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.

The journey of a personal trainer can be a long one. We prepare for the reps and the sets. But there are many things we are not ready for. 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?

Today we get into why just giving clients more time might have unintended consequences and what you should do about it.

Today I got to sit down with Norberto to talk about his start as a personal trainer. We discussed some of the lessons learned so far and what is still to come in his fitness career.

We all know that feeling. Those last few sessions are winding down and we aren't sure if this client is going to keep training with us. Should you say something? Say nothing?

Today I go over three things I have made sure to do with my team and my clients in order to increase the odds of keeping our clients renewing long term and taking some of the anxiety out of the process.

Is passing out flyers outdated? Do they even work? Today I got into some of my experiences passing out marketing materials and what I have learned about doing it. Like all things there are wrong ways and more productive ways. On today's episode I give you my perspective and ideas around doing things the old school way.

What are the puzzle pieces you may be missing? What may you not know, that if you did, would begin to change everything? Let's talk about it.
