Best Hour of Their Day | Podcast

Fern and Ackerman lead a coaches development zoom call for the coaching staff of CrossFit Liberate in Athens, Georgia. If you are interested in having us lead a call for your affiliate, email us, besthouroftheirday@gmail.com

Fern and Matt From Forever Fierce discuss how to operate your your affiliate with potentially reduced revenue and still operate optimally.  Affiliate owners are looking at maybe having to step back into the business but there are options when using Virtual Assistants and having these folks take the time consuming tasks that aren't customer facing.  They discuss tasks that a VA could do that are both reporting based and retention based.  There are a lot of nuggets in this episode.

Fern and Dave from O2 are on for episode #2 of what O2 and some other companies are doing in order to help affiliate owners.  Retention is the key to surviving and acquiring new clients isn't the name of the game for a while.  O2 along with Bear Komplex, Born Primitive and Puori, have banned together to offer 100$ to all members who keep their memberships on through the month of May in order to try to drive retention and help affiliates stay alive.

Todd, Fern, and Ackerman discuss the value of using heart rate tracking during CrossFit classes and how often we should be hitting benchmark workouts.

As boxes prepare to reopen, what is the best way to ease members back into training, with the priority being to keep them safe and injury free?

Ackerman, Fern, and Todd discuss how, when, and what affiliates should do as we approach the end of the quarantine.

Nicole Carroll is the Executive Director of CrossFit Certifications and Training.  She and Fern take a deep dive into the new L-1 Online Offering and discuss all the details of who is eligible, what it entails, the size and scope of the course and everything else people want to know about it.  They also discuss the new CrossFit Kids online offering and how CFHQ training department is pushing day and night to continue to provide for those people that want to further their education and keep their credentials up to date.  There are some L4 teasers in there too, but we will have her back on for a L4 discussion at a later date.  Enjoy.
