I was once talking to a potential client and mentioned that I had been training one fellow for over 15 years. She looked at me all crazy and said, After 15 years doesnt he know what to do yet? I said, think about this...Robert DeNiro is one of the greatest actors of our generation but when he walks on to a movie set he still has a director there who helps guide him get the most out of his performance. Thats what we as coaches and trainers strive to do. I have worked with professional athletes, soccer moms, businessmen, and people who have never exercised or stepped foot in a gym in their entire lives. Whatever level you are at you can always improve on something. There is always more. As a trainer I have many functions. I serve as a teacher for some. They dont know what to do and I show them. For some clients I am a motivator. I encourage them and give them that extra inspirational word or push when they need it. For some I am an appointment. They say to me,If I didnt schedule this workout with you I never would have trained on my own today! At some point I have been all of those things to each client. MD
