Have you ever followed an influential fitness blogger or been part of a F.I.T. Challenge and thought “I could never do this on my own”? Feeling confident enough in your self and your fitness journey to lead others can often seem like a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. You don’t have to have the best body or know everything about weight management to help others. We’ll show you how!
Step 1 – Define Your Challenge
You've decided you want to run your own F.I.T. Challenge. Now it's time to decide what that means for you. Having a clear vision before you start sets the precedent of the entire experience for your group. Do you want to meet at your house or local gym on workout days for group fitness? Are you participating or just motivating others? Are you promoting the challenge to your customers or gathering a group of friends who need a little extra accountability? Once you know what your challenge IS and what it ISN’T, you’ll be able to clearly communicate to the people you invite to participate what they can expect.
Step 2 – Get Enthusiastic
The right attitude can make or break your F.I.T. Challenge. Now that you know what people can expect from your F.I.T. Challenge, how are you going to make that vision a reality? Maybe it’s motivational social media posts, planned healthy lunches with co-workers or sharing your goals and asking participants to do the same! You don’t have to plan everything you’re going to say or do during the entire challenge, but it is important to have some key elements planned will help you stay positive and motivate others.
Step 3 - Become a Product Expert
This is one of the most important steps in running a F.I.T. Challenge! Understanding the products that make up Clean 9, F15 and Vital 5 is crucial to coaching others to success. The products in the F.I.T. program were specially selected to promote cleansing, weight loss and provide advanced nutrition and compliance is key! Helping your participants understand WHY these products will help them meet their goals will help ensure they take the products consistently and see greater results!
Step 4 - Learn The Program
That’s right, we’re at step four and we’re only just talking about the F.I.T. Program. It seems obvious, but learning the program will help you guide others through it. This doesn’t mean memorizing each exercise plan or making each recipe, but it does mean understanding the fundamental education included, recognizing the different types of exercise and why they are valuable and understanding the healthy eating lessons being presented. The program will always be there to reference for the details but understanding the reasons WHY each element is included will help you coach others to success and make adaptations to fit their lifestyles throughout the program.
Step 5 – Keep In Touch
You will determine how and when you’ll be communicating with your group when you define your challenge. Communication will be a vital part of your F.I.T. Challenge and it works both ways! Did you struggle with your workout this morning? Have a cheat meal? Try a new fitness class? Share these things with your group and ask them to do the same. Honesty and sharing is the backbone of a good challenge! Creating a social media group for your challenge is a great way to share information, progress pictures, workout videos and things that inspire you.
Step 6 – Follow Through
Now you’re ready to start your challenge! Once you have invited customers or friends and clearly communicated what they can expect, it’s time to get busy! Never offer something as part of your F.I.T. Challenge that you can’t follow through on. If you say you’ll meet your group for exercise each morning and frequently cancel, others will feel that their goals aren’t important to you. That’s why it’s important to set reasonable goals for your F.I.T. Challenge and make sure you meet them. People will want to participate in your F.I.T. Challenge because of the accountability and the fun – make sure you hold up your end of the bargain!
