As fitness instructors, its essential that we keep clients on side and never alienate all of them with daft faux pas as I've outlined here
1. Assume they know what the client needs
Not every 35 years old housewife and mother wants to lose weight and tone up, have a consultation procedure that really gets to the foot of what the client looks to attain, also you ought to be talking 30% of times and listening another 70% of the time, people love to buy however they hate to be removed to.
2. Shoehorn the client into one way
Just because you are a super vegan who trains 6 times a week twice daily, it doesn't mean this is right for the client. This is why its called fitness, it needs to be personalised and also you need to take into account their current fitness level, their current diet, their lifestyle, their career as well as their family life. You will need to have a wholistic view
3. Continue about their own workout
Carrying this out when unprompted can intimidate some clients, and much more probably bore the rest, you're training them and they are paying you, keep your concentrate on the consumer
4. Go on concerning the next charity ride a bike that they are doing
I had been 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 ask for leads and referrals, I acquired quite a few, another fitness expert told everyone about his super ride a bike, didn't have any referrals (or sponsors). Keep your focus on the stuff that matter
5. Make use of the words "never" and "always"
Easy way to back yourself inside a corner is to use the above mentioned words, it should always rely on the situation, the clients goal and just what resources you need to hand
6. Ridicule other trainers in the gym
Come on, possess a little bit of professional standard. How do you think that makes you look if you are talking down another fitness professional. If you are continually talking down someone else, you can either want to be them, they are a menace to you or you are attracted to them! Not! However, you need to take a glance at it if you're constantly talking someone down.
7. Ridicule diets and exercise systems
OK I do this to known and choose people but generally it isn't sound practice. It is best to believe that everything has a place somewhere for somebody, you could have your thinking, just careful where you air them
