ASFA Fitness Blog: Group Fitness & Bootcamp Instructor -- Getting Ready for Spring!

Get Ready for Spring Bootcamp Classes!

Spring is right around the corner and now is the time to emphasize and update your credentials with a Group Fitness & Bootcamp Instructor Certification from ASFA! 

By the end of winter, many personal training clients get cabin fever.  These personal training clients are ready for spring and ready for warm weather. As a personal trainer or fitness professional, your challenge is to convince them that if they desperately want to be outside, they can enjoy the warm weather while exercising. Instead of experiencing a significant client drop-off, warm weather provides the savvy fitness professional the perfect opportunity to increase their client base by holding outdoor group fitness and bootcamp classes. All fitness professionals know the seasonality of the fitness industry. But, only a few stay up on the trends and seasonality by specializing and continuing their education in relevant fields. There is nothing wrong with specifying in a particular field of interest. However, keeping up with the industry's seasonality is a great way to expand your current portfolio and retain/gain clients at the same time.
