My Training Problem<\/strong><\/h6><\/span>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>

I can remember the year my Personal Training Education took a massive leap forward. This was the year I transitioned from a Personal trainer to a Personal Performance coach.<\/p>\n

My clients were getting stronger and more fit, but they still weren\u2019t meeting many of their other health and wellness goals. Losing weight, happiness, fulfillment, work\/life balance, and stress management were among the goals we were failing to achieve.<\/p>\n

This question forced me into some deeper reflection about what it would really take to help clients realize their potential inside and outside the gym.<\/p>\n
