How much programming is too much programming? In this episode, Claire and Maggie unpack their evolving approaches to personal training programming, from overcomplicated plans and periodisation spreadsheets to flexible, client-centred frameworks that actually work in the real world. They explore the balance between structure and adaptability, why general population clients need a different approach from athletes, and how focusing on core movement patterns can simplify decision-making while still delivering great results. Plus, they share practical tips for session planning, tracking progress, and creating programmes that fit clients' goals, preferences, and busy lives.
