As fitness instructors, its essential that we keep clients on side and not alienate all of them with daft faux pas as I've outlined here
1. Assume they know exactly what the client needs
Its not all 35 years old housewife and mother really wants to slim down and tone up, possess a consultation process that really reaches the bottom of what the client is looking to achieve, you also should be talking 30% of the time and listening another 70% of times, everyone loves to purchase however they hate to be removed to.
2. Shoehorn the client into one of the ways
Simply because you're a super vegan who trains 6 times per week twice a day, that doesn't mean this is suitable for the client. For this reason its called personal training, it must be personalised and also you need to take into consideration their level of fitness level, their current diet, their lifestyle, their career as well as their family life. You will need to have a wholistic view
3. Go on about their own workout
Doing this when unprompted can intimidate some clients, and more probably bore the rest, you're training them and they're paying you, keep the focus on the consumer
4. Continue about the next charity bike ride that they are doing
I was at a business networking event once, paid good money to be there there was another personal trainer there, as i used the company networking event to inquire about leads and referrals, I acquired a number of, the other fitness expert told everyone about his super ride a bike, didn't have any referrals (or sponsors). Keep the concentrate on the things that matter
5. Use the words "never" and "always"
Easy way to back yourself inside a corner is to use the above words, it should always depend on the problem, the clients goal and what resources you need to hand
6. Ridicule other trainers during a workout session
Seriously, possess a bit of professional standard. How can you believe that enables you to look if you're talking down another fitness professional. If you are continually talking down another person, you either desire to be them, they are a menace to you or else you are attracted to them! Maybe not! But you have to take a look at it if you're constantly talking someone down.
7. Ridicule diets and use systems
OK I actually do this to known and choose people but generally it's not sound practice. It is best to believe that all things have a place somewhere for somebody, you could have your opinions, just careful in which you air them
