VOICE is a Significant Part of Every Class

VOICE IS A SIGNIFICANT PART OF EVERY CLASS. "Data display overwhelming agreement among fitness professionals that VOICE has a significant impact on every class (100% of 230 respondents)".

.

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT. HOW OFTEN does this happen in research?

.

Must be about a VERY important topic. ;)

.

This data point is from research I did back in 2018 that was published in the Spring of 2020. Approximately 230 fitness professionals nationwide responded to a voluntary and anonymous online questionnaire consisting of twenty items addressing voice care, voice use, vocal demands, and self-reported vocal difficulties within the fitness instructor role. These fitness professionals instructed a variety of fitness class styles including indoor cycling, high intensity interval training/boot camp, barre, yoga, Lagree/pilates, dance, zumba, and aerobics.

.

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of respondents agreed that VOICE has a significant impact on every class.  (100%!)

.

93% of respondents consider themselves occupational voice users. (woohoo! BECAUSE as fitness professionals, YOU ARE OCCUPATIONAL VOICE USERS)…

.

~78% affirmed they have never had a vocal training, but over 81% teach three or more classes per week and quality as vocal athletes.

.

When asked if the instructors felt they were “hydrated well enough”, over half of the respondents answered “no” or “sometimes” versus “yes”. (nooooooo)

.

92% of respondents feel a vocal training would be beneficial for their work in the fitness industry, with 85% stating they would be interested in attending such a training. (Hi I’m Sara with @voxfit_ ;)… and I’m proud of you for wanting to prioritize your voice)

.

Stay tuned for more results and information on this topic!
