What differentiates good from great trainers? It is their ability to engage and empower clients towards self-sufficiency, and deliver memorable experiences that keeps them coming back. This requires more than exercise science - requires rapport-building and communication skills; knowledge of behavioral change and stage of behavior; understanding personality styles and avoiding personality conflict; implementing appropriate motivational and adherence strategies; and creatively building business within and outside the confines of the health club. Join this session to learn key strategies to become a great trainer.
