The gender equity gap is a reality in all industries, the fitness industry is no exception. Even as we become more aware of conscious, and unconscious, bias towards gender inequities, they still exist. This inequity not only effects women, but also the productivity, profitability, and impact fitness businesses can have in their community. In episode 72 we'll explore just that with Lindsey Rainwater, a gender equity and fitness industry thought-leader. Lindsey is not only someone who is passionate about the ethical and business rationale for improving gender equity in the fitness industry, she has also taken significant action towards addressing it, by founding the Women in Fitness Association (WIFA). Her perspective is both thought-provoking and highly instructive. This is not simply a conversation around the abstract principles of gender inequality. Rather, Lindsey provides business owners and employees alike actionable steps that can be taken to improve gender equity leading to a more impactful and profitable industry.Show Notes Page: https://www.wellnessparadoxpod.com/podcast/episode/72  Our Guest: Lindsey RainwaterLindsey Rainwater is an experienced business advisor, executive coach and the founder of The Women in Fitness Association (WIFA).

Hey chica’s, I hope you are having a fabulous day! On this weeks’ episode, I am introducing you to my sweet, amazing friend, Lindsey Rainwater. She is a wife, mother of two, consultant, entrepreneur and founder of an organization called Women in Fitness Association (WIFA). Lindsey and I met over ten years ago when we were both working and speaking at fitness conferences. Lindsey was in her twenties, single and hustling to build her career. And, unbeknownst to most of us, was struggling with alcohol. Over the last decade, Lindsey moved through sobriety, married the man of her dreams, had two beautiful babies and became the founder of a non-profit to support women in the fitness industry. Watching her navigate through such high highs and low lows with such grace and thankfulness inspired me to invite her on our podcast to share with you her tips and secrets for creating the life she loves. As we dive into the conversation, Lindsey shares with us how self awareness helped her move through the troubling times in her life, the steps she took to make her whole and the building blocks she uses today to create a place for women to grow. Lindsey also shares the following: - What she decided to do at 27 years old that changed her life. - Her motivator to start an organization for women in fitness. - How she finds “balance” between work and family and how she renamed and reframed it. - What every female entrepreneur needs to find success. - The importance of having a mentor especially if you are a leader. Thank you, Lindsey for sharing your amazing story with all of us. And, for the inspiration to get out there and create the life we want to lead. xoxo And to all of you listening, thank YOU for your time, your ideas and your suggestions. You’re the best! Love you so hard,
Lors PS  Sorry for all my “um’s”.  Seriously, um, don’t even know what that was all about!

Listen To Episode 035 As Lindsey & Debra Uncover What is the WIFA doing for the women in our space The Women In Fitness Association: Why now more than ever it is important to create female mentorship How the attention spans of women and men differ when we look at the the application of technology  Uncovering the nuances of pregnancy apps and a woman's needs Multitasking: Men vs. Women in the modern world Connection and socialization: What virtual apps and ecosystems appeal to women  Relationship and community considerations when using technology in the fitness industry Exploring the mindset and roles of managers using new technology in and out of the club  How in club technology solutions can equip owners and operators with better decision-making power based on real-time data of consumer behavior Understanding the national presence of technology segmentation for virtual fitness Understanding the differences between wellness and fitness tech responsiveness across the globe The acceptance of artificial intelligence combined with smart virtual coaching Why we are seeing additional mindfulness and restorative programs in health facilities  Top 3 Takeaways From The Show Debra believes that in Europe we are seeing a lot more virtual classes having sweeping popularity, which is slowly making its way as a larger trend in the United States. We are reminded by her wisdom that technology always has its place but as we get more high-tech then we have to stay high-touch, It's the combination of those that is going to make us most successful. We are reminded both by Debra and Lindsey that when it comes to wearable technology integrating deeper into the lifestyle of women in the fitness industry and the consumers that we all serve, to keep the visual aspect top of mind. The way that women interact and engage with technology is fundamentally different than men, and we must respect this difference when looking at the user experience and the look and feel of our devices and software. Lindsey believes that with 80% of buying decisions being made by women from a consumer standpoint, having a well-rounded representation of women in fitness, and really all types of organizations is just good business practice. Her aim with WIFA is to see more women in the board room, championing each other to achieve, and sharing success through collaboration. WIFA is creating a place where young women entering our space can find mentorship and for every seasoned veteran to have an impact on her peers that ripples out to affect the masses. Power Quotes From Lindsey & Debra "There's no question that women like a virtual fitness community. This has been built off of the group exercise phenomenon and how the majority of women are in classes taking advantage of that community in person, and they've extrapolated that connection into a virtual community where we have more women that check in in the clubs than men, we have more women that follow us under social media than men, I think that there is no question that women like the idea of being connected to a group whether it's competitively or just socially."  - Debra Siena on the Fitness + Technology Podcast "There's things that only women track, whether it's body temperature or the relationship to a female specific needs, or even heart rate relative to being nine months pregnant like myself. Whatever it is that we want to track, I don't think that the wearable market or sensor market has totally honed in on how to support us. We've come a ways forward, but I think there's still a big opportunity here." - Lindsey Rainwater on the Fitness + Technology Podcast Resources Mentioned From Lindsey & Debra Women In Fitness Association Why The Wearable Device Market Isn't Giving Women What They Want Women Are Better Than Men At Multi-Tasking, Study Says The Women in Fitness Association (WIFA) WIFA on facebook WIFA Blog Lindsey Rainwater's website Lindsey Rainwater on LinkedIn Lindsey Rainwater on Twitter Lindsey Rainwater on Slide Share  Lindsey Rainwater on Instagram Debra Siena on LinkedIn Debra Siena on Twitter Debra Siena on Slide Share Debra Siena - Midtown Health Women in Technology International IHRSA  Fitbit Alta HR To-Do List App Headspace App Hearables Vs.

