Small group training building communities and profits

-  Steve Jack -

The burgeoning trend of working with small groups means that not only does results-based programming become cheaper for members, it also drives a higher yield from staff. 

One of the biggest advantages of small group training is the sense of community that develops between participants. These people feel part of a tribe and establish close relationships with other group members (something the industry has been trying to achieve for years).

At the Flame Conference I will be discussing in some depth how to make small group training work, but here are a few thoughts for now:

1. You need to consider the environment for group training - typically the gym floor doesn’t work that well

2. You also need the whole programme pre-choreographed; leaving it up to the instructors always leads to quality control issues and the breakdown of the programme’s integrity 

3. Small group programming must be targeted to specific outcomes 

4. Quality control and performance indicators should be built into systems

5. Continuation programmes must be developed or members simply fall off the back and have nowhere to go

6. Group members must receive a lot of extra support material so the programming is easily distinguishable from a class.

Small group training can be incredibly effective and highly profitable but only when you avoid the deadly mistakes that I will reveal in my seminar.
