Lifestyle Fitness Coaching What is "Lifestyle Fitness Coaching?" Imagine having
someone who will keep you motivated and teach you how to achieve the body,
health and attitude you have always desired. A person that will hold you
accountable for taking care of yourself, and give you the desire and knowledge
necessary to make a genuine lifestyle change, not just go on another diet. A
Lifestyle Fitness Coach is just such a person. Much more than a personal
trainer, a Lifestyle Fitness Coach is all of these things and more. With a deep
desire to see you succeed, a Lifestyle Fitness Coach will guide you through an
exercise program for your body and a training program for your self-esteem. He
will teach you what you will need to know to continue on the road to health and
wellness long after you part company. Lifestyle Fitness
Coaching is becoming the next revolution in the fitness industry. For decades,
fitness professionals have had various degrees of success motivating clients and
making them accountable for a healthy lifestyle. Today, Lifestyle Fitness
Coaching has been refined into a science. Personal trainers no longer have to
wonder how to get and keep their clients on track with their desired results. Fitness and
lifestyle coaching is different than personal training in many aspects. Personal
trainers are responsible for initial and ongoing fitness assessments, program
structure, technique, application, programming updates and exercise science.
Lifestyle Fitness Coaches are responsible for uncovering the client's
motivational strategies, building rapport with the client, creating meaningful
dialog, using questionnaires to determine likes, dislikes, immediate,
intermediate and long term goals. In many cases,
clients will greatly benefit from both personal training and Lifestyle Fitness
Coaching. If an individual has more experience with exercise and lacks strategy
or motivation, they may be a candidate for more coaching rather than training,
yet both can be offered. When a person has little weight training experience,
but well defined and appropriate goals, and shows consistent motivational
techniques, they will likely need much less coaching and more direct oversight
of their fitness training program.
