Group Work: to bring two or more coaches together and therefore creating a group of customers working together.
It’s so much fun for us but more importantly, fun for our customers. It switches things up and adds another dynamic into the hour. There are so many ways to incorporate group work into your sessions like a quick warm up or block run. How about trainer rotation or group glutes at half past…there’s the classis group abs but we can really put anything together to create group work. Anything.
Just last week we all started a 7am hour with jackets in our hands, ‘let’s go’ we shouted!All coaches and customers piled out the doors; each customer was in charge of carrying some piece of equipment. Originally I wasn’t sure if my customer would do it but when approached with confidence and leadership, he didn’t blink and was running out the door.Within that hour we went all over the place. We hit the beach from all angles rotated through all types of training and group work drills…
We came flying back into the gym for some group core and a stretch. As I helped up my customer who I wasn’t sure about, he looked at me all covered in sand and dirt and said, ‘it was great to switch things up, thanks!’
The only proper way to deliver group work is to be consistent. The only way to be consistent is to plan.
Currently in wvan we are picking hours in huddle eg. Josip has group legs at 7am.This is proving to be a great way to get the task done. A simple sticky note on a front computer as a reminder and the team to keep each other accountable!
Group it up!
