We’re planning Q2 CE for our 14-trainer team and I’m deciding between hosting two in-club workshops (Tuesdays 1–3 pm in Studio B) or offering $300 per trainer in reimbursements. For those managing teams, which option has moved the needle most on member satisfaction and session renewals without blowing up floor coverage, and any course topics or providers you’d recommend?
But run one ‘Tuesdays 1–3 pm’ FMS+renewals workshop (functionalmovement.com), then $150 targeted reimbursements; record it. Member age mix?
Building on @derekwood55’s hybrid idea, I’d split the team and run two 75-min in-club labs the same afternoon, then have each trainer book three “member progress consults” that week using basic MI — like a lab-and-reps superset for renewals. For content, pair a quick movement screen refresh with a renewals role-play; the MI primer at https://motivationalinterviewing.org is plenty without a full cert. What’s your Tuesday peak hour so we can pick the split, and are you tracking consult-to-renewal rate now?
Run one in‑club lab on motivational interviewing for renewals with 30‑min live role‑play using your actual intake forms, then schedule 15‑min “shadow‑and‑coach” blocks that week where a lead cues the transition to the next package; that bumped our close rate about 8% — like tightening the bolts before swapping the bike. For reimbursements, keep them targeted to gaps by member mix (e.g., Functional Aging Institute for 55+: https://functionalaginginstitute.com) and cap at one course per trainer. What are your peak floor windows so you can rotate those shadow blocks without blowing coverage?
