I offer a series of tools to my clients to assist in truth telling. After all, clients don't come to me so that I can sugar coat things and offer lip service, they come to accomplish results. Results are measured by a series of tools that tell the truth to my clients. A scale for example can be used as a truth teller. A measuring tape can be used to show body measurements. A Before/After Full body photo is another tool. Not all clients are motivated by or benefit from these types of tools and depending on the client I also offer a variety of Fit Tests, a Heart Check, as well as a Before/After Face Photo to name a few.
These tools help me show my client that progress is being made and today I used a good old fashioned seamstress measuring tape to tell the truth to 3 separate clients; all unique in their goals. After all, when is the last time a measuring tape lied to you?
21 INCHES - That is the number of combined inches that my 3 clients have lost over the past 2 months.
They are achieving their goals and all 3 left their session encouraged. Well, to be fully honest, one is still in a state of disbelief which requires an even deeper level of truth telling. The kind of truth telling that goes beyond hard evidence or black and white facts. This is when I offer Soul Training. Soul Training is where I get the opportunity to remind clients again and again how amazing they are today.
As a Personal Trainer, days like these are incredibly encouraging to me. Not only do I get to help clients achieve their goals, I get to remind them no matter what, they are strong, amazing and unique.
