Methods are many, principles are few. Methods change, but principles never do.

This is one of my favorite sayings. It also drives the direction of successful program design – for both your clients, and yourself.

When it comes to program design, it's great to have as many tools in your toolbox as possible. BUT, those tools will only be effective when they’re used with the principles that shaped them in mind.

In this episode, I dive into this concept deeper – discussing program design and some of the principles I use to build body transformation programs. I also give some strength training program examples.

The episode is also the first part of my masterclass on program design and building results-based training programs. Both of which I will do more of—in addition to answering more questions about training programs.

Dive in and extract as much value as you can to build your own training programs for both you, and your clients.

Let's go

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:

1. How working with a wide group of people—from all walks of life and fitness levels—built my skillset of coaching and program designer

2. The program design rules of the road, and the principles that should guide the design of any program
