This fitness franchise engaged us to provide a
Train the Trainer workshop in Denver, Colorado for their in-house
trainers. Their franchisees have to learn a significant amount of
information in a short period of time. We had to show the trainers
(who trains the franchisees) that not all information is of equal
importance. The positive outcome of each training doesn't depend
on how much information was packed into the curriculum, but rather
how much was integrated and used by the learners after the training.
We showed them a "whole-brain" model that inevitably leads to increased
comprehension and faster learning.
Additionally, we demonstrated how the body and brain are connected, and how the state of physiology is a crucial component in how ready a person is to learn. Getting the body involved in the learning process, especially for kinesthetic learners, will improve a training to a degree that may be surprising to even experienced trainers.
Many trainers know that learners can not sit and passively take in information for long periods of time. The problem is that trainers often do not know what to do instead, or they don’t feel that they have “permission” to do things differently. There is a knowing/doing gap that needs to be bridged. We helped to close the gap, and Fitness Together in Denver has worked on reorganizing their curriculum and training environment to better meet their learners’ needs.
The excitement these trainers displayed during the 2 days in Denver, Colorado was truly remarkable, and they were “chomping at the bits” to implement everything they learned. Here are a few comment from that event.
"It's like a Red Bull “energy drink for your training course"
"Non-stop learning in an extremely interactive environment. Anyone who trains/teaches would benefit from this course. Focus on Adult Learning principles and techniques that are sure to improve retention of info. Learning how to incorporate activities into presentations and not rely on PowerPoint. Highly recommended!".
"This course makes meaningful connections on how adults learn. Gives participants strategies on how to apply the principles of Accelerated Learning. Lots of activities, music, creativity and fun. Will connect the dots for any trainer/presenter on how to improve the educational experience. If you want to make an impact as a trainer and really change someone’s life, take this course!".
