The Top Article of the Week
Are you a trainer, or a coach? The exactly terminology may not seem like it matters, however it's what these terms represent that does. Coaches coach their clients; they understand and consider that they're human, and therefore experience emotions and live busy lives of which fitness may not be the number one priority (like it is to many of us).
This week's top pick courtesy of Gregg Slater of Shredded By Science, is an absolute must-read for fit pros, giving a detailed overview of how you can empower your clients in order to give them the best possible chance of achieving success (and you getting kick-ass testimonials).
Gone (I hope), are the days of the militant PT who drives their clients into the ground in a bath of blood, sweat and tears. It's time we, as an industry, make the general public's lives better, not worse. To get them stronger, healthier, moving better, and most importantly enjoying the process.
