About Group X Files

The Group X Files Podcast is THE place to go to demystify the secrets to leading the best group exercise classes hosted by Sara Keller, an instructor with two decades of experience in addition to being the Group X Director of a high-performing team of 100+ instructors. Each 20-30 minute episode, delivered directly (with occasional sass) and launched every other week, delves into a crucial aspect of instructor development to help take you to the next level of connection with members so you can fill your classes week after week. Whether you are just getting started on your instructor journey or are a veteran in the studio, we will have content to help you self-assess, make small tweaks to amplify your strengths, and grow through the areas that are not yet your strengths. Look for bonus content for Group X managers/directors on building a high-performing team.

   Keeping it 100

   We are taking on 100 from several angles today. As we just celebrated the 100th birthday of one of our group exercise participants, I got thinking about how we can approach 100 ourselves, from a perspective of longevity in teaching but also how we can keep our members looking forward to our classes on their way to 100. It comes down to joy. We have to have it, and we have to help them find it in the movement we share with them. Listen in to hear more about how to keep it 100 all the way to 100!

   Practically Perfect in Every Way

   We all strive to be the best we can for our participants, but what really makes their experience? Jump in to learn about cultivating the ultimate GX experience (and learn about those non-workout elements that greatly factor in) so that you can be the instructor who people come back to over and over again, not because your classes are the hardest or anything like that, but because you are the complete package. You see them. You connect with them. You bring awesome music and vibe. You plan a great workout. You adapt that workout as needed. You are practically perfect in every way!

   Welcome Back and Good To Meet YOU

   Welcome to Season 2 of The Group X Files! We are starting this season with a little "back to school" jitters, what with adding a video component this season. Do I look ok? How's my hair? My make up? My fit? OR we could just embrace being ourselves and letting the messy show through every now and then. Polished chaos, perhaps? Listen in to learn something about self-reflection, the impact video-ing your classes can make on your teaching, and how to choose a theme song that really exemplifies who you are.
