Whoa! With all due respect, I don't know about scrapping it! While I agree maybe it is time to diversify with group classes, there will ALWAYS be people out there who require one on one attention. I got into this business as a client, not a trainer, and I would never do well in a bootcamp type setting. I want the one on one time so I know I am doing all the right things specifically for me. We have many clients who are the same way. So I know there are more of them out there, it's just a matter of getting more creative to connect to them. I live in an area with a very high median income and low cost of living, so there are certainly people out there who can afford one on one and demand the attention. Unfortunately our studio is set up specifically for the one on one setting, so if I do group classes we'll have to find another location. The parks around here are impossible to deal with, so I'm going to have to get creative there too.
