One of the great things about having an amazing team is that they will do all this crazy stuff for you that is way outside the bounds of the standard group fitness instructor remit. My staff, especially .fitness, also work as operations and admin for both studios. They keep their eyes on things like maintenance, replacing cleaning products, fixing machines, door handles, replacing batteries, doing routine checks on lights, locks, heaters, and god knows what else. Theh pick up merch orders, they advise me on what socks to order or when stock is low, they check the cameras, or dust the cobwebs off windows. They tell me when something needs replacing or fixing and honestly at this point they have the authority to just replace it, or fix it and send me the bill later. Empowering your team creates a sense of trust, ownership and respect that you can’t get when you try to do it all yourself, or worse, try to overly control how they work. Believing in the capability and skills of your team makes everything better, and honestly we couldn’t do it without one another. Thanks especially to Liv - my super hero ops queen who is my eyes and ears when I’m away, and to all the other instructors who lean in and step up and do all the random jobs that pop up from time to time. Love you all!!
