Are We here to Entertain our Clients?

Comrades,

I was reading David Whitely's Blog today, Senior RKC Instructor. He wrote about strengthening your weakest link. Everyone of us has one. Do we know where it is, some of us do but, some of us don't. It is our job as fitness professionals to identify our clients weakest link and help them repair what is needed to make them strong and healthy. Yes, there are those of us who put our clients through very demanding trainings, and there are those of us who feel the need to entertain them as we do it.

After reading his article, I started to think that as a trainer, I need to be first and foremost concerned about that weak link that my clients have and how can I fix it. I know some of us realize we have an imbalance but, we don't want to take the time to fix it. We would rather go for a run or lift weights.

I urge you to really think about your training and where it is going. Think about the goals you have and share them with your trainer. Hold them accountable for your progress. Ask them to identify your weakest link.

I am on a mission to identify my clients imbalances and to fix them the best way I know how,(FMS). A lot of these issues can be fixed in a short period of time. It just takes effort on the part of the client to do their homework and as a trainer to hold them accountable.
