What is your thought process when writing someone a program?

When I write a program I can visualize that specific client go through it and make predictions on how they will do it and what they will struggle with.

To me, a lot of my programming choices are driven by experience and intuition. When that is a huge part of my decision making, how can I write a programming protocol that can be recreated?

Recreated by someone who doesn’t have my reps.

Thanks to Levi, I’ve been pushed to think this way and I’ve started to systematize my thought process.

This video shows my first time thinking out loud on my decision making and it completely automatic as this point.

After this call I created an on-boarding protocol that helps collect information (objective as possible with measurements) that would address the concepts talked about in the zoom call. As I go through more consults, I’ll start implementing and working out the kinks.

It’s in the works.

Thanks to Levi it will eventually get there. If you don’t follow Levi, you should. Literally all my future of content, workshop, certification???, you can assume Levi had a major influence.

The skillset he has on the ability to educate others is exactly what this industry needs. Because it’s failing a lot of people.

The fact that we all take the same courses but a small percentage are actually successful with the things we learn, is a huge problem! It’s a teachers problem. Well, unless you’re one of those who text the whole time. In that case, that’s 100% your fault. Stop being that person.

A lot of fitness professionals didn’t learn the necessary skills that are required to be a good teacher ( like ME!). When they’r good at what they do, they end up showing/presenting to fitness professionals WHAT they do. However, they can’t seem to get people to learn it in a way they would get to the same/similar conclusion/decisions on their own. THAT is real education.

So for now, enjoy the video on programing. More will come later on how we can change the way we educate personal trainers 🙂

I sat down to write our Client of the Month’s description which should be about a paragraph long, but it ended up being TWO PAGES long.

What I wrote about this client mirrors how we feel towards all of our clients. Especially during our recent transitions and future plans for Enhancing Life and Holistic Fitness Connector (changing my name soon BTW. I just have to get my shit together).

I wanted to share what I wrote because as a consumer of my blog, you should also be thankful for my clients because HFC would not be possible without their support <3

Owning your own business pushes you to learn about marketing. Marketing tactics across multiple industries put a huge emphasis on finding your “target market” and learning how to speak to them. 

Target Market could be described as your “Ideal client”. If you were to wave a magic wand, what kind of client would you want at your business?

At Enhancing Life, we came up with ours and embraced the idea that not everyone would be onboard with our unconventional way of thinking. Especially since not all gyms promote the same message. 

Learning about our “ideal client” is probably one of the best things we ever did. 

It’s an amazing feeling going into work being surrounded by our target market. It seems the people who join our community, were made for us, just as much as Enhancing Life was made for them. 

That’s how we felt when Jocelyn joined Enhancing Life earlier this year. She is October’s Client of the Month! 

Our appreciation towards her mirrors how we feel towards our diverse gym community. 

The change in the fitness industry we’re pushing for is not easy. We push for the unsexy, hard to sale, slow, messy, filled with setbacks and uncertainties, sustainable approach to health. 

WOOOO uncertainties, set-backs, meditation, and vegetables! – Said no one ever
