On this episode of Steam Scenes, Emma Barry is on the steam seat! Emma is a teacher, novelist, recovering academic, and former political staffer. She lives with her high school sweetheart and a menagerie of pets and children in Virginia, and she occasionally finds time to read and write. Emma and I talk about how English studies weaponizes taste, how any writing you do is intrinsically valuable, and that literary fiction and romance are not as far apart as readers (ahem some readers) think. Then we get real about how sometimes we have a hard slog through the rough patches of being a writer and Emma shares how she managed to overcome it. And I read a steamy excerpt from her book Chick Magnet. Buckle in, my friends, we're in for a steamy ride! Grab your copy of Chick Magnet.Follow Emma on the internet: AuthorEmmaBarry.com TwitterInstagramPinterestSpotify

Hi Smooches! This is Liz, and you're listening to Make Out Already. On today's episode, we're recapping “Funny Guy” by Emma Barry. It is a delicious slow burn contemporary about a famous comedian hiding out at his lifelong best friend's apartment after his pop star ex writes an unflattering song about him. What he doesn't know is his bestie has been in love with him for years, and has recently been scheming how to get away from New York and her unrequited love. Friends to lovers can be a tricky trope, but Barry handles it beautifully. Spoilers ahead. Exciting news on the author front.

The Book: The Chick MagnetThe Drink: Hard Iced Tea (made by throwing a few tea bags in some booze - the way you should have been doing it all this time) Favorite Line: "When this tension broke, when the storm came, if it came, it was going to curl her toes, her hair. It might level the house. Level the two of them."I've been a fan of Emma Barry's work since her politics-set romances that have always scratched my Josh and Donna from The West Wing itch. She can be counted upon for excellent characters,  convincing sexual attraction and world-building that does not shy away from darker subjects.  Chick Magnet - with it's candy-colored cover - brings all the Emma Barry goodness in spades. Nic is a social media star who makes a living talking about her beloved chickens. Will is a vet whose business is struggling in a post-covid world.  These two have chemistry and sparks and real problems.  I think that's what I love about Emma's books - the fantasy of romance set in a very real world.  If this is your first Emma Barry book - you're in for a treat. If you - like me - have been a fan for a while  - it's so nice to have her back. 

Episode Summary: We're kicking off the seventh season of Boobies & Noobies with Emma Barry, whose latest release, Chick Magnet, is available now! Along with Emma's new book - which touches on everything from farm animals to gaslighting and the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic - we also discuss such topics as how the pandemic has affected our media consumption, owning farm animals, and the concepts of "chaos muppets."Guest: Emma Barry, author of Chick MagnetBook Summary: From Emma Barry comes a clever romance about a hot veterinarian and a chicken-loving influencer who can't help but ruffle each other's feathers.Nicole Jones needs a fresh start. “Chick Nic” to millions of internet fans, the social media star and her flock of chickens bask in the spotlight—until she's publicly dumped by a YouTuber for clout. She has no choice but to round up her birds and move on.But when one of her hens has an emergency, Nic gets her first taste of her new stomping grounds—and it isn't good. Veterinarian Will Lund is wildly attractive, yes, but he's also surly. In fact, he comes right out and calls her a menace for parading her chickens on social media.As neighbors, Nic and Will can't exactly avoid each other. Then again, maybe they don't want to. The two can't deny their smoldering attraction, and it isn't long before late-night confessions lead to backyard shenanigans.Is this the start of a neighborly relationship—or could something more be hatching?

Hi Smooches! On this episode, we had the pleasure of talking with author Emma Barry about her book “Chick Magnet,” which comes out January 24th. It's about a social media influencer who raises backyard chickens, and the grumpy small-town vet who has been hate-watching her content long before she moved into town. Meg and I both loved this book, and we put Emma through a game of Would You Rather based on her story. We are taking a break until February, when we'll be back with new episodes twice a month.

