Welcome back! I hope everyone’s doing well and managing quarantining somewhat well (as well as one could). Keep washing your hands and staying 6 feet apart! This will all end soon! Anyways, onto the updates.
Business Updates:
- One of the center owners and I both did our test trials this past Friday. She did hers at the center with a friend, and I did mine with a group of my friends. Both had some minor difficulties, but it was a good way for us to work out any kinks. For the most part, things went well, but we still need to figure out how we can have both the music and our cuing heard by the customer at the same time. Usually this is no problem with the in-person classes because the two feed into each other on the speaker, but we do not have access to this kind of equipment in the house. However, we are thinking about doing the classes in the center to fix this issue.
- We have decided that instead of Zoom, we are going to use Facebook Live through our center’s personal page.
- We are announcing to our customers today, Monday, March 30th, 2020, that we will be going forward with the Facebook Live Jazzercise classes.
- We are still working on the set schedule, and we still have a lot of aspects to figure out going forward regarding this change which will take time. But we will have our first class this upcoming Thursday, and the rest will be TBD.
It has been a lot of work, adjusting, and communication to figure out the plan going forward, but it’s also been a great (yet interesting) learning experience. Our customers have also been amazing and supportive throughout this whole experience, and it definitely helps us to motivate ourselves to put in the effort.
