Motive: When approaching a facility for a Fit Club you want to be prepared to tell them how the Fit Club can benefit their location. This will be ammo for your presentation and what the leading selling point will be.
Contacting a facility by phone is a great initial contact. However, a lot of people aren’t familiar with what fit clubs really are and don’t like being put on the spot. Instead of giving too much information just make an initial introduction and ask for a time to meet with someone about an idea that you would like to present their facility with.

“Hello my name is Richard and I’m an Independent Beachbody Coach. The reason I’m calling today is because I am looking to start a free Fit Club in the area and I think your facility would be a great place to host this event. A fit club is an outreach to help people get motivated to workout and get healthy. As you you know the obesity rates in our community alone are astounding and this is my way to give back to our community. Considering our economy I understand that people don’t have alot of money to pay for gym memberships and this would be a way to eliminate any excuses people have for not staying active.”

“Hello my name is Richard and I’m an Independent Beachbody Coach. The reason I am contacting you today is because I would like to start a FREE Fit Club in the area for the community. As you know the obesity rates are overwhelmingly high and I would like to help change that. Here is what they are doing in TN and I think our community can benefit from it as well. (attach link to the Tennessee video). I am also attaching a copy of the liability waiver for your review. I would love the opportunity to sit down and further discuss this idea with you and show you how this can also become an outreach for your location. I am confident this will greatly benefit our community. I’d like to hear what you think about the video. It motivates me to help as many people as I possibly can. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.”

When presenting the Fit Club to the location you always want to be confident with what you are talking about. Let them know you are serious about reaching out to the community to help people get their lives back. Look at the Fit Club Handling Objections form for the most common objectives and learn how to handle those when they come about. The key thing you want to focus on is how it can benefit the community and how it can benefit the location.

Fit Club is a great time to “share”. Here are a few ways.
Fit Club is a great time to “share”. Here are a few ways.
Share the product: Have samplings of Shakeology, E&E or Results & Recovery on occasion in able for people to try the products.
Share the business opportunity: Use the third party tools as a presentation before class to let them see what the coaching opportunity is all about. Let the tools do the talking!
Share stories & testimonies: People love to be bragged on. If someone in class is making progress announce it! This will encourage them and help others to see that staying active pays off!
Have a give-a-way: Don’t be afraid to invest in give-a-ways. You can do them monthly or even quarterly. People love prizes and this will keep them coming back for a chance to win!
As a coach it’s your job to motivate your guest at the fit club. This is NOT your workout time. You should be walking around and encouraging people to do their best. If someone seems to be struggling then you can show them ways that work for you if you had to modify. Remember, unless you are a trainer you can not actually instruct the class.

Make it fun! Play music before class! Create energy in the room so they will want to come back. Let them know that they are welcomed there and give them a sense of belonging. Offer to put them in your challenge groups!
Now that you have an established fit club it’s time to duplicate. Begin to look for leaders within the class and offer the coaching opportunity to them. Creating other leaders in the class will allow you to eventually turn that fit club over to another coach in able for you to begin others.

Fit Clubs should be about paying it forward and helping others get healthy and active. This is your class and it’s ultimately up to you to create an environment where people want to be. Be their encourager, their support partner, their cheerleader…their COACH!

You only meet once or twice a week for the Fit Club, and Challenge Groups are a great way for them to stay committed and accountable for the rest of the week.
HIGHLY ENCOURAGE them to join one of your Challenge Groups!
It’s VERY IMPORTANT to make sure everyone fills out waiver forms BEFORE they engage in the workouts to protect yourself.

Remember, you CAN’T run a workout yourself for liability purposes, and have to run the workout video during the Fit Club.
The only exception to this is if you are a certified trainer of that workout (P90X, Insanity, etc.), where you can hold the workouts yourself.