As anyone that has been involved in fitness for a long time will know, September is a key month for the fitness industry, particularly in the Northern Hemisphere. Instructors are coming back from their summer holidays, and it's a little bit like January in that they're refreshing their approach to fitness. September also presents an opportunity, particularly this year when the rest of the year has been so difficult with COVID, to focus on getting people back into fitness and creating habits they will actually stick to.In today's podcast, we're going to split it into three short sections. In the first section, I'm going to give a little bit of real talk on a topic that I'm hearing a lot about as we come back into live classes, which is Instructor pay. Then I'm going to ask fitness authority, Emma Barry, what she thinks Instructors should be thinking about as we go into September. Finally, we're going to finish up with some data based on what we saw during the pandemic and now coming out of the pandemic. I'll share what I think Instructors can do to really make the most of the data, the learnings, and the changes that have happened. I know you'll get a lot of value from this episode!Links mentioned in this episode:3 Key Predictions for Group Fitness in 2021The Future of Fitness with Emma Barry5 Pro Tips for Creating Better Virtual Classes with Richard PlayfairUnderstand Your Value: 5 Things Every Instructor Should Know with Barbara Brodowsky5 Ways to Supercharge the Growth of your Community with Corinne

2020 has seen huge upheaval of our lives and many of the past podcast episodes have centered around supporting Instructors during this very difficult time. But today I wanted to flash forward to the future, to a time when COVID is a distant memory and ask - what will the fitness industry look like in 3 years time? To help answer that question is today's podcast guest and good friend - Emma Barry. Emma has her finger on the pulse of the fitness industry like no one else I know and she’s my go to person for chats on innovation and future trends! Our conversation touches on a number of topics from hot new fitness trends, to creating connection, to the dangers of technology and what to watch out for. Now you could look at technological advances in fitness as a threat to your Instructor career. But I’m here to tell you that it’s not. I want you to go into this conversation with an open and curious mind, because the world is changing and those of us that can embrace these changes and find creative ways to incorporate them into what we love, are the ones that will continue to thrive in the future on fitness.

We sit on behaviors… it’s the small things that give the big change.

Emma Barry consults to the fastest-growing segments in the sector: boutique studios, budget clubs, digital workouts and fit-tech start-ups and Tracy Minnoch -Nuku  has grown up in the fitness industry, from starting as an 18-year old “aerobics” teacher through to managing personal training and group training teams in New Zealand. In this episode they join us to discuss 3 key metrics we should improve around customer service, Action steps to achieve the result for each metric, Tips to remain focused on your New Years customer service resolution

The third and final part of our CES special from Las Vegas sees Matthew Januszek speaking to three icons bridging the gap between contemporary fitness and the technology of the future.   Hear how thought leader Emma Barry, Emmett Williams of Myzone, and David Shaw of Growth Fitness Design see the years to come. Discover what you’ll be seeing more of, such as clothing sensors and even Bluetooth digestibles that you swallow for recording bodily metrics.   And how will the industry use all this big data collected? We have the key info to lead a happier and healthier life but we don’t know how to implement the knowledge – that’s the difference.   Watch the full episode on YouTube.   Emma Barry is a global fitness authority that consults to the fastest-growing segments in the sector: boutique studios, budget clubs, digital workouts and fit-tech start-ups. A founding member of group fitness programming juggernaut Les Mills International, former Director of Programming for Equinox, Emma has held senior roles in group fitness programming, product development, global training, people and culture.   Emmett Williams is group president and a founding partner in the global wearable technology brand Myzone – a hardware, cloud-ware, and software mix that drives exercise adherence for the end user, and customer engagement metrics for the network partner.   David Shaw has been involved with tech for years, through a military background having worked on infrared, night vision, thermal imagers, computer and laser systems. Today, he’s CXO of Growth Fitness Marketing & Design, a boutique firm specialising in creating the next generation hospitality, multi housing, and corporate fitness center guest workout experience.   Episode highlights -   How everyone gathering so much data is a huge trend, but there are still many key players and consumers alike that don’t really know what to do with it once they have it. Why you need to acknowledge that you’re going to lose audience attention once they leave your facility if you don’t have a digital offering, but the gamble is in not setting budget to keep their attention may mean you lose them forever in the long term. Why behavioural change is so important and how fitness not only has a big share of global wallet for the industry, but how all what so many companies are doing is still not shifting the needle on true health. How technology has changed over the years and how companies are applying it to benefit commercial fitness spaces or the service that operators can offer. The fitness giants that have lead the technological trend at CES, why they’re no longer attending and who has taken their place. Why the sleep and recovery trends are on the rise through wearables and measurement of numerous different metrics. How proper sleep hygiene not only recovers the brain and the body depending on the type of rest, but has been found to be causal to lower health risks such as dementia and Alzheimer’s. What the developments are going to be between traditional fitness and the tech industry, and which sector will be influencing the other in the years to come when it comes to commercial and consumer fitness. How companies and club operators need to follow up their data initiatives of benefiting the consumer/customer, by implementing a regression analysis with other data to correlate information and then predict future behaviour. How wearables and sensors have become smaller, more integrated in clothing, needing less power but still detecting more. Why CES may not be the first thought for gym owners and operators when it comes to show attendance, but how it leads innovation and unveils niches that will trickle down into any aspect of the industry in the years to come. How VR and AR is going to influence the fitness industry, and how the tech even affects perceived exertion during a workout. Why tech companies are concentrating more on the consumer rather than appealing to the trade.

