Here is why the client fired me
A client once fired me because she found the initial session too slow for her taste, and she didn’t believe she could lose weight fast that way 🙄
The truth was she needed those initial mobility-focused sessions more than most of my clients‼️
The effectiveness of your training session is not about how sweaty you get. Just because you are getting sweaty doesn’t mean you are getting a good workout.
⛔️If your goal of hiring a personal trainer is ONLY to get you sweaty, I’d suggest you save that money. Don’t pay a personal trainer when you can go on YouTube and find yourself thousands of free HIIT workouts that’ll do the trick.
✅A good personal trainer will push you AND prevent you from injuries. It’s their job to show you what your body is capable of, and help it become more functional in the process. Plus, they’ll catch that thing you’re doing that will lead to injury…something a YouTube video can’t.
🔔Before getting your lululemon sweaty, work on spine alignment, address any tightness and weakness, explore the root of any pain, and learn to activate the right muscles to make sure you’re benefiting from exercise. And you may need a few sessions to learn how to breathe correctly. And when you’ve got the foundation mastered, then it’s about time to add more resistance and intensity.
Starting slow doesn’t mean you won’t get results; it means you build a strong foundation that helps you safely get the results you want, in a sustainable way.
These few incidents got me thinking and reflecting on our cultural beliefs:
⭐️ As a society, we have been brainwashed to believe whatever is fast and intense is good for us, and whatever is slow and gentle won’t bring us any value.
⭐️ As a society, we tend to be more attracted to whatever brings us instant gratification rather than choosing to be patient and experience a long term result.
Which outcome do you prefer? Fast and short term result or slow and long term result?
