These Things Won’t Change

We were forced to shut down for two months like most of the small businesses in our area.

People throughout the fitness industry were screaming from the rooftops that the business of fitness would be changed forever.

They weren’t wrong, but the vast majority of them were talking about they wrong things.

Almost all of them were talking about all of the things that were going to change.

The recurring theme from the ‘gurus’ is that the days of most people going to the gym are over. Online fitness was where it was at and your only hope at saving your business.

They should have been talking about all of the things that were NOT going to change.

Well, my fitness guru and mentor Pat Rigsby was dead on when he told me and others that most humans need a certain few things to be successful in their fitness journey.

While everyone else was talking about all of the things that were going to change because of the pandemic, he was talking about doubling and tripling down on the things that WON’T CHANGE. They are the very things that we doubled down on here at ITS.

Things like:

Connection – humans are ‘herd animals’. Most of us don’t do very well when we are isolated for long stretches of time. That’s more obvious now than ever before.

Community – on some level, we all want to be a part of something.

Feeling important – We all want to feel like someone genuinely cares about us, our lives, our situations, our wins, our losses, etc…

Accountability – Everyone needs accountability from time to time. Let’s be honest, virtual accountability isn’t going to work for most people. Trust me, I have proof from the two months that we were shut down…LOL!

Not only did those not change, they became more important than ever.

While some freaky people can navigate their fitness journey without connection, community, accountability and a feeling of importance, the vast majority cannot.

Which of these are most important to you?
