Coaching Is More Than Just Programming -- David Allen, Elite FTS

David and Jen. Two trainers at one gym.

Jen was an undeniable fitness expert. Not only was she respected amongst other fit pros in her town, she had national recognition from her bodybuilding career. Jen was a star. Why then, did she struggle to sign enough personal training clients to pay her own rent?

David, on the other hand, was in such high demand that he had a full waiting list of clients eager to sign with him. David was much less of an"expert". His fitness knowledge was nowhere near Jen's, and he certainly hadn't won any bodybuilding competitions. So why was his personal training business booming?

David knew the secret -- and he wrote about it the top fitness article of the week.
