God has a plan, I just try my best to follow.
As I get better and better in this profession more people get lost. I lost 1 client last week, and the other is starting back the first of the year. I charge the least and I work with them the most. Let this be a model for future training. Great! Now, I need to do more and be better in action.
1. Compound movements over everything.
2. Progressive Overload. Add weight to a bar and Dumbbell each week no matter the goal. Add reps to bodyweight training then add harder exercises as they progress.
3. Dial in on nutrition using myfitnesspal as a requirement.
4. Add in accessory movements after compounds.
5. Explain that you can use progressive overload. You don't truly need me in the beginning. Progress with a bar or dumbbell in the beginning. Once you start to plateau, or you see some lagging parts/movements you will need me then.
6. Carry a journal with that clients name, workout log, and notes. No phone and texting. Workout outlined and simple. Add as progresses.
7. Live it, then teach it. Make a program and follow it through and through modifying as needed.
Losing people is a part of the training business. Don't take on clients unless you can carry them for life and work them to max knowing they expect solid, consistent, lasting growth just in case we have to separate. I overworked myself. I only need 2, maximum 3 clients at a time.
