Coaching & Teaching

“For Time” with Myriad – Episode #54

[Disclaimer: We apologize for the technical difficulties this week with the sound. Thank you for your patience.]

Although the sound was not what we wanted, this conversation was too good to pass up.

Coach Marta (YES!!! She called herself that and we are pumped!) and Coach Jared talk about the focus for 2025 at Myriad Fitness + Yoga… Coaching & Teaching.

Group Fitness has become a commodity over the last 10 years and to differentiate ourselves, we have to focus on COACHING in our fitness classes and TEACHING in our yoga classes. We took some time during this episode to share how this will show up for our members in 2025 and beyond:

1) All Staff Feedback Challenge: Every quarter, we offer a new challenge for our entire staff that highlights one of our five core values (POPS-G). This month we are focusing on Open + Honest in which our coaches/teachers will be offering feedback to one another after taking another staff member’s class.

2) Player – Coaching: A Player Coach is a Staff Member attending class and working out alongside you, who is still available to answer questions, offer suggestions, or get eyes on your movements.

3) Two Coaches in Bigger Classes: We will have a Lead Coach and an Assistant Coach. The goal of additional coaches is to help provide more support to all athletes during the workout, to make sure that all movements and scaling / modification options are understood, and to allow every athlete to receive coaching and attention.

4) Secret Cohort: This is so secret that this is all we can say about it 🙂

5) Yoga Teaching Workshops: We host quarterly, “teach the teacher” sessions in which bigger concepts are taught and discussed amongst the Myriad Yoga staff. In addition, our teachers often attend local workshops as continuing education credits are necessary to remain compliant as a Yoga teacher.

6) CrossFit Training Youtube Page: “This is an online resource for those searching for in-depth CrossFit coach training, education, insights, movements, and more for the global CrossFit community. We take CrossFit coaches, and we make them better.”