"Nothing Replaces a Face to Face Conversation" About Today's Guest Chantal Brodrick worked for 15 years  in senior sales and marketing roles in the media industry before transitioning careers.  In 2008 she became a qualified Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor.  Soon after she combined her corporate background with her love of fitness and became a Fitness Business Coach.  In 2015 Chantal became the host of The Fitness Business Podcast.  Now with over 217 shows and 350,000 downloads, it is the world's leading podcast for fitness business owners and managers. Chantal has interviewed over 250 fitness industry leaders, coaches, consultants and authors including Jim Worthington, Rick Caro, Bill McBride, Brent Darden, Derek Gallup, Alison Flatley, Mo Hagan, Carrie Kepple, Emma Barry, Ryan Holiday, Jeb Blount, Michelle Segar and hundreds more. In 2019 Chantal was recognized as 1 of 20 'Women Who Inspire' by IHRSA's Club Business International Magazine and this year she is a featured speaker and MC at industry events across the world including, IHRSA, FILEX, IDEA, Athletic Business Show and FITEX.   Show Notes We begin the show by talking about how Chantal’s first job began with a 15-year career in media and marketing roles. Fitness was her second career and even though she got a relatively late start in the industry, her marketing background made up for any time lost. After three years of juggling her media and fitness careers, she took the leap to move into fitness fulltime. Chantal shares that the first three years were a struggle, as despite having a business background she was finding herself piecing things together and was becoming too spread out over too many areas to make an impact and almost gave up. However, once she decided to tap into her past and utilize her media background in her present career she soared and she became determined to use her skills to help others in the industry who were also struggling and teach them the business skills necessary to turn their passion into a sustainable business. Chantal encourages everyone to really think strategically about any move that you want to make and invites you to keep your eye on the long game. She believes the strategy piece behind everything that she does is the key to her success. Chantal asks us to think not just about just selling our services, but focus on the overall blueprint of our business. In addition to providing a service, she invites us to think about the following when visioning your best future career: 1. Who is your target market? 2. What do they want? 3. What sort of products and services do you need to deliver to them? 4. What does your business look like - not only right now in this present moment, but what will it look like in six months, in 12 months and in three years? 5. What are the financial goals that you are setting for your business? 6. What's the vision that you have? 7. What's the mission that you are trying to achieve? We move to talk about the struggles that can arise when trying to balance our passion with the idea of making a profit from our passion. Chantal believes there are key areas that she feels are essential to turning passion into a profitable career. 1. Identify your passion and ask yourself is it a sustainable interest? 2. Can you stay in it for the long game? 3. Are you confident that there is enough content, products or services that you can provide to this market to make it sustainable? 4. Is this market big enough to make it sustainable? 5. Is it something that you can build a business around? Chantal reminds us that doing research around the needs of our target market is absolutely key. That will mean going out and talking to your customers, talking to the people who you feel are your target market. And in addition to researching your target market – research your competition. After looking at your competitors (for inspiration) find your unique point of difference or your unique selling point - what can you offer that nobody else can offer? Chantal also encourages to take the time to check back in every so often with the people we want to serve to make sure we stay on top of the changing needs of our customers. Chantal wants us all to remember that while it is important to collect that data, and stay on top of the research - that nothing will beat sitting down for face to face conversations with the people you want to help. Even if your business in online use the amazing technology like Skype and Zoom to look people in the eye as you connect and collaborate with your audience. “People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.” Additional Takeaways: 1. Always be a student and always be learning, both inside and outside of your industry 2. Ask for help and find a mentor 3. If you go to conferences and events be sure to step outside of your circle and take the time to meet and connect with people you don’t know 4. Get your backend systems in place so you can run a great business on the front end/ 5. Make your business as efficient as possible 6. At first, try all things and then narrow down your market as you learn where you do your best work and who you enjoy working with the most 7. Put your learning time into the areas where you feel the least confident  

