The Fitness Manger's Report

The Value- Driven Fitness Manager with Victoria Tolbert-Ashley

Staci Alden Season 1 Episode 19

The fitness industry has always been a complicated world, but it has become even more complex since the pandemic. Some facilities and businesses have chosen to adjust to this new world, while some are very much stuck in their ways. As a "middle-manager, " we must determine if where we are is the right fit. Life is too short, and there's too much impact gone to waste if we continue to work for companies that don't align with our values, goals, and mission. I'm excited to meet with Victoria Tolbert-Ashley to get real about the state of the industry and how you, as a manager, can assess where you are now, identify if it works for you, and take steps to take action or determine your exit strategy.

Here are the questions I ask Victoria:

1️⃣ You've held many roles in the industry as a consultant and leader of large teams. What does it mean to be a "Value-Driven Fitness Manager"?

2️⃣ You encourage fitness professionals and managers to consider their "exit strategy." How would you describe determining that and the ideas you share with your clients and mentorees?

3️⃣ What are your top 3 recommendations for Fitness Managers to do to determine whether the facility and team they work with align with their values and goals?
