Whether you are a sub or a regular instructor you never know who is going to walk into your room. Last week we talked about how integrating trauma-informed principles in fitness can help you hold space for you and your students to get the results they want out of your classes. Today we are taking that one step further with the practical application of those skills. Our work IN today are 3 next level instructor skills you can use in real time to help students get more out of their workout and for you as an instructor to move from performance into presence.

You’re subbing and there you’re at the front of the room. Finally you get a chance to show what you can do. The music’s rockin’, you’ve got your sequence ready to go, and you know it’s gonna be a tough workout. Not just tough but killer, like anyone who comes to this class is gonna get their ass kicked. And isn’t that what everyone wants out of fitness?  And then the unthinkable happens.  Someone walks out.

It’s crushing. What happened? Are they injured? Did they have an emergency? Did you cause it? That’s our Work IN today. How to read the room as a sub and still be yourself as an instructor. Why trauma informed instruction matters to successful fit pros and how you can make it work for you as you establish your professional credibility.