In a world where everything is becoming more automated and on-demand, we as fitness professionals and studio owners don’t just have to compete with the studio down the road, but Netflix or on-demand workouts as well! This means our classes and our studios have to become a special place where people can go to get […] The post FCM083: Dialing up the Emotional Experience in Your Class or Studio with Emma Barry appeared first on Fitness Career Mastery.

If You Don't Have a Plan, It Doesn't Get Done" We begin with Emma sharing her journey of how she got into fitness. Her original dream was to be New Zealand’s leading defense Lawyer, but she couldn't sit exams very well so she fell into physical education. Her first job was with Les Mills and she ended up staying with them for 25 years, and a few years into that journey she realized the importance of seeking business opportunities as well as physical ones. Emma began her career doing group fitness classes but moved into management early on. For Emma, this was a way to stay in the industry and take on a real job that didn’t involve being physical and trading her time in an hour to hour situation. Emma talks about the skills she could bring into fitness from her career in law: One was curiosity and the other was the ability to see both sides of a viewpoint and utilize critical thinking. Emma’s whole life has been working inside and outside of fitness, looking for the next thing and then trying to take something and make it better. Emma believes that everything's becoming blended right now and so she spends a lot of her time outside the industry. She focuses on human needs and how we can articulate a way to meet those needs more efficiently. “We know that we've got whatever we're feeling on the inside, we know that we've got these tangible ways of meeting those needs, but I think it needs to be looked at as a whole ecosystem.” Emma challenges us not to follow but to lead and asks us to consider the question, "when was the last time you had an original thought, or you actually made a choice for yourself that wasn't delivered up in your Instagram feed, told to you by your parents?" An interesting question for sure. She invites us to look at how we do things and where we could create a more wow experience, in the day to day life of others, whether it's inside or outside fitness. Emma pushes us to ACT. Stop thinking and start doing. If you have an idea, do something with that idea, don't leave it behind you, because if you do, there's a couple of things that'll happen. You'll either regret it, or someone else will come along, do something similar and they will be the next big thing. Emma talks about the importance of knowing and working within our strengths and then working with others to help bring energy to whatever it is you are working on. Do one tiny step each day and if you don't have the energy, find someone who does. Make the call to that one person who might have an answer to the pieces that you haven't quite worked out yet. Emma loves to mix things up and instead of just hearing about things she loves to get in the room with brilliance. She works closely with influencers to notice and spot the trends before they become the trends that we know. Emma also talks about the importance of having our own IP. The importance of creating our own assets that we can then use to expand our reach. She gives some examples such as writing white papers, writing a book or an E-book or creating a course. What is something that you build into a methodology, workshop or course and then sell? Emma sees a big opportunity with the baby boomers, as over half our working environment by 2020 will be this generation. These are the people who are underserved and she reminds us that you do not need a large following to be successful. Find the gap in the industry and then be the solution. She invites us all to stay in for the long game as she sees a lot of people who are 20 or 30 years into an industry, then they want to jump ship which is not always the greatest idea. To stay in the game it sometimes may come down to taking what you've always been good at but approach it from a different angle. Emma believes we should be living at least 80 percent in our strengths, then the other 20 percent doing the stuff that we don't like. But the majority of your life should be standing in the stuff you love. Emma talks further about how to tap into our strengths and one way is to just ask your friends. Ask four or five of them “What am I really good at?” and then also go out and ask “What am I not good at?” She also reminds us that we can transfer our skills that come with being an instructor. “If you think about it, we have the ability to make people feel a certain way and I think that is in the end, that is gold. We can lead them off the ledge or we can excite them, we can turn their negative mood around, we can give them another perspective.” We talk about the importance of creating space for learning and sometimes we need to say no, but Emma also thinks there's a period where you do need to say yes, especially in the beginning. Then once you get busy you can pull back and make more room for your evolution. Emma talks her ruthless rituals, which for her is up at 4:45 am – allowing her two hours in the morning for learning, not sitting on social media, not running around after the family, but actually sitting down and learning for herself. She also reminds us to listen to our bodies. There's a time to train our body. There's a time of clear thinking. There's a time for meetings and calls, there's a time to do the bills and all the other stuff. But stay on your plan, otherwise, you just end up doing everyone else's agenda. Everyone else gets ahead and you don't. We close up the show by Emma, once again reminding us of the importance of knowing your strengths and your values. Also, look at what's on your calendar and what's on your credit card? What do you value? These two items will tell you so much about yourself. Keep what you like and change the rest.

