What Teaching Tech Taught me About Health

I’ve been a Certified Personal Trainer / Health Coach since 2002.

The main objective of my sessions has always been education so people eventually do not need me.

During this COVID-19 outbreak, I learned something so valuable that it may change my complete business.

I started teaching seniors how to Facetime and Video Conference with loved ones that they are no longer able to see in person due to this contagious virus.

How in the world does that relate???

The level of specifics that I need in teaching seniors how to use phones, computers and tablets is undeniable.

You can’t really say, “You have option A, B or C depending on how you want the outcome.”

Statements need to be phrased, “Do X, Y, then Z” in order to execute this function.

See the difference?

It is really the same in fitness.

I have been teaching people about their options because every ‘body’ and personality is different.

No wonder success rates are low!

Even if I give someone a great outline to maximize results, it is putting too much work in their hands.

A sub-par, generalized routine might have a higher success rate because it is easier.

With this new knowledge, I am redesigning my Recess Website to be a specific plan rather than educational philosophy.

Let’s hope it works!
