April 2020 - Warm Up and Workout
At-Home Workouts
We’re giving you 6 workouts a week that you can turn around and deliver to your people.

These will be bodyweight or low load (laundry detergent jug, or random things you can find
around the house that make sense), and will include movement demonstration videos to make
things easier on you and your people.

Delivery
As professionals whose livelihoods are centered around health and wellness, we have a duty
to show up and serve our communities to the absolute best of our ability right now. People
need our support and guidance. The more you make people feel like you’re taking care of them
during this time, the better.

Which is why we’re suggesting that you go above and beyond the typical platform delivery, like
pushing workouts to your people via Wodify, BTWB, SugarWod, etc.

Make the delivery more personal.

You can do this by texting your members the workouts. We recommend splitting up your
members and assigning them to a coach. That coach is responsible for sending members the
workout, movement demonstration videos, and personalizing the goals, subs, etc.

You can also lead Zoom group workouts and make use of the ​Gallery View video layout​. Some
people might be hesitant to join Zoom classes because they don’t want you to see their messy
living room. Teach people how to blackout their screen, mute/unmute, and so on. Educate to
relieve some of the anxiety and awkwardness that might be preventing them from showing up.

Some affiliates have integrated Zoom with Facebook so the Zoom calls are automatically
published to Facebook Live. What coaches are noticing is that some people don’t want to show
up for a Zoom call but when a video is pushed to Facebook Live and they can watch it on their
phone, they see how much fun everyone is having, and they’re more likely to get involved.
Basically, it lowers the barrier to entry. Here’s how to sync the two platforms: ​Streaming a
Zoom Meeting on Facebook Live

If you’re hosting Zoom classes already and you’ve been let down by how many people are
showing up, reach out to your members who’ve been MIA. Covid-19 was sudden and it’s been
really confusing. Many people thought it would just sorta pass in a week or two. They had the
mindset of, “Oh, I’ll just take a week off and relax.” But this isn’t a vacation. On the flipside,
maybe they’ve been busier than normal. Schedules and routines have been erased in just a few
weeks. The truth is, we don’t know how long it will last. So, reach out to your people and see
how they’re doing, invite them to a Zoom class (maybe even send them a recording to lower
the barrier to entry) and give them the nudge to get moving again.
