Build Better
Programs
For Clients

If you feel like you struggle to write good training programs for clients or you often create programs that just fall flat when you try to deliver them in a session, you’re not alone!

Assessing and programming for clients can be exhausting as a trainer. You have to balance a client’s goals with their needs and you’re on the clock to get results. Not to mention, there’s so many variables that it’s easy to get overwhelmed or frustrated when the client just can’t seem to get their body in the right position or do the exercise correctly.

The truth is that creating and delivering great training programs actually requires you to be good at 3 different things: assessments, program design, exercise coaching.

Without the ability to do all three, your training programs can’t be world-class.

What you need are the simple systems that help you identify the best exercises for each client and the coaching cues to make delivering each workout seamless. And, that’s exactly what you’ll receive at the Practical Programming and Coaching workshop!

Between hands-on coaching sessions, basic and advanced programming lessons, and working with real people in real time, you’ll get comfortable building training programs for nearly all client goals and gain confidence in your ability to coach and progress exercises quickly and effectively.
