If you are a fitness instructor, you are likely constantly working on improving your program in order to get more people involved. With so many fitness programs available to consumers, it can be hard to stand out among the crowd. However, there are a few things that you can do in order to reach out to a wider audience and get new people attending. Here are a few ideas to help you get going. 

Improve Your Confidence

Being a fitness instructor can be extremely challenging. Fitness programs are hard to teach and, in some cases, even complete. As such, it can be challenging to convey your expertise and knowledge. You may feel like gym patrons can sense fear or anxiety, so confidence is key. If you feel like you do not have many repeat patrons, work on improving your confidence levels. Find something that makes you feel really good about yourself, and then do it consistently. The more confident you are the more confident your fitness class patrons will be in you. 

Offer Modifications

If you look around in a public setting you will see that everyone is at their own stage of fitness. Many fitness programs struggle because they do not reach out to a broad enough audience. Providing modifications to the program you offer may help people feel more comfortable when trying something new. Even if you are teaching a program that requires a high level of fitness, modifications can be offered. For example, you could show patrons how to make the move harder instead of easier. 

Invest in Advertising

Another reason why you may have a hard time finding patrons is that cannot find your program. Taking the time to invest in advertising may be the smartest thing you ever do. Think about who you are trying to reach (online patrons or people in your local area) and then develop an advertising plan on how to reach them. It may cost a bit, but it will likely have a big payoff if you can get some new patrons. 

Instead of feeling like you are not doing enough as a fitness instructor, you can make a few minor changes that could turn your business around. Most people really want to be fit, they just need to find a fitness program that they feel suits them well. You can help them to see that yours is the right one.
