Luke Johnson - "Hacking" Facebook for Personal Trainers

We've all had difficult clients. The ones who never check in, the ones who check in WAY too much, the ones who seem to think we can deliver the earth and aren't satisfied when we don't.  But does there ever come a point where you can fire a client? That's what we're discussing today, alongside some questions about your clients going to other people for advice and squat/bench/deadlift variations for powerlifters.
