Episode Description & Show Notes: This week, a fitness influencer went viral for saying people over 200 pounds shouldn't be allowed in Pilates class—and that instructors with a “gut” shouldn't be teaching. Yes, she deleted the video. But the damage was done. Thousands of people agreed with her. This is the fitness industry we're still up against. And in this episode, we're not just pushing back—we're burning the whole narrative down. We break down 13 research-backed reasons why building your fitness brand around body transformation isn't just unethical—it's lazy, outdated, and costing you money. What we cover: Why transformation-based branding leads to low retention and high churn How extrinsic motivation backfires (and what the neuroscience says) The impact of shame-based messaging on mental health How to actually build emotional loyalty that fuels long-term growth Why purpose-driven brands scale better—and feel better This episode is part reckoning, part guidebook. We brought the science, the lived experience, and the tools to help you build a brand that doesn't just sell workouts—but moves people. Whether you've already left the old model behind or are still working your way out of it—this one's for you. If this message resonates, share it. Post it. Text it to your team. Forward it to another studio owner. This is how we shift the industry—together.   SPRING INTO SUMMER AUDITS (Limited-Time Offer) Want to be sure your brand is saying what it's supposed to—and that your class experience is reinforcing it?

In this episode, we turn the traditional fitness marketing playbook on its head. If you're like most fitness professionals we speak to, you may not know exactly who your ideal client is or how to market to them in a way that communicates your value, or you have an idea of how you want to portray yourself to your people, but don't know for certain if that intention is felt and understood. The truth is that in order to clearly speak to your dream clients, communicate value and attract more of them in, there are a lot of beliefs about our industry and how we have historically marketed ourselves that need to shift dramatically. In this episode we share a recording of a recent brand strategy session that Barry had with a potential client where he took a deep dive with her into what that shift looks like.  After listening, you're going to think about how you position your value completely differently, and hopefully be on the path to take the necessary steps to attracting new dream clients confidently like a supermagnet.   What You'll Learn: The Pitfalls of Marketing Your Classes: Discover why treating fitness classes like tangible products limits who you can reach in the market. Real Needs Over Physical Benefits: Learn about the importance of the shift towards addressing people's deeper drives like confidence, energy, and overall life satisfaction, and away from abstract physical benefits like "burnt calories" "cardiovascular endurance" and "lean muscle"   We promise this episode will shift your perspective on what it means to market group fitness classes in today's world, redefine your approach to marketing, and offering insights that could redefine the way you connect with the people who need you the most.   GET THE EBOOK, AUDIOBOOK, & COURSE: https://fitnesscareermastery.com/avalanche   BOOK A BRAND STRATEGY SESSION: https://signup.fitnesscareermastery.com/yourstrategysession/
