Quotes:
“I just don't want to be bogged down on a weekly basis. So who are those members that are there consistently, that are a big part of the community, and that are qualified to teach? [Nick, 5:54]
“I always think that's a great idea, having a pool of subs at all times, but I feel like this is something that I'm pretty sure Net Gym software will automate for you. Even if you're not using Net Gym, it's a great idea to have some sort of blocking system.” [Megan, 6:55]
“You might have your core people that you do rely on to cover subs, and that could be your core people in a sub pool or it could be your core lead instructors that are treating this more like a career and not just a part time gig.” [Nick, 21:26]
