Pelvicpreneur Podcast

When it comes to seeing 1:1 clients virtually and/or teaching classes online, it can be really draining on your energy, can't it? If you've ever felt the need to decompress or literally lie down in a darkened room after a Zoom call, please know that you're not alone. Teaching anything online (regardless of the subject matter) requires a different skills set to seeing clients in-person. When it comes to teaching exercise online though - well, there's dead air time to fill in between reps, the constant movement you have to do back and forth between demonstrating an exercise and checking your screen to make sure your participants' technique is ok, and we can't NOT mention the constant lag or delay that happens every single time you're trying to have a conversation! In this week's episode of the Pelvicpreneur Podcast, Claire is here to share her experience of protecting her own physical and mental energy when showing up live; what Zoom calls she's tweaked so her clients get the best out of her every single time; and a whole host of useful tips on how you too can do the same. Pop your earbuds in now and enjoy!

Most FitPros use some form of content marketing to attract clients into their business. And, if you've been doing what you do for a number of years now, you've probably produced and published LOTS of content, right? But, have you ever wondered about whether something you posted on Facebook or Instagram 5 years ago should still be there on public view? Have you ever considered the implications of a prospective client finding a blog post that you wrote over a decade ago that's now full of misinformation because your industry has moved on, new research has been published, and/or you've updated your qualifications since then? In this anecdotal style episode, Claire is here to give you a timeline tour of all of the social media platforms and content marketing strategies she's used since 2005, as well as what content she's removed from public view and why she's done so. After listening in to this episode, you'll learn exactly what the best practices are for you to follow if you have old content still swimming around. Pop your headphones on, talk a walk, and tune in now!

There are times as a FitPro, when we struggle to motivate ourselves to do those all-important tasks that will drive our business forwards. Teaching and interacting with clients daily means you often have a constant smile on your face, and that's an energy drain in itself, isn't it? If you've ever felt like taking a nanna nap during the day because you just can't bring yourself to face your To Do List for the afternoon, please know that that's ok, and oftentimes feeling this way happens for a deeper reason. In this week's thought-provoking episode, hear Claire explain WHY we sometimes experience a dip in motivation, and discover the 4 actionable questions to ask yourself to be aware of the signs in the future. Episode 120 may be one of these episodes that you listen to once now to get yourself fired up to take action, but it may also be worth adding this segment to your "downloads" in your podcast app, to return to at a later date when you really need that motivational voice in your ear. Pop your headphones on, grab a pen and paper, and tune in now!

When it comes to advising clients with prolapse about the do's and don’ts of exercise, for the FitPro, it can sometimes feel a bit awkward, can't it?

FACT: No one in business ever enjoys raising their prices, and adding even £1 to your clients' course fees/monthly payments can feel like the most agonising experience ever. Aside from more money, there are many benefits to increasing your rates and Claire is here on hand this week to highlight them all to you. If you haven't put your prices up for 5+ years, this is a must-listen episode, because effectively you've given yourself a nice pay cut there for half a decade. Did you realise that? Costs go up in your business, not down, and whilst it's common to assume that clients are only paying for an hour class, or an hour Personal Training session with you, all of the work you do behind-the-scenes needs to be factored in too. Ready to tune in to have your eyes and ears open to ALL of the benefits to raising your rates? Pop your ear buds in now and enjoy!
