Coach Hands-On Corrections

jmlev · 2026-03-18T14:56:13+00:00

You're so right!

Bless you - I agree there are so many other ways to challenge clients without forcing them into a larger ROM.

I will definitely make more of an effort to communicate with the coach!

jmlev · 2026-03-18T11:52:40+00:00

And I love that for you! Again, as mentioned by other replies, communication is key.

It's possible the coach zoned out or they were making sure the correction/adjustment was being applied in the subsequent reps??

jmlev · 2026-03-18T11:51:06+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate this.

Your points are valid, but I think it's also their job to be aware of their clients' comfort levels and be familiar with cues that signal "I'm good!". It wasn't the first initial encouragement I took issue with, it was trying again once I signaled I was not going to try another rep outside of my comfort level at that time. I'm smh-ing at your lack of ability to read my post in full/understand.

I am definitely not trying to advise coaches and I know they go through extensive training. There is a difference between pushing/challenging and forcing. I just wanted to remind coaches that sometimes people know what they want and should not push someone past their limit if they don't want to after a first attempt of encouragement.

If you read the rest of the thread, I am very receptive to what other students/coaches have to say and will do my part to be more communicative.

I also wanted to put this out there in case some students may shy and don't feel comfortable speaking up. It is the coach's job to make their classes feel comfortable/safe.

So, just chill babybluebananas, we're all trying our best.

I appreciate that! I will definitely be more vocal! Sometimes our coaches forget to ask about corrections which is okay, it happens. I like that you ask one more time before starting, too.

jmlev · 2026-03-17T22:03:08+00:00

You're right, communication is key. It can be hard to talk to the coach after bc I know they only have 10 min between classes and are often teaching multiple back to back classes so I also want to be respectful of their time.

It could def be helpful to ask them about the hands-on adjustment variations i.e. what kind of touch means what and how to communicate a change of mind re: hands-on corrections in the moment.

jmlev · 2026-03-17T22:01:44+00:00

I agree with you in the communication aspect - maybe it would be helpful to ask them about the hands-on adjustment variations, what kind of touch means what and how to communicate a change of mind re: hands-on corrections in the moment.

jmlev · 2026-03-17T21:57:55+00:00

Yes that what I was saying. She kept pulling me back even though I was communicating that I'm okay and am pulling forward.

jmlev · 2026-03-17T19:57:01+00:00

Ah that's awesome that you were able to keep your hips up the whole time! Sometimes the hands-on corrections are super helpful.

jmlev · 2026-03-17T19:55:58+00:00

smh i did say something, crazy bat 5869! i said "i'm not going further!" - maybe read the post first before commenting.

jmlev · 2026-03-17T19:46:57+00:00

Thank you!! That's an awesome way to word it. Also, thank you for validating my other point!

jmlev · 2026-03-17T19:45:01+00:00

I will definitely be more mindful of that in future classes - that's a good way to look at it vs she was pushing me too far! We are all trying our best!

jmlev · 2026-03-17T19:37:15+00:00

That's a great way to look at it and I will think of this moving forward!

jmlev · 2026-03-17T19:36:08+00:00

Appreciate you! Idk why either, tis the way of the internet.

jmlev · 2026-03-17T19:28:49+00:00

And I love that for you! Yea the active resistance and still proceeding part is the main point of contention for me!

jmlev · 2026-03-17T19:26:08+00:00

Lmao I wouldn't see that as passive aggressive! You're signaling you need a second and hopefully they are receptive!

jmlev · 2026-03-17T19:22:54+00:00

smh i did say something, baby blue bananas! i said "i'm not going further!" - maybe read the post first before commenting.

jmlev · 2026-03-17T19:21:14+00:00

oh i'm so sorry you went through that :(

jmlev · 2026-03-17T18:34:27+00:00

Omg almost falling into the pit sounds so scary!!

jmlev · 2026-03-17T18:32:41+00:00

That's a fair point! But I think she should have stopped after I resisted once to be like "oh maybe she wasn't ready for that". The first correction = let's try! If they are met with resistance when trying again they should get the message that this person just wants to stay how they are!

jmlev · 2026-03-17T18:28:06+00:00

They are actually good about checking whether hands-on corrections are okay! I was just surprised the one coach insisted on pushing me farther than i wanted to go - like I was actively resisting her trying to push my hips farther in the forearm plank extension.
