Share the cycle outline
Send it to your members as a newsletter. It gives them the reason behind the sessions.
Every cycle is preceded by an outline in CIRCLE covering what we are doing, why, and the schedule. It is written for you, but plenty of our gyms send it straight to their members as a newsletter or a post.
Why it works
It helps you create content, which is always useful, and it increases buy-in and reduces push-back.
Sessions that might seem redundant to somebody who has never followed this type of program make sense once they know the plan.
How to send it
Many of our gyms share the cycle information with their members as a newsletter. Give them a good idea of what we are doing, how we are doing it and when. We keep cycles short because we write programming for everyday people, and members who know the plan get more excited about the training.
Our aim with every outline is to give you enough information that it feels like you wrote the program yourself. That works on your members too.
