Webinar 1: Learning How To Use Everfit’s Tools And Features To Their Full Potential

The first webinar dives into how trainers can simplify and supercharge their coaching setup with Everfit. Hosted by Keira from Forward Moves, it showcases how Everfit’s powerful tools help coaches optimize their workflows and accomplish more with less effort. Keira demonstrates how features like automation and streamlined client management can cut down on tedious admin tasks, giving coaches more time to focus on what they do best—coaching.

The key takeaways are as follows: 

• Client profile optimization. Coaches can use Everfit’s features to track client progress and set goals. They can also keep private notes with it (which are handy for unique interactions). 
• Exercise Library Management: Everfit makes it easy for coaches to organize and manage exercise videos, whether they’re uploaded directly or linked from platforms like YouTube or Vimeo. This ensures your video library is neatly arranged and easy for them to navigate, saving time and enhancing the coaching experience.
• Task management. Coaches can create recurring task libraries that reduce repetitive work, like taking photos or client measurements. 
• Metric tracking. Coaches can benefit from Everfit’s metric tracking capabilities in areas like body composition, reducing manual work. 
• Recipe library. Everfit’s recipe library is new and provides nutritional resources to share with clients.
• Onboarding flows. Everfit automates the client onboarding process simpler, enabling coaches to create different flows based on client needs (including the use of specific forms or resources). 
• Community forum. Everfit can link autoflows to community forums to drive ongoing engagement (such as leaderboards or challenges). Separate forums are available for each client type.

And much more. Explore the essential tools to kickstart and elevate your coaching business with Everfit.

Webinar 2: Setting Up A New Year’s Challenge On Everfit

Webinar 2 session dives into creating a seamless New Year’s challenge experience on Everfit, with a focus on ensuring smooth client onboarding and efficient payment management. Keira breaks down the process of handling payments, automating sign-ups, and reducing manual tasks, empowering coaches to focus on delivering value to their clients. The webinar highlights strategies to boost client participation and engagement while simplifying the administrative side of running a challenge.

Here are the key takeaways: 

• Choice of challenge types. On Everfit, participants can choose from various “passive” New Year’s challenges.
• Package and payment setup. Everfit allows coaches to offer clients one-time payment or subscription options. Payments can begin immediately or on the following Monday after sign-up. 
• Onboarding flows. Everfit makes the challenge onboarding process easier for participants by using advanced features, like conditional questions in sign-up forms. These help to automatically assign programs to users based on their selections. 
• External payment platform integration. Everfit integrates with external payment platforms, like Stripe and Newie using Zapier. This tool automates the onboarding and registration process, linking payments to specific users. 
• Automation. Everfit uses various automation tools in tandem with Zaiper to integrate with external payment systems while assigning challenges automatically. 
• Trial periods. Everfit permits coaches to implement free trial periods before payment starts to onboard clients who want to avoid being charged immediately. (However, coaches should also avoid providing too much value upfront to avoid cancellations). 
• Leaderboards. Everfit allows coaches to integrate leaderboards with the community group for motivational purposes. Numerous metrics are available, like steps or mini-challenges, catering to client requirements.

Webinar 3: Making A Success Of Your New Year’s Challenge

In the final session, Ashley from Forward Moves shares expert strategies to make your New Year’s challenge a standout success. She dives into key Everfit features—like tasks, messages, and leaderboards—that drive client motivation and create healthy competition. Ashley also explores the power of community forums and effective incentives to keep clients engaged and on track, providing actionable insights to help you elevate your coaching game.

See the key takeaways below: 

• Consistent challenge promotion. Execute continuous promotion, allowing coaches to regularly post challenges across platforms to enhance audience engagement and brand visibility. 
• Marketing momentum. Successful New Year’s challenge launches rely on sustained marketing efforts that start around six weeks before launch, or perhaps earlier. Coaches should build hype and momentum slowly and maintain efforts over time. 
• Scarcity and urgency. Successful New Year’s challenges should also have elements of scarcity and urgency, perhaps with early-bird discounts for highly motivated clients. 
• Unique selling proposition (USP) for the challenge. New Year’s challenges need a compelling USP that separates them from the competition and makes them stand out. Coaches can achieve this through tailoring programs or offering unique engagement opportunities. 
• Leverage Everfit’s Features for Success. New Year’s challenges thrive with the support of a professional platform like Everfit. Its in-app tools allow coaches to seamlessly integrate customized solutions, making it easier to deliver a cohesive and engaging experience for every client.
• Add nutrition challenges. Incorporating proper nutrition into New Year’s challenges can make the results more beneficial to clients, and something coaches should focus on. Undereating or social influences can prevent some clients from moving firmly toward their goals.
