Application Process:

​

Step 1: Prepare Your Practical Application

1. Come in for an “application class” to film and show us your skills

   1. Use the coupon code “energyexchangeapplicant” at checkout to receive this class on the house. Book here: www.shinefit.co/book

2. At the class, film 2-3 clips of the class on your phone. We are looking for quality here! Make sure they are focused, have good lighting, have an angle that shows how many people are in the class OR a closeup of an instructor/participant. Whenever you’re not filming, you’re welcome to participate in the workout. 

   1. Pro Tip:

      1. Clip 1: closeup of instructor “showing off for the camera” (don’t worry, our instructors loooooove doing this naturally) 

      2. Clip 2: full class doing movements. Extra pro tip: film on the 2nd or 3rd round of a track for the class to be more coordinated

      3. Clip 3: community clip! Capture something fun - high fives, milestone certificate, ask participants a vlog style questions for a reel, etc 

         1. This is where you can really show off, show us your creativity and maken your application standout! 

   2. Please let your instructor know at the beginning of class that you are there for an exergy exchange application class

​

1. CREATE 2 DEMO PIECES

   1. One “Instagram Story” with a clip of the class, a title/text of the class type and time, and a CTA (either a reaction sticker, link to book, poll or DM response, etc)

   2. One “TikTok”/Reel that fits with our existing branding. Bonus points for creativity. Include a caption and hashtags. 

   3. NOTE: We will be assessing your filming and editing skills. The videos need to be visually appealing with branding that matches our existing stories/posts/reels. If you are unsure of what to do, watch our social media for a few days or screenshot existing videos for inspiration.