It’s time that we spark up some debate between fitness industry leaders! As IHRSA is when the world of fitness comes together, what better time to discover fitness trends, the future of what boutique will become over the coming years, and how other sectors of the industry will react? Our guests this week have a combined 80 years in business and entrepreneurship. The biggest question we want answered? Has the boutique fitness industry peaked? Let’s find out. Video Version - YouTube David Collignon, senior VP Blink Fitness Consistency in marketing, branding, and reaching out to people who may not have felt comfortable approaching big box gyms in the past.   Josh Leve, founder and CEO of Association of Fitness Studios Ways in which the industry can make fitness a lifestyle, instead of just an activity of coming in to a location and working out.   Dave Wright, creator and CEO of Myzone Reasons why boutiques as a buzzword is not sustainable, but gym experience anywhere is about group training, functional training and a frictionless experience with the advancement of technology.   Emma Barry, former director of group programming and group exercise at Equinox Why the fitness industry hasn’t been engaging enough over the years, even to the point of taking things for granted, and how boutiques as we know them today have brought a high emotional element to their service.   Steve Vlchek, co-founder of Workout Bar How important experience is in fitness boutiques – that’s about activity in and out of the gym, along with how to create community within everything that an operator does.     Blink Fitness With 80+ locations, with franchise opportunities and plans for plenty more, Blink’s USP is to bring a feel good experience with luxury at a value price. David Collignon joined Blink in 2016 and currently serves as SVP of operations.   AFS The Association of Fitness Studios aims to support industry operators in changing lives, providing resources, expertise and education for any fitness business. Coming from fitness industry royalty (including his dad, the founder of IHRSA), Josh Leve has been behind AFS from the ground up.   Myzone Wearable technology company Myzone shouts about the use of tech to help people feel good about exercise. Creator and CEO, Dave Wright, launched the company in 2011 and has been pioneering gym member engagement ever since.   Equinox Fitness training, PT and studios that inspire you to perform, Equinox offers unlimited group fitness, luxury amenities and exceptional services. Formerly the director of group fitness programming, Emma Barry has a wealth of insight on what makes a successful fitness experience.   Workout Bar Leading the way in what they call social fitness, Workout Bar in San Diego combines a high energy fitness program, utilising the latest in wearable technology along with lighting and immersive sound. On top of that, there’s more to the social scene outside the gym walls, too. Steve Vlcheck is innovating in the space as one of Workout Bar’s passionate directors.   Episode highlights -  What effect boutique fitness has had on the industry, how these changes have been seen in other industries and which sectors lead the charge. Why experience is key and how boutique studios can tailor their service to specific niches and needs of clients who pay Why buying into high emotional elements and hyperpersonalisation is only going to get more of an appealing offering for consumers. How being able to have control and pivot is a key factor to the success of boutique fitness spaces compared to big box gyms. What created the rise of the health club and why the boutique system is / isn’t sustainable over the traditional big box gym. How boutiques have been around for years, and what’s different now that’s causing their popularity. Why financial decisions between pay per visit and EFT can make a huge difference in the longevity of a boutique business. How, while yield per square foot is vital, it’s equally important to consider the experience outside of the gym space as well as in it.     Join Matthew Januszek in conversation with the IHRSA boutique fitness expert panel…

Today, in California, Emma spends her time speaking at conferences and fitness shows, taking on research and learning around the world, contributing to publications and forums, as well as mentoring and helping people clarify what they're doing or getting clear on project goals and putting energy behind them.
