Overcoming Alcoholism to Forge a Health Legacy: Gary's Inspirational Fitness Journey at 50+
Manage episode 400728260 series 2798350
Nothing moves people like a story.
More than mere facts, and more than promotions or advertising, a good story makes us feel something. We relate to it. We want to take action, even if it’s just talking about the story some more.
Here’s an example of how powerful storytelling can be – for people trying to improve their lives and for a gym or fitness studio.
Gary shared his story with me, which I then shared with my audience… and the beautiful way it circled back to him was profound.
If you want to grow your audience and move them to join your club, you can’t talk about yourself all the time. Remember the stories are rarely about you, the fitness professional. Make them about your clients and prospects, help them connect to each other and to the power of healthy living — and you can’t go wrong.