Lindsey Rainwater is a sought after Business Consultant & Leadership Coach, Writer, and Presenter. Lindsey helps people and organizations enjoy transformational change with an enthusiasm for leadership, conscious living, and wellness amplified by technology.   As a consultant and coach to the professionals supporting the fitness industry, she is well known for her work in business development, strategy, digital marketing, content creation and change management. Lindsey’s entrepreneurial spirit and drive has produced a track record of consistent over-achievements throughout her career which has created her unique signature of being a conscious professional who leverages technology, to build deep, meaningful relationships while helping her colleagues do the same. Listen To Episode 016 As Lindsey Uncovers How to use simple yet effective techniques to enhance the Group X member experience How gamification and wearables can create return and new members  Why over 90% of recurring members are group fitness members and what savvy club operators can to do help change this statistic  How making simple changes in lighting and music can dramatically change the Group X member experience  Understanding how technology can support filling classes in peak and off peak times How to lighten up the space of the Group X room and make it more fun for members  Dialing up the live class experience: what works best for all sizes of clubs  Why launch parties for Group X fitness can drive new memberships if strategically placed in a sales approach  What virtual Group X means to supporting members who use the gym in twilight hours Exploring the impact of what virtual reality will bring to the Group X space in the next 3-5 years  What Lindsey believes is the future of group fitness technology  Top 3 Takeaways From The Show  With so many moving pieces to manage in a successful Group X program, Lindsey urges club owners to focus on the cost of losing a loyal member who participates in Group X buffed up against the cost of a new member acquisition. A loyal Group X member stays for a number of reasons, but above all else, its the connection to a community and the personal relationships that are made inside the room. New advances in virtual and live streaming classes can help serve all club members at their deepest needs, and beyond the use of technology, Lindsey reminds club owners to not overlook the simple yet effective changes of class music and lighting which can prove a tremendous impact on the member experience and support retention. With the pace of change and technology options rising for Group X, Lindsey believes the most important thing is to slow down and begin evaluating what’s currently working by surveying members on how you might improve. In club operations on and off the group X and fitness floor, Lindsey reminds us that there is power in the pause.  Power Quotes From Lindsey "With so many moving pieces to manage in a successful Group X program, I urge club owners to focus on the cost of losing a loyal member who participates in Group X buffed up against the cost of a new member acquisition. A loyal Group X member stays for a number of reasons, but above all else, its the connection to a community and the personal relationships that are made inside the room." -  Lindsey Rainwater on the Fitness + Technology Podcast "Technology's ability to impact the Group X space happens with social media as instructors take the lead by posting pictures of classes and tagging happy members. Whether gamification was integrated inside the class or not, members can both compete and compare, which creates the base for them to return." - Lindsey Rainwater on the Fitness + Technology Podcast Resources Mentioned From Lindsey Lindsey Rainwater's website Lindsey Rainwater on LinkedIn Lindsey Rainwater on Twitter Lindsey Rainwater on Slide Share  Lindsey Rainwater on Instagram The Most Important Fact Every Organization Must Realize Group X: Boost Your Group Fitness in 2017 With These Tips How To Win Friends And Influence People Never Eat Alone Good To Great Apple News Tech Crunch App 2017 Forbes Top Technology Trends Lindsey's Contribution In the 2017 FIT-C Tech Trends Report Support This Podcast Leave a 5 star review on iTunes Share this episode with someone you care about Contact FIT-C for podcast sponsorship and partnership opportunities  Download the 2017 Tech Trends report Thanks To Our Outstanding Sponsors Bryan O’Rourke and his family of companies including Vedere Ventures, Integerus Advisors, and many more.
