I recently contributed to a piece published on BecomeaPersonalTrainer.org called “40 Personal Trainers Reveal How to Manage Client Expectations.”
The article contains a wealth of insight from many trainers, obviously, and is a great read for both clients and trainers alike.
As a personal trainer, managing client expectations is key to setting them up for happiness and success.
You can read the whole article here. Spoiler alert! My advice is to encourage people to understand that the way to make a long-standing change, which is what people are truly seeking, is to make permanent changes rather than seeking a quick fix.
You’ll Be Proud With Progress
You might have a goal to gain 40 pounds of strength on your bench press, or to lose 30 pounds of fat. Both of these will require consistent work over a period of time, and you’ll be so proud and happy once you get there!
Remember though, that you’ll be proud of yourself along the way. When you’ve worked hard and earned a 30 pound increase on your bench press, you’ll be happy! When you’re exercises and make good food choices, you’ll feel great when you’ve lost 10 pounds, and are on your way to losing 30.
The bottom line that I want you to remember is that this is a process that requires consistency. You can do it!! You’ll be happy along the way!
Happiness, peace and personal pride are not reserved only for the end of the journey!
