Today we get back to basics! These are three simple things you can do on your next consultation to increase the odds of your prospect becoming a client. The best part is that they require no skills or studying. Just simply be mindful of them and they will begin to work.

Today I go over some of the most important parts of your personal training contract. Remember to use the resources available to you through your personal training certification and other platforms that can help you and guide you though the process. I can only share with you my experiences and options.

How do you know what your client is feeling? How do you know if it isn't hurting gin a bad way? Or if your exercise selection is bringing back bad memories?

The only way to know is to watch, ask, confirm and adjust what you are doing during every session.

Today I go over some of the things I a worried about as I watch someone exercise.

Today was about the five things I had to give up in order to help my personal training career move forward.

Today I talk about the day I asked my manager how he had become the manager of our gym. At the time it seemed like an obvious question. Now when I look back I see the power it had in shaping what my life and career has become.

Having a big and strong following on media platforms is absolutely valuable in any business setting. But just because you do not have one it doesn't mean you cannot be successful. Today I just rant and ramble about social media.

Today I got to hang our with my team member Norberto. We got into an interesting discussion about what a good vs a great personal trainer is. We had thoughts and opinions and overall just a fun time. I hope you enjoy hanging out with us for a bit on today's podcast too.

One of them being the reality of building a client base from zero. Today's episode covers the reality of being anew coach, the time it takes to build a career and the unfortunate lessons we all must learn along the way.

If you are a new personal trainer I encourage you to listen to today's podcast and decide to commit to being a successful personal trainer.

You keep explaining the exercise, but the client doesn't quite get it. Every trainer at some point in their career will run into this situation. What should you say now? Do you just do something else?

Today we cover three important ways of communicating what you want them to do. Consider the training tips we cover today and analyze how well you are executing them, if at all!

Tell me if this has happened to you. You are in the middle of you training session, just getting into the flow of it. You look up and notice the time. The session should be over by now!

Why does this happen? Should it be happening? What do you do? Do you just give them extra time?
