The Best Coach Ever Podcast

How to Deal With Unmotivated Clients (or Clients Who Ghost)


Listen Later

Wondering what to do when your clients aren’t showing up + doing the work – or if they ARE showing up, they’re only giving about 50% (and, as a result, they’re not getting the results they’d hoped for)? Welcome to showbiz, baby! This episode is for you.


Today, I’m sharing how I handled unmotivated or ghosting clients when I was a fitness coach and providing insight into how you can approach *your* clients who are either falling off the wagon or have completely checked out.


You’ll get my best advice for reconnecting with clients in a kind, nonjudgmental way and supporting them by meeting them where they are – not where you want them to be (hint: trying to force someone into compliance is NOT the vibe).


In this episode, I cover:


Why having unmotivated clients (or clients who ghost) is FAR from uncommon in the coaching world [4:45]


My experience with coaches – which has included periods of low motivation – and why it’s never been their fault [6:00]


How the summertime can impact clients’ motivation and behavior [9:25]


Not taking client behavior personally [11:30]


Understanding that your job as a coach is actually NOT to “make” your clients do anything [13:05]


Where to start when you notice a client is falling off their plan [14:40]


How I handled late/missing client check-ins when I was a fitness coach [16:05]


My approach when it’s clear a client isn’t feeling motivated [17:20]


Shifting the goal from results to remotivation – helping clients regain confidence and feel like winners again [20:30]


What to do as a coach when a client is completely checked out and refusing to engage with you/the program [23:20]


The truth that no matter how great of a coach you are, you WILL have clients who ghost or lose motivation [27:35]
