💬 Trainer Confessions: Things We Wish Clients Knew
1. We don’t care about your starting point. We care that you showed up.
▪You don’t need to be “fit” to start. You don’t need to be perfect to progress.
Just walk through the door — We’ll take it from there.
Consistency beats confidence every time.
💬
2. You’re doing better than you think.
▪Most clients underestimate their progress.
Strength isn’t always visible — sometimes it’s:
• choosing to show up
• lifting 5 lbs more
• bouncing back faster
• having ONE more good day than bad
Give yourself credit. You earned it.
💬
3. We don’t judge you for taking breaks.
▪Resting doesn’t mean you’re weak.
It means you’re training smart.
The real mistake? Pushing past fatigue and getting injured.
Rest when you need. I promise I’m not silently counting. 😉
💬
4. We’d rather you tell us the truth than tell me what you think we want to hear.
▪If the plan isn’t working… tell us.
▪If you’re stressed… tell us.
▪If you hated Monday’s workout… tell us.
Your results depend on honesty, not perfection.
💬
5. You don’t need to be motivated. You just need structure.
▪We don’t wake up motivated every day either.
But we rely on:
• routine
• accountability
• habits
• systems
Motivation comes *after* you start, not before.
