  • I've been cheating on you (coming clean)
    Sep 21 2021

    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 tool

    So 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

  • Back Pain assumptions - Daft stuff I used to believe
    Aug 24 2021

    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

  • "I want my clients results more than they do" What to do if this is YOU
    Aug 20 2021

    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
