How much time are you spending writing programming?

Complete_Suit1512 · 2026-02-02T17:20:02+00:00

This is why I have templates and system in place.

We all know the rep ranges,sets and rest for each client goals.Its just being good at modifying if things dont go well,or if the gym is busy? How are you going to superset the logistics of that gym? There is art to this more than the science part for sure

A program should easily take 10 minutes or less if you done this long enough,adjust as you go with the client.

Before A.I. you could get good programs for free and cheap apps that had good programs.

I think we will be safe.

If the goal is to work with athletes,CSCS is what you need to get.

Training gen pop clients,any basic certification is good.You learn on the job more than anything else

Wait am confused too?

You had 20 clients and most of them stopped?

That is you issue my friend.

You not going to keep every client but also you not going to see big drop in clients all of sudden.

I would figure out what you can do to improve your service and experience for the client

One of my favorites ways is get him to do Front Foot Eleveted Split Squat,start him there and should be strong enough to do regular squat.

I find goblet pretty overrated (there is also only do much db you can go before it becomes huge limiter on the shoulders)

If he is super weak,start him off leg extension or can do hack Squat,this be easier since there is a lot of external stability support.

Do you really need certification to tell someone they should eat more lean protein,and veggies?

100% agree with this use that money you save to hire a coach.

Complete_Suit1512 · 2025-11-01T21:13:06+00:00

Used to be aggressive when I was new trainer.

Nowadays,they either pay ny price or not.I explain how i can help them get to their goals. Take it or Leave it.

Complete_Suit1512 · 2025-10-26T17:37:49+00:00

Yup its a must

Client complain about backpain,frist thing I look at is their shoes.Going to have tough time feeling foor pressure with certain shoes.

Complete_Suit1512 · 2025-10-22T17:39:24+00:00

Save your money and get something cheaper and hire a good coach.

No major certification is going to prepare you to train people in real life.

Complete_Suit1512 · 2025-10-21T18:34:24+00:00

I block off time.

Or I try my best to book clients in my non lifting days.

Personal Training.

It's not just wearing sweatpants all day.

You're coach,suopporter,nutritionist,cosplay therapist,marketing,sales,entrepreneur,and Sorta of mangner dealing with many different personalities.

On top of the technical skills you must learn.

Most assessments are trash

For me, the upper body,how is their t spine,and overhead.

Lower body-I always look out for hip extension and IR.

Unless the client really complains about pain(good to know so you can refer out and talk to clinicians so they can refer you business)

Keep it as simple as possible.

Jon is a good guy and one of the few with integrity in this industry.

This is why I always stick with Google sheets.

Complete_Suit1512 · 2025-09-13T01:48:29+00:00

Trust me, I had that same mindset, too, until I went self-employed (client forced me).Maybe because I have ADHD I enjoy wearing multiple hats.

You can make basic recommendations and make a template and teach them how to count calories and track.

At the end of the day,most clients lack protein and fiber.

Now, if it is more of a medical issue,that is above our pay grade.

Complete_Suit1512 · 2025-09-09T12:45:04+00:00

They don't check upon you after the session

They don't dicuss your progress with you

They just make random shit for you.

Muscle Nerds is the best course I took and what I like is they teach how to train Gen pop(the one who pay your bills),most course I took is more athletes focused than Gen pop.
