Ep 54: “I can make ANYONE passionate about exercise” with Bevan James Eyles
Listen on…
Today’s podcast guest is a good friend and one of Will’s Group Fitness role models, Bevan James Eyles. Bevan has been a world leading Instructor for a LONG time and one of the things we love most about him is that he still has just as much passion and gets just as much joy out of teaching today as he did 20 years ago. In case you missed it, checkout out his first appearance on the podcast all about building community and the secret to longevity as a Group Fitness Instructor.
We’re really excited to have Bev back, because we want YOU to hear about his new book - “I Will Make You Passionate About Exercise”. This book is NOT for fit people. It’s for people who struggle to exercise, period. And that's why the message is so important.
As you will already know if you're a regular listener, helping instructors to connect with people new to exercise is key to our mission at SH1FT Fitness. Our industry has always done a great job reaching the 20% of people who already exercise... but we've also consistently overlooked the 80% who are still on the sofa... and this represents a HUGE opportunity for instructors to impact their communities, and grow their customer base!
If you’re passionate about this too, give this episode a listen and be sure to pick up the book as resource for your clients. Here’s the link: https://www.passionaboutexercise.com
