What is Lifestyle Fitness Coaching?
Lifestyle fitness coaching is a specialized field in the
health and fitness industry. Centered on an ongoing and guided
process of dialogue, lifestyle fitness coaching offers a
systematic approach to guide your needs, interests, and personal
interests, and use the information to direct you toward
achieving your health and personal goals.
Lifestyle fitness coaching differs from personal
training in many aspects. |
"Coaching" is
an art and "training" is a science.
When
combined together correctly, the client attains higher levels
of success and satisfaction.
Personal trainers are responsible for initial and ongoing
fitness assessments, program structure, technique, application,
programming updates and exercise science.

Lifestyle fitness coaches are responsible for uncovering
the client's motivational strategies, building rapport with
the client, creating meaningful dialog, using questionnaires
to determine likes, dislikes, immediate, intermediate and
long term goals.

 In many cases, clients will greatly benefit from both personal
training and fitness coaching. If an individual has more
experience with exercise and lacks strategy or motivation,
they may be a candidate for more coaching rather than training,
yet both can be offered. When a person has little weight
training experience, but well defined and appropriate goals,
and shows consistent motivational techniques, they will likely
need much less coaching and more direct oversight of their
fitness training program.
