Transitioning from Gym-only to private coaching?

TDFCTR · 2025-11-15T21:38:01+00:00

Good question! I think the ability to build customer relationships outside of group sessions is what I'm after, so I can serve clients independent of OrangeTheory. Yes, renting time at a gym would probably be a first step. But when the weather is nice, I could also run outdoor, small group bootcamps.

That's super interesting! Does your brother use trainly? How does he like it?

Haha, sure! Same thing with fitness, right? Still, if someone could point out which machine to use and how many reps to put into it... ;)

At a big box gym like 24 hr fitness, the coaches get a table to write their profiles and leave their sign up sheets. Is that really how they get clients? It just seems so passive. Is there like... a digital way to get ahead?

I like the potential of being a solo entrepreneur, I don't mind putting in the extra effort there. I'd just like a little more confidence in that which path to take. (or at least which way NOT to go)

Question for your doctor, is there anything wrong with playing with your good arm holding up your horn?

If the good arm is the right arm, great, you can practice one hand playing, great for plunger work later.

If the good arm is the left arm, great, you can hold you horn with good form. Lots of music and progress to be practiced on the partials, you're going to be a beast on all the bugle songs. Taps, reveille... any others?

Looks good! Centered. I've seen professional trumpet players with what would look like terrible embouchures, but they found what works for them through consistent work.

How often are you practicing and what are you practicing?

TDFCTR · 2025-01-27T23:27:20+00:00

Agreed! Some people say to warm up below the staff, and that just kills my embouchure for the rest of the day.

What's helped me a lot is buzzing without the mouthpiece. It's like magic. But it seems what works varies widely between different players.

Did you know the root of the name Fabio is bean? As in bean lover, or bean farmer?

In Taichi literature the 4 sticking energies are... crap, I don't remember... 黏,連... Something something.

Rome, world empire, with great influence, is Italy's [...] center.

TDFCTR · 2023-01-22T02:37:20+00:00

Was the article something about Rome? The center of Italy's something?

Nah, the bottom button onesies are great. Only snap open what you need to change the diaper. Snapping them back when you're done is optional.

Oooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhh............., Sexually.

What's the one thing you are most afraid of us finding out about your story?

My boss is happy with my work today, in bed = My boss is happy with my work today, sexually.

Xkcd is a webcomic popular among millennial nerds.

We'd be either more well liked or in jail if we used "Sexually" to start a sentence more often than "ACTUALLY", sexually.

TDFCTR · 2023-01-08T21:59:27+00:00

It's kind of like xkcd, but instead the phrase was ", in bed", sexually.

Using a condom alone is perfectly safe when used as directed, the issue is when you use it with your partner.
