Managing Clients Fixated on Scale-Only Success
Welcome to this weeks episode. Based on my experience, I'm here to guide personal trainers on shifting clients away from relying solely on the scale for success. Tune in to learn how to embrace new approaches, leading clients toward a more balanced and fulfilling fitness journey. Let's dive in!
How To Prevent Losing 1-1 Clients
Weโve all faced moments when clients shy away from discussing personal hurdles like impromptu food binges or skipped workouts. Our pursuit to comprehend these patterns, to uncover the โwhy,โ can inadvertently lead to pushback and a potential loss of trust. I recall my early days as a personal trainer, grappling with this very challenge.
Some clients drifted away, seeking the next coach in line. But hereโs the key: to retain and nurture clients, we must decode their experiences, identify red flags, and sidestep the pitfalls of pressing for answers.
In this podcast, tailored for fellow personal trainers, weโll explore actionable strategies to cultivate a deeper understanding of our clientsโ journeys, fostering lasting connections and ensuring they thrive. Join me as we unravel the art of empathetic client management and unlock the pathway to long-term success.
Helping PT Clients Who Dont Prioritise Themselves
โฃ I used to believe busy clients with no self-prioritisation were โlazyโ. I believed they just โlacked focusโ and that we all have โthe same 24 hoursโ in the day.
It wasn't until I shifted to understand their busy minds and people-pleasing tendencies that I achieved amazing client results (and longer-term sign-ups.)
โฃ
Ever hear your clients saying things like "๐ ๐๐๐ง๐๐ก๐ฎ ๐๐ค๐ฉ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐จ๐๐ฉ ๐๐ค๐ฌ๐ฃ ๐ฎ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐๐๐ฎ, ๐จ๐ค ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ก๐ช๐ฃ๐๐!"
or "I had to help a neighbor after work, so I skipped my exercise"? โฃ
โฃ
These are signs that they might be putting everyone else before themselves. It can seriously impact their results. โฃ
โฃ
Imagine this: clients juggling tasks left and right, yet forgetting to care for themselves. ๐ซข
They hire you with a genuine desire for change, yet sometimes struggle to follow through.
Ever experienced that? I sure have.
Their lives may seem like a jigsaw puzzle, with pieces everywhere. ๐งฉ
Finding time for self-care feels like a treasure hunt for them.
They're busy people pleasing and helping everyone except themselves. Family, neighbours, colleagues etc
โฃ
๐จ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ'๐ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ฑ๐ผ: Avoid just telling them to prioritize themselves more or fixating on schedules.
Avoid telling them โwe all have the same 24 hours in the day.
The real game-changer is UNDERSTANDING their busy-brain dynamics. ๐ง ๐
It's like peeling back layers to reveal their unique puzzle.โฃ
โฃ
As a personal trainers, you have the power to guide them through this journey.
โ๏ธShow them different perspectives, assure them they're not alone, and encourage small steps like simple meal prep or short walks.โฃ
โฃ
p.s do you have these types of clients?I hope this podcast helps.

#5 Things To Include in Your Program Pitch So It SELLS!
So I know you are probably aย Fitpro,ย with a lot to offer your people.ย
But maybe you just dont know how toย communicateย and package up theย valueย in what you to offer, so you are not pitching your fitness/health/wellness program.ย
In this episode I talk about #5 Things To Include in Your Program Pitch So It SELLS!
1. Before you pitch, employ the mindset that what you have to offer is needed, people will buy it. You are helping people by offering your services.
2. Let people know who its for and not for, be clear..e.g is it for women only or men or both?
Is it for people who want quick fixes or a longer thing?
3. Highlight the results they can expect. Let them know what other clients results have been or list how they will feel from the program eg more confidence, ย energy, less stress.
4. What is it costing them not to solve this problem? (not monetary) let them know what will most likely happen if they keep putting off taking care of their health e.g more weight gain, cholesterol high etc
5. State clearly how they can sign up and what the deadline is. Is it a link, a dm, comment box? guide them so it is clear exactly how they sign up and pay.ย
Stop waiting for the perfect time to pitch your offer, get it out there and know it will sell!!!
