Can we share something with you?

We don't want you to teach REFIT®.  

Now before you start an email to the home office filled with concern and criticism, let us explain.

We don't want you to teach REFIT®...we want you to live REFIT®.

There's a difference between the two, and we're asking you to take inventory and decide whether you're teaching or living REFIT®.  We've identified two major distinctions:

ONE

TEACHING REFIT® puts focus on the specific nuts and bolts of class:  the order of the playlist, the intensity level of the workout, the choreography, the use of Connection Cards, etc.
LIVING REFIT® puts focus on how the nuts and bolts work together to create a powerful, unifying experience.

TWO

TEACHING REFIT® creates an inward focus. Your instructorship, your performance, your mistakes, your class attendance, etc. all become ways in which you measure your success as an instructor.
LIVING REFIT® creates an outward focus.  You measure your success by smiles, laughter, new friendships, dedicated fans and a community of acceptance.

So?  Are you teaching or living?  Are you a little of both?  Neither?  That's completely okay!  It's normal for instructors to stress out about the practicals of building a class and forget the intention behind it.  In contrast, it's also normal for instructors to focus on the "big picture" and throw the details out the window.

With experience comes wisdom, and our hope is that each class will bring you closer and closer to living REFIT®...not just teaching it.  And here's our bit of wisdom for you today:

Keep your mind focused on the destination, but keep your heart focused on the journey.

Can we commit to putting down the road map and looking at our passengers?  Can you keep their faces and their stories before you as you make decisions and choices not in an effort to cater to them, but in an attempt to create for them?  Can you hold your fitness community with an open hand, not a clenched fist? Can you give 100% to each class knowing that it's ultimately and completely out of your control?
If you're answer is "yes" then you're well on your way to living REFIT®,  and we truly believe your classes will dramatically change as a result.  (And if you're not a REFIT® instructor, no worries!  You can apply this same focus and intention to your own fitness class.  We wish you lots of growth and connection!)

We want you living REFIT® and with each shared experience and joy-filled heart...we know that you absolutely are.  (Oh, and don't hesitate to share your wisdom with us on how to live REFIT!  Simply hit "reply" and share with us, or tag us on social media using the #liveREFIT hashtag!)
