Relationship Between CoachNetwork and énergie
The énergie Group has formed a strategic partnership with CoachNetwork and will exclusively use CoachNetwork life coaches to provide life coaching to members across its network of fitness and wellness businesses. A CoachNetwork member coach will be assigned to each énergie facility to exclusively provide life coaching services to its members.
For background information on our relationship with énergie please refer to the media release on our site.
To summarise how this relationship will work with respect to the énergie deal:
- CoachNetwork life coaches are introduced to an énergie fitness club (or clubs) in their area.
- Each coach is to establish how the relationship works best for them and the club in relation to payment of fees. As a guideline, we suggest 10-20% commission to the club, or a monthly or hourly rate room rental for consultations (this does not apply to the Workout Mindset sessions, only to fully paid coaching sessions).
- No commission is payable to CoachNetwork - the coach must simply have a current CoachNetwork membership which costs USD200/year (approx £120)
"I really thank CoachNetwork for the opportunity to work with énergie Fitness Clubs. It's been a great fit for me and I am now working with 5 clients as a result of it. The partnership is synergistic as énergie is not only interested as their gym members from just a physical standpoint, but from a wholistic point of view. I am happy to be coaching their members to reach their potential in all areas of their lives. Even though I go to énergie just once a week to see their members, I feel a welcomed part of their team and have enjoyed getting to know everyone."
Vora Coaching
énergie's agreement to only use CoachNetwork coaches is an exciting step for the coaching industry... It means that organisations are recognising that as an unregulated industry, there is a great spectrum in terms of the quality of life coaching available. It means that organisations are moving towards ensuring that their staff and clients only get the very best life coaching experience. And this is great news for life coaches, because when clients have a positive life coaching experience it reflects well on the coaching industry.
Being introduced to an énergie club is a much more exciting proposition than a standard gym for a coach. Every new member at an énergie club receives a 6-week induction programme, called émpower, as part of their membership... This INCLUDES a "Workout Mindset" session (coaching)... The choice for you as a life coach is to a) run a half hour Workout Mindset session with every new member in a club (free or at the rate payable to fitness instructors in the club); b) run a combination of group and individual Workout Mindset Sessions; or c) train one or more of the staff members to do this for you. Each of these Workout Mindset sessions provides the opportunity to upsell to your own coaching package. Basically it means that every new member is being introduced to what life coaching is - so you have an educated market and an unprecedented opportunity to build a relationship with people who have already identified that they want to start closing gaps in their lives!
The énergie Head Office team is VERY supportive of coaching and has been educating the franchisees that their members' mindset is extremely important if they are to continue their exercise programme. The buzzword in the fitness club industry is "retention"... Retention of members is the biggest challenge and the folks at énergie actually understand the connection between a client's beliefs about exercise and their retention rates.
So... this is not just like a coach putting up their flyers in the gym. This is an educated market that if well nurtured by the life coach locally (I would encourage lots of relationship/rapport building with staff who have one-on-one contact with members) could provide their whole client base. It's a seriously fantastic opportunity!
Pricing Policy
Rates for life coaching packages have not been fixed by CoachNetwork as the following factors need to be considered on a case-by-case basis:
- coaches need the freedom to set their own rates based on their skills and experience;
- membership demographics vary between clubs, with membership fees varying between clubs depending on this.
It is up to the life coach to find an appropriate balance between these two factors when determining pricing policy.
