- What types of customers have you worked with?
The two biggest excuses that we all tend to make is that we are too busy and we are too tired. I help my clients overcome these excuses so that they can keep fitness a top priority. Let's face it everyone is busy, and there are probably many people in the world who are busier than you. It isn't that we don't have time, it is that we are not using our time efficiently! Using tools like my accountability log, I help my clients learn how to be more efficient with their time. Working out and eating right will do wonders for your energy also. I do my best to help clients increase their energy levels by improving their diet and sleep schedule.
- What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
I've learned through experience that the true purpose of my job is to help people get long term results not just a temporary quick fix. Many clients hire me because they have a short term goal motivating them, like a wedding or a vacation that they want to lose weight for. Sometimes they have an athletic event they are trying to get in shape for. While short term goals are important to make, if you don't make long term ones also eventually your results will be gone. I challenge my clients to dig deeper to find out WHY it is important to them to get in shape. Knowing your reason WHY is the key to long term success. There will be days when you don't want to work out, and days when you don't want to eat healthy. If you don't know why you are making the sacrifices that you are making, then you will eventually get off track.
