Hard to believe...but on January 20, 2014, I answered an NYC Craigslist ad placed by 3 Singaporean business partners who created both Singapore & Southeast Asia’s very first independent boutique indoor cycling studio, which opened June 2014.

I created two rhythm-based indoor cycling formats: 1 riding to the beat of the music with metrics & 1 riding to the beat of the music with choreography & weights. The clients wanted to “…really shake up people’s perception of indoor cycling as a workout…” (a direct quote from an email I received from @soondiggity on January 24, 2014!)

4 mos later, 8 mos later....and seemingly several times a year for the next 10 years... more cycling studios would come & go in Singapore, as would many other boutique fitness concepts new to the region.

From being one of the only people on the bus or MRT in Lululemon heading into the Central Business District (the first Singapore Lulu store wouldn’t open until later in 2014 @lululemonsoutheastasia!)to seeing boutique fitness studios in some neighborhoods with nearly the same frequency as kopitiams....it has been one big shift over the past decade.

Singapore was the first part of the story. Many more parts followed.

Especially over the next 2 months, to commemorate from first email contact with these former clients to landing @ Changi Airport on March 15, 2014, I will be sharing what I know will be impactful tools that YOU will benefit from implementing, if right for you & your fitness environment.

I’d love to have you along!

PS: I have a free, comprehensive studio Audit that will uncover the gaps in your business, provide tangible action steps & allow you to find joy in what you’re doing incredibly well. This Audit + accompanying video details my signature best practices that I’ve learned over the last 10 years and in 18 countries. Linked in bio! taken in Singapore by @noelcycles

I believe that rest is incredibly important in the group fitness and personal training industry where we are using our bodies AND our voices to coach and make a living.

And I believe this because
voice issues disproportionately affects group fitness instructors:

Up to 80% of group fitness instructors self-report vocal issues as compared to 30% of the general population…

…that stat is NOT good, yall 🤯

Let me know here or via DM if you try my suggestion to start keeping your voice healthy & distinctive for years to come ! 🫶🏻✨

What if there were different questions to ask to lead to better outcomes for both boutique fitness studio owners AND instructors?

I had a past client tell me that their instructors were the last on the team to get paid because “they’re rich kids who don’t need the money” 🤯 (true story)

Strong systems. Culture that’s molded from the top down. Evaluations. Building-in cost of living raises. Offering continuing education resources annually. Looking earnestly @ ESOP as an option.

Studio owners, managers, lead instructors: what would you add?

Starting conversations with loved ones about aging & planning for their final era needs is a gift.

If you’re new around this corner of Insta, @noel__writes is where I talk about subjects like Gen X / elder millenial adult children caring for our Boomer parents as they age

& @noelcycles is for all things boutique fitness studios, voice care, hospitality-focused operating systems for studios & indoor cycling 🚲🎶

I’m glad you’re here 🫶🏻

I understand when there’s no one to cover classes….asking someone maaaaaybe not quite ready….to step in & teach….

…because I understand not canceling 2 classes last minute & losing $$ (boutique fitness studio) AND not delivering to clients!

Feedback is important but I’d argue that the timing of the giving the feedback is equally important.

Studio owners, managers & lead instructors: how would you have handled this situation?

The long goodbye is a head-trip. Dementia is a nightmare. People are resilient. Love is everlasting. Grieving someone still alive is a different grief than grieving someone who has died.

Thanks for being here.

If you, fitness studio owner & I were chatting over coffee & you mentioned you were thinking about spending big $$$ & time to add a Pilates or Reformer-adjacent or Lagree-adjacent format to your studio, here’s what I’d tell you.

Also…wild to hear that Lifetime Fitness has removed cycle from a lot of their clubs; short sided move IMO…cause the trends always cycle-back (heehee) 🙃 ✌🏻
