Subscribe to Community-wide general discussion What would you want from a fitness professional?

Hello everyone,

I am trying to hone an approach for my Elevated Energy Program for Professionals.

Currently I offer a (the best) Body Composition Analysis, and integrated fitness and nutrition plan, followed by on location fitness training. No equipment is needed.

It helps people feel better, increases productivity through good health, and as a fringe benefit helps weight loss.

If you had a Fitness Professional coming to your location, what would you want? What would make it really appealing to businesses?

I appreciate your input.

In health,

Todd

    Hi, Todd,

    Here's what I'd hope for based on your info above:

    • A personalized nutrition program that takes into account my lifestyle and time constraints;
    • Recommendations for fitness activities that are tailored to MY fitness level and goals (i.e., training for a triathalon v. general fitness).
    • Access to my trainer via e-mail for questions about my nutrition and fitness plans.
    • A trainer who will assess my strengths and weaknesses based on my ACTUAL state of being, rather than assumptions based on body size, age, gender, etc.
    • Someone who comes to me and can facilitate workouts on-site without access to special equipment (or just using equipment you can transport on-site).

    Those are my personal thoughts. If you want to appeal to businesses who will then offer your program as a benefit to employees, you need to show them why they should pay for this - how does the program benefit the company? Perhaps studies showing that higher levels of personal fitness lead to greater productivity at work (or fewer on the job injuries).

    Best wishes to you!

    Valerie
