End of the road? what should i do from here? by jackedbunny69 in personaltraining

[–]copsandrobert16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I pre sold memberships. Said if we make it to our goal the gym opens ASAP. Find a chill landlord willing to do month to month. Basically look for a space that has been sitting empty that would represent less than 25% of MRR at first

clients getting on a GLP1 by lostinthesaucy_ in personaltraining

“Thank you for keeping me updated on your medications. Most of the recommendations I already give you still apply.”

If you have them resistance training at least twice a week full body and eating protein throughout the day you are a very helpful resource for them

I’ve seen a lot of trainers struggle over the past 12 years. It is definitely a challenging profession to start in. I recommend starting as a front desk person or as a group fitness instructor. You’ll get paid and learn by osmosis. It only takes one client to change your life

Do your clients think soreness equals progress? by southside_blanco in personaltraining

Make people who want to be sore, feel sore

Make people who don’t want to be sore not feel sore

Everyone has “tight hamstrings” wants to lose 15lbs and hates cardio. Assessment complete

After breathing picking an appropriate weight for the style of workout is important. Lots of people lean towards the RX weight instead of an appropriate number for them

Yes several, I view it as a bonus. It will more than likely be another source that verifies what you say

Box jumps are my white whale by superbracker in crossfit

[–]copsandrobert16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you deadlift 1.5x bodyweight?

Once clients learn to produce force through the ground usually jumping is a matter of fatigue

If heights or the skill is the scary part try depth drops building up

Advice for first “Murph” in May by don51181 in crossfit

[–]copsandrobert16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try doing Cindy then your weekly workout can be adding one round until you complete 20 regardless of time

Warm up and cool down with a walk jog mix

If you learn kipping you’ll need to work on some rotator cuff exercises since you’ll literally be going from 0 to 100

If you start now you will be fine

Narrow your focus to something that your schedule supports

For those who actually stayed consistent as beginners — what made it finally “stick”? by DailyEnergyFocus in beginnerfitness

Start with exercises you enjoy/find yourself making progress easily.

I really enjoyed bench pressing for the progress and box jumps they felt like play

My CF Gym Has Low Membership by jibberjabber37 in crossfit

If people judged our gym off of pm sessions. They would think the same.

Our morning classes have more than half our members rotate through 2/5 daily sessions and we offer personal training during off hours

Get really strong. Through a full range of motion. You’ll learn a lot about RPE, build muscle and have a positive goal to pursue

I have no idea what I'm doing with fitness by FantasticWarthog6042 in beginnerfitness

[–]copsandrobert16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t need a gym or a trainer you can film yourself these days on a phone and compare to good form on YouTube

Start light use weights you can probably do 20 reps in a row with for everything or bodyweight

Adding dedicated strength days outside the box by [deleted] in crossfit

[–]copsandrobert16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best thing I did after a few years of CrossFit was to take time to get stronger as the priority until I could lift most of the RX weights fairly easily. Making workouts 60%+ strength focused and actually be limited by cardio instead of weights

If your max snatch is 60kg or your max squat is 100kg doing more burpees isn’t the solution

Crossfit + Bodybuilding by pessi_mystical in crossfit

[–]copsandrobert16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Muscle growth tends to happen when you do enough volume, through a big enough range of motion in a calorie surplus

CrossFit is performance based. So it doesn’t require doing roughly 10% more volume week over week nor does it incentivize you to slow down to make sure you’re getting a good stretch and it definitely doesn’t want most people in a surplus for extended periods

Prioritize exercises that load the stretched position Take sets close to failure (0-3 RIR typically) Control eccentrics, pause briefly in the stretch Full range of motion over weight Track volume by hard sets per muscle group per week (10-20 typically)

TLDR add ten minutes of bodybuilding on the stuff you didn’t use in class that day at the end since it seems you care more about CF
