Why Most Personal Training Fails…

Most personal training fails …

But it’s NOT because of the client!⁠

Here’s how almost all personal training programs work: ⁠

-the PT asks the client what their goal is, ⁠
-the answer is almost always about weight loss, ⁠
-the PT creates an exercise program that can’t possibly achieve the goal because that’s literally not how weight loss works, ⁠
-the client doesn’t see the results they want, ⁠
-gets discouraged, and ⁠
-stops going.⁠


No, the problem isn’t with the client.⁠

The problem isn’t that the client lacks discipline, or responsibility, or desire.⁠

The problem is that everyone involved is using the wrong tools to get to the wrong goal.⁠

Despite it being the PT’s actual profession, they are erroneously taught that their work will help people lose weight. (That is almost certainly incorrect in almost every circumstance.)⁠

But if the PT can’t help a client lose weight, why go to a PT?!⁠

For so many amazing, life-affirming, health-promoting, and fun reasons!!!⁠

Your body is how you experience the world! What better reason could there be?!⁠
