10 things I wish all clients knew

My blog today is a short one - it's based on something my friends over at LTB (massive group of trainers & coaches) shared and spoke about recently that I thought was well worth elaborating on and sharing with you.

Basically this list is a little insight into some things I (and other trainers/gym owners) think about a lot and would like you to be more aware of! :)

1. Referrals and/or saying something nice about my business means everything to me
2. Funny (especially dad) jokes & friendly banter are expected so bring your A game to sessions
3. 99% of the fitness & health info you are exposed to online is nonsense, unnecessary and/or a waste of time, energy & money!
4. That I want you to succeed A LOT so I am likely to put pressure on you, push you & tell you what you need to hear - even when you might not want to hear it
5. I have days, weeks and sometimes months where I struggle to stay on top of my own fitness & health as I am also human!
6. It might not seem like a big deal if you cancel your sessions at the last minute, but it is disappointing as it means our prep work goes to waste
7. A skipped or no notice cancel of a payment/recurring payment has a direct impact on my ability to provide a service & pay bills
8. Your friend lost weight as he/she was in a calorie deficit - not because it's a magical weight loss solution
9. The LAST thing you should use exercise for is weight loss - there's so much more to exercise & training than that
10. I love your feedback - especially if it means I can make sure to help you more and provide a better service

That's it for today - talk to you soon!

P.S. I mean 10) in a literal sense so don't be afraid to share yours with me :)
