PODCAST DESCRIPTION: In this episode, I join Jono Petrohilos, Co-Founder of Fitness Education Online, to discuss the exciting evolution of group fitness and how instructors can step into their power as entrepreneurial FitPros.

We explore my ideas of a new business model for group fitness professionals — the HYBRID Business - one that goes beyond the studio and opens up opportunities in digital delivery, events, niche programming, and brand-building.

We chat about

* Why the traditional group fitness model is changing — and fast

* How instructors can transition from employee to entrepreneur

* Building your own brand with classes, online programmes, and events

* Using digital tools to automation to scale your business while staying personal

This episode is packed with ideas, mindset shifts, and practical steps for instructors ready to take control of their income and impact.
