As a Fitness Professional I do my very best to help my clients succeed in their programs, I provide them resources, assign them work to do outside of their sessions, follow up on their requests & queries and ensure they receive the best training available all to achieve what they want in return for their investment, RESULTS!
However where a lot of people fall down in their Fitness Programs and hence their results is when they fail to turn up to their session. They may do this regardless if they sign up to train with a PT as part of a Group PT program or join a gym. It may happen initially because of work, family commitments, social obligations all of which are valid reasons but what happens is if you don't make up that session asap and ensure you get to your next session at it's original time you will find something else will pop up that you will have to do instead and another and another.....
Before you know it, time has passed you by and you have had no to little Return On your Investment, you results are little to non-existent and all you feel is frustrated and just as unhealthy as you did before.
We do our best to combat this by contacting clients missing from their Sessions, being accessible and where possible allowing Make Up Sessions but if you truly want the very best results we or any other Fitness Professional can provide you (like the people in these Testimonials), then you must treat your appointment as The Most Important Appointment in your week, reschedule everything else around it. Make it a last resort to cancel or change it and if you do miss it, make sure you arrange a make up session asap.
Why? Because every time you fail to train you are cheating yourself, you are not getting a Return On Investment, you are Improving your Health and you are taking a Step Further Away From Your Results .
Think about why you invested in your Fitness Program stay true to your commitment and to yourself.
Tips for a High Return on Investment (aka Serious Results!) when working with a Fitness Professional
- Make your appointment with them the most important in your calendar
- Give them 24 hrs notice before you miss any session
- If you do have to cancel, immediately commit to a Make Up Session (If you give sufficient notice this shouldn't cost any extra)
- Let them know if you are running late, before your session is scheduled
- If they assign you work outside of session, complete it. It's to help you, Not judge you.
- Trust their Opinion & Advice (otherwise why did you pay them in the first place)
- Talk to them asap if you have any worries or concerns regarding your program, so they can help solve them
If you have any questions on this blog just let me know.
Be Unstoppable!
