual used to train other health and fitness professionals.  Mary traveled nationally to train and educate fitness professionals and health care providers who planned to either bring Total Control™ programming to their facilities or integrate the concepts into their private practice. Since WHF, Mary has been invited to serve on other clinical advisory boards involved in promoting health and wellness education, services and products for both men and women.     Mary continues to see her private training clients weekly and has worked with several clients for 15+ years.  Her clients range in age from 36 to 90 and all have personalized programs based on their needs and goals.  Mary has over 20 years of experience working with special populations including pre/postnatal, sports-specific training, senior-seniors, obese and degenerative conditions such as Parkinson's and MS. She also has extensive experience working with clients with acute or intermittent back, knee, hip and neck issues. In addition to being ACSM certified, Mary is FMS (Functional Movement Screen) certified and has studied Pilates since 1998 allowing her to regularly incorporate postural cues and core activation from the Pilates method into all her client workouts.
