Teaching in a gym is easy. You show up, plug in, and leave. Teaching independently? You are the entire operations department. Don't panic. Here is your checklist.
The Tech Bag
- Bluetooth Speaker (Charged!)
- Backup Aux Cord (Bluetooth fails)
- Phone Charger & Battery Pack
- Tripod (if filming content)
The Admin
- Waivers (Digital QR code or paper copies)
- Sign-in Sheet (Capture emails!)
- Cash box or Square Reader (for walk-ins)
The Timeline
30 Mins Before: Arrive at venue. Check locks. Turn on heat/AC.
15 Mins Before: Music on (low volume). Doors open. Greet every human.
5 Mins After: The "Ask." Remind them to book next week.
15 Mins After: Clean up. Lock up. Leave it better than you found it.
