In this engaging podcast episode with Aram Gregorian, creator of @4 Weeks2the Beach, we delve into his unique perspective on personal training. Titled 'Putting the Personal Back into Personal Training,' the conversation uncovers Aram's dedication to revitalizing the industry as a veteran with decades of experience.
He shares invaluable insights on how the digital landscape and disconnected approaches are eroding the essence of personal training.
Through genuine care and a profound connection with clients, Aram is on a mission to restore the heart and soul of personal training, making every fitness journey a deeply personalized and meaningful experience.
Welcome to this weeks episode. Based on my experience, I'm here to guide personal trainers on shifting clients away from relying solely on the scale for success. Tune in to learn how to embrace new approaches, leading clients toward a more balanced and fulfilling fitness journey. Let's dive in!
Welcome to another episode of our podcast, where we dive deep into the crucial connection between client retention and effective client management. As personal trainers, building lasting relationships with our clients is paramount, and that often means delving into their thoughts and struggles, even when they seem hesitant to open up.
We’ve all faced moments when clients shy away from discussing personal hurdles like impromptu food binges or skipped workouts. Our pursuit to comprehend these patterns, to uncover the “why,” can inadvertently lead to pushback and a potential loss of trust. I recall my early days as a personal trainer, grappling with this very challenge.
Some clients drifted away, seeking the next coach in line. But here’s the key: to retain and nurture clients, we must decode their experiences, identify red flags, and sidestep the pitfalls of pressing for answers.
In this podcast, tailored for fellow personal trainers, we’ll explore actionable strategies to cultivate a deeper understanding of our clients’ journeys, fostering lasting connections and ensuring they thrive. Join me as we unravel the art of empathetic client management and unlock the pathway to long-term success.
This podcast episode is all about: How Understanding What Goes On With 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗧𝗼 𝗣𝘂𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁, Transforms Results.
I used to believe busy clients with no self-prioritisation were “lazy”. I believed they just “lacked focus” and that we all have “the same 24 hours” in the day.
It wasn't until I shifted to understand their busy minds and people-pleasing tendencies that I achieved amazing client results (and longer-term sign-ups.) Ever hear your clients saying things like "𝙄 𝙗𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙜𝙤𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙞𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝙮𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙙𝙖𝙮, 𝙨𝙤 𝙄 𝙨𝙠𝙞𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙙 𝙡𝙪𝙣𝙘𝙝!"
or "I had to help a neighbor after work, so I skipped my exercise"? These are signs that they might be putting everyone else before themselves. It can seriously impact their results. Imagine this: clients juggling tasks left and right, yet forgetting to care for themselves. 🫢
They hire you with a genuine desire for change, yet sometimes struggle to follow through.
Ever experienced that? I sure have.
Their lives may seem like a jigsaw puzzle, with pieces everywhere. 🧩
Finding time for self-care feels like a treasure hunt for them.
They're busy people pleasing and helping everyone except themselves. Family, neighbours, colleagues etc 🚨𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼: Avoid just telling them to prioritize themselves more or fixating on schedules.
Avoid telling them “we all have the same 24 hours in the day.
The real game-changer is UNDERSTANDING their busy-brain dynamics. 🧠🐝
It's like peeling back layers to reveal their unique puzzle. As a personal trainers, you have the power to guide them through this journey.
☑️Show them different perspectives, assure them they're not alone, and encourage small steps like simple meal prep or short walks. p.s do you have these types of clients?I hope this podcast helps.
Welcome to "From Gym to Online," where I explore the realities of transitioning from a gym-based fitness professional to the online coaching world. Today, I'm excited to share my personal journey, unmasking the illusions and embracing the hard work that comes with building an online fitness business.
Its easy to feel frustrated as a Fitpro when clients share deep s*it they are going (or have gone)through, thats outside of exercise and eating. 🤨In this live video I help you to turn your clients concerns and pain into powerful change, whilst staying in your Fitpro lane. 💪I hope it helps!

10 Things Holding You Back as a PT
Confession! 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗧 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 wasn’t time, money, or even social media. It was ME!!
My mentor pointed out to me that when I got hung up on small shit, I had ZERO perspective or mental energy to deal with the big stuff.
Not everything goes well in my business all the time. I have days when I don’t want to do anything. Days where I don’t hit goals.
Sometimes we drop the ball or miss things and it’s cost us energy and money.
Technology is sometimes a mind melt.
Social media can be confusing.
IT HAPPENS. There are 𝗔𝗟𝗪𝗔𝗬𝗦 going to be obstacles and problems. (it's literally what being in business is).
I just want you to take enough massive messy action to earn yourself new problems, better problems than these.
Like …how to serve and manage all the new clients who have signed up to work with you without burning out.
Ignore Likes. Or follower count.
Or who unsubscribed or unfollowed.
Who’s thinking what or judging you or whatever.
𝗦𝗠𝗔𝗟𝗟 𝗜𝗦 𝗙𝗔𝗕𝗨𝗟𝗢𝗨𝗦.
𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀! And you can’t reach them if you take every single small obstacle personally as I did or if you react to treat small inconveniences as massive ones.
Keep going! your success is inevitable, it is just a matter of time

How My Client Mikes Has Created over €80k in Sales With Ideal Clients with ideal fit clients & without a website or add.
So I know you are probably a Fitpro, with a lot to offer your people.
But maybe you just dont know how to communicate and package up the value in what you to offer, so you are not pitching your fitness/health/wellness program.
In this episode I talk about #5 Things To Include in Your Program Pitch So It SELLS!
1. Before you pitch, employ the mindset that what you have to offer is needed, people will buy it. You are helping people by offering your services.
***2. Let people know who its for and not for, be clear..e.g is it for women only or men or both?
Is it for people who want quick fixes or a longer thing?***
3. Highlight the results they can expect. Let them know what other clients results have been or list how they will feel from the program eg more confidence, energy, less stress.
4. What is it costing them not to solve this problem? (not monetary) let them know what will most likely happen if they keep putting off taking care of their health e.g more weight gain, cholesterol high etc
5. State clearly how they can sign up and what the deadline is. Is it a link, a dm, comment box? guide them so it is clear exactly how they sign up and pay.
Stop waiting for the perfect time to pitch your offer, get it out there and know it will sell!!!
