Not that big box.
I sent out an email last week, asking:
Do you teach at a Big Box and a Boutique Studio?
By "Big Box" I'm referring to one of the majors with multiple locations; 24 Hour, LA Fitness, Club Sports, Equinox, etc..
If so I'd like to talk to you and (if it makes sense) interview you for the Podcast...
After sorting through over 300 responses (thanks to you all!) I followed up with some additional detail about the topics I was hoping to explore:
What I'm trying to learn from you is:
- Is teaching at a Big Box different from a small studio?
- If so, how are you or your classes different?
- Are you a "different" person/Instructor at each location?
- Do you enjoy teaching at one vs. the other
- Do you feel limited and/or empowered at one vs. the other?
- Are you more motivated to promote and build your class numbers at one over the other?
- What quick advice would your offer a new instructor on-boarding at either?

John,
I teach at Big Box (ClubOne now Active Sports) with a 35 bike studio and at Google which I believe falls into the Boutique category though Googlers don’t pay per seat. I still have to manage class size by being there early to pass out tickets.
I’m happy to talk to you about that experience. The corporate boutique so-to-speak.
