6 Ways To Instill Success In Your Client's Training Programs -- Tony Gentilcore

 

Client success depends partly on the client -- how consistent she is, how focused his movements are, how compliant her nutrition habits are. Your client can obviously create greater success for himself simply by ensuring that his end of the personal training relationship is in line with his goals.

But what about your end of that relationship? Is your client's success included in your programming and session planning? Or are you relying entirely on exercise selection and periodization to provide the impetus your client needs to reach her goals? This week, Tony Gentilcore considers 6 things you can do -- beyond the basics of programming -- to create the right environment for your clients to thrive.
