The world of nutrition coaching is equally as hectic as the world of fitness coaching.

With many nutrition guru’s tabling their way as gospel… evidence based, GMB, genetics, calories, macros, weight neutral, body neutral, intuitive, etc… we can understand the confusion in both how we’re supposed to approach nutrition within our coaching practice, and also the perception and expectations of our clients from the outside coming in.

Most pockets of nutrition listed above are driven heavily by bias and complexity – pushed in relation to a product or system being sold – which is even more confusing for us coaches when trying to gather and understand nutrition coaching tools for use with our clients.

In this pod [which is taken from our most recent webinar] we remove bias, remove emotion, and address nutrition in a balanced manner.

We consider the pro’s, con’s and unknowns of the various approaches in order to upgrade our understanding of for who, at what time and in what setting would each tool be of potential use.

We create a continuum; a sliding scale of lower order to higher order; rather than right or wrong, and we chat through the implementation of these thought processes into your coaching practices and subsequently upgrading the outcome for your clients.

What is the right volume?
What should happen to the volume throughout a progression?
How do I select the volume for my client at any given moment in time?

All questions we're asked regularly.

The answers, as you can imagine, depend upon many factors. Here Mass attempts to sort through them...

Today Mass talks about some of the various influences on fitness over the years, and the perception of it that lead folk today towards short blasts of poorly aligned strength training for their ultimate long term aims.

Mass tables both ends of the spectrum and their differences – Strength Challenges for a Lifetime + Strength training for Sport – along with the difference in intentions and how both play out long term.

Arguably the greatest influence on the outcome for the client is the ability to establish adequate challenge at each step along their progression, as a result of the collaboration in the coach-client relationship.

In today's podcast Mass talks about the potential inputs that feed into these decisions, and how we should facilitate their influence in our coaching practices.

Times are changing, quickly! With this in mind it’d be remiss of us to advise you to bury your head until it all blows over – it won’t.

Whilst fundamental principles and elements of how we coached 10 years ago remain today, and may still do in 10 years time, there are many things that have changed over the last decade, with many more changes afoot in years to come.

In this podcast [which is the audio of our most recent webinar] we reflect on what’s taken place over previous years in order for us to make some educated predictions as to where we might be headed in the future.

We dig into how that has impacted our practice as coaches to date, and what we should be considering and putting in to place now in order to position ourselves to be of most use as coaches, and of course, still be in business.

With AI advancing rapidly, we must get ahead of the curve and be ready to work with tech, as opposed to against it.

It’s already happening – battling it is futile, which means we should be positive in accepting it as a part of life going forwards, including how fitness is implemented and played out.

Ahead of the Live SGPT seminar tomorrow in Brighton, Mass shares his thoughts around PD for small group – ideals, benchmarks and ideas for progression towards them for your gym and coaching team.

Jenzo was back in the room for a chat with Mass on this one.

Together they reflected on...the history of the PFCA, our definition of success, impact, the system of education we've created to date, and last weekend's FFC 2.

Too often today young coaches leave our industry prematurely because they're lost and disillusioned.

On this episode Mass tables 2 main reasons as to why this is the case, and what the coach can do to help navigate themselves back on track.
