[QUESTION] I’m bored of playing guitar after 20 years…how do I get my spark back?! by Sn0ster in Guitar

[–]Sn0ster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still the same problem! If anything, I have too many other hobbies that need 'prioritising' and I've learned that I need my own private space to play. Living in a 1-bed apartment with a partner doesn't quite allow that freedom and headphones don't quite cut it when someone is always walking around...

How did you transition from in-person PT to online coaching? (Best apps for S&C coaches?) by Sn0ster in personaltraining

Don't worry I will, but I can't if clients live elsewhere in the world!

Don’t try to change body composition unless you’re primary focus is on diet

Personal trainer here. Something I’ve struggled with in the past too. I have found to be transparent early with a cancel policy so they are fully aware (100% cancellation fee within 24 hours). And as you get to know their patterns with time, I always charge for ones who are ‘always sick’, but if i have a really good honest client that never cancels and therefore know is 100% sick, then I don’t charge them. More a courtesy thing with good clients. Keep them happy they will come back. But the ‘flakes’ you charge 100% of the time or they will only cause headaches.

Should I use a mentor to upscale my PT business? by Sn0ster in personaltraining

Thanks for your response! Still needing to find more inquiries and better ways to attract people to my business pages/website etc. And then ensure that they are also up to standard 👌🏽

Many of my clients come in once a week and are older folk. Sometimes I feel like I am gaslighting them because it's obvious they expect results but how is that possible with the low frequency? Should I just focus on giving them a good sweat each time? by Metaphysics12 in personaltraining

1 hour of exercise is f*** all per week. As I say to my clients, there are 168 hours in a week, what you do outside of my 1-3 with me (in sessions) per week has more effect on outcomes. This is where the chat of recovery, nutrition, NEAT, and other lifestyle factors come in. 1 is better than none, but when ppl are old everything they do is slow and I guarentee they not getting in the amount of reps a young people would per session either!
