The Group Fitness Triple Threat Series

2025 is one of the biggest shakeups we've seen in the Group Fitness industry in a long time. 

If you're an instructor and you're still teaching the way you did five years ago, you're falling behind. 

If you're waiting for someone to just give you a raise or increase your instructor pay... I'm sorry to say it's not happening.

But if you're ready to adapt, pivot, and get ahead of the trends, then you're in the right place. 

 We've created a brand new podcast series: “The group fitness triple threat” where we are breaking down the three massive shifts that are transforming our industry right now and giving you a complete action plan for each one. 

 It's 10 episodes, each 10 minutes or less. We are not here to waste your time, we're getting straight to the point. 

In each episode you’ll hear the trend, what it means for you, and one action step that you can take today to make the most of what is changing. Think of it as your triple threat advantage: 

1. Master your formats

2. Understand your members

3. Build your business.

 This is the most comprehensive look at where group fitness is heading in 2025. No fluff, no hype, just real actionable insights to future-proof your career. And the best part is that we've also created the Group Fitness Triple Threat Guide, your 2025 Action Plan. A downloadable guide with all the key info that you'll be able to download as soon as the first episode drops. 

This series launches on Monday, so subscribe now so you don't miss out.

This isn't just another fitness podcast. This is Group Fitness Real Talk, where we cut through the noise and tell you exactly what's happening in the industry, and what you, as an instructor, needs to do about it. And this year, the shifts are massive.  I'm Will Brereton, founder of Shift Fitness, and I've spent years at the front lines of group fitness, training instructors, designing programs, and watching every shift happen in real time.

And let me tell you, 2025 is one of the biggest shakeups we've seen in a long time. Okay, so here's the deal. 

If you're an instructor and you're still teaching the way you did five years ago, you're falling behind. 

If you're waiting for someone to just give you a raise or increase your instructor pay... I'm sorry to say, it's not happening.

But if you're ready to adapt, pivot, and get ahead of the trends, then you're in the right place. 

Group Fitness Real Talk is the place for no BS commentary on the fitness industry from the perspective of an actual group fitness instructor who's been doing this for 20 years and who's worked with and trained thousands of instructors across the globe.

It's a data backed podcast for group fitness instructors specifically who want to stay ahead, make more money, and build real career security. 

And we've created a brand new podcast series just for you. The group fitness triple threat series, your 2025 action plan. We were breaking down the three massive shifts that are transforming our industry right now.

 It's 10 episodes, each 10 minutes or less. We are not here to waste your time. So we're getting straight to the point. We're going to tell you the trend. What it means for you, and one action step that you can take today to make the most of what is changing.

Because the industry isn't waiting for you to catch up, and neither should you. So let's break down what's coming. 

Part 1, we're going to talk about Format Evolution. 

The way we teach is transforming. If Les Mills, the biggest name in pre choreographed fitness, is backing away from beat based formats, what does that tell you about the future of exercise to music? Meanwhile, strength training is dominating everything, circuit training is making a massive comeback, and Pilates, well it's evolving in ways that nobody expected. 

Part 2 is about Member Changes.

Who we're teaching to has changed. Major gym chains are rolling out weight loss drug protocols. Which means that we're about to see a wave of members losing weight fast, but struggling to maintain muscle. Most members have a fitness tracker. And while digital platforms are struggling, live classes are stronger than ever.

Are you ready to meet your new member needs? 

And then in Part 3, I'm going to give you business realities. 

Your career path? Well, it's changing fast. Instructor pay is finally shifting, but only if you play it smart. AI isn't here to replace you, but if you're not using it, you're making your job harder.

And social media? Well, it's warping our perception of what actually works in class, but you can make it work to your advantage.

This is the most comprehensive look at where group fitness is heading in 2025. No fluff, no hype, just real actionable insights to future proof your career. Over the next 10 episodes, we're going to give you the playbook for what's coming next. Think of it as your triple threat advantage. Master your formats, understand your members, and build your business.

So why should you listen? Because this industry won't wait for you to catch up. You have two choices. One, ignore the shifts, get left behind. Or two, adapt, stay ahead and take control. 

Other podcasts might talk about trends and the fitness industry generally. I listen to a lot of them, but this podcast is different. This is the only podcast that tells you what it actually means for your career as a group fitness instructor specifically. I am talking to you, the person that teaches classes, the person that creates community, the person that's there on the ground.

We're going to give you real industry data. Not just opinions, although you're going to get some of those too. We're going to talk about why it matters and what's next. And we're going to give you one step that you can take the day you listen to stay ahead. 

And the best part, we've also created the Group Fitness Triple Threat Guide, your 2025 Action Plan. A downloadable guide with all the key info that you'll be able to download as soon as the first episode drops. 

This series launches on Monday, so subscribe now so you don't miss out. Remember, the industry isn't waiting for you, but we welcome you to join us for the ride.
