In order to be a better example and someone you can take notes from, I have decided to make this podcast a weekly affair Having launched a podcast for my gym focussed on having great conversations with local people of interest, I am going to show you how we intend on using the power of  podcast as a local marketing toolSo very soon we will rebrand to 'Personal Trainer Weekly' and I will be hosting some of my favourite people in fitness to have more conversations that you will love 

I get this question from time to time so I thought it'd be a useful one to talk about with you here In this episode I talk about Getting started and figuring it out as you go Why the market is noisy, but isn't oversaturatedWhy getting good at marketing protects your longer term interestsFor information on the resources I mention, head to liftthebar.com or ping me an email 

When clients leave it can sting When people take advantage of your goodwill, time and kindness it can hurt badly But there are clear things you can do in order to protect yourself from being hurt - and that comes from managing expectations in ways I suggest in this podcast If you like it, please do share it with the world on your IG! Burge

Getting ghosted when you mention price can be soul destroying but in this short podcast I will help you with some tools and processes to improve your chances of getting the sign up!If you like the idea of having me and my team helping in your PT career, please consider trying out LTB on our 2 week free trial! 

The world is a big ol' mess at the moment and plenty of clients are feeling low, feeling flat and it's leading to a lower show-up rate for many trainersSo in this episode I am going to tell you how I am navigating this tricky period Let me know how you get on with this advice over at [email protected]

At some stage we all give out advice that we think makes sense, and in fact we desperately hope makes sense - when it's actually disempowering to the client because of language and assumptions In this episode I talk about my stance on Back Pain, FMS, and changing views in order to create a better service If you want to watch the Webinar I reference in this podcast then please get in touch [email protected]

I wish I didn't make so many mistakes and believe so much quackery back when I started, but the one thing that has seen me make it this far is the intention to do things right and a willingness to change course when neededLets talks about the ability to backtrack! 

Clients not following your advice out of the gym but still turning up to sessions? Whilst it can be worrying, annoying or a happy little mix of the 2 - reframing things a little can really help you In this episode I talk about how to have a better initial conversation that can be referenced again if the client stops doing what they said they would If you enjoy this podcast, please ping me an email - I am needy like that aint [email protected]

Success is so subjective in Personal Training and in this episode I probe you with some questions about what you really want your job to look like Success is a process and needs constant checking in on If this episode resonates with you, ping me an email - I would love to hear from [email protected]
