Chad Landers has over 30 years of experience as a personal trainer. He started as a young trainer, working for others as an employee or a contractor, as most trainers do, but eventually became a gym owner. More importantly, his gym has survived in LA, an incredibly saturated and competitive market, through both the mid-2000's financial crisis as well as the recent COVID epidemic. He's prioritized value-based teamwork, developing relationships, evidence-based knowledge, understanding of history, good communication with a client-centered, individualized approach, and coupled that with a strong foundation of basic financial knowledge and planning. Because of this approach, he's had the fortune of working with clients long term, had the experience of working with high profile clients, helped other trainers develop their careers, and he is essentially the model of how to make personal training a long term, feasible, and rewarding vocation. Chad Landers, the 2018 NSCA Personal Trainer of the Year, joins Iron Culture to share his knowledge in this enlightening episode. 

In this reposted episode, Stuart speaks to Chad Landers about what it's been like being a trainer for 25 years, why the relationship you have with your clients is so important, client retention, scope of practice and what he'd tell his younger self about being a successful personal trainer.   Find Out More About Chad: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chadlanders/  Website: https://pushprivatefitness.com/    Find Out More About LTB: Website: http://bit.ly/2PsSSLR  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/liftthebar/

I welcome back two returning guests and two great coaches: Melody Schoenfeld (Episodes #88 and #205) and Chad Landers (Episode #106). As they are both gym owners in the state of California, a state which has been more aggressive than most with lockdowns, I wanted to know more about how they've been reacting to the situation. Both Chad and Melody operate different formats of training and both had to shift their clientele to methods that worked best at the time.

Chad Landers could have been a movie star had he not chosen fitness a long time ago and had Robert Downey Jr not taken all his roles so Chad set out and somewhere along the way became more than just a good trainer. He won awards and become industry renowned as a world class trainer and person. Chad shares his thoughts on why what we do in the fitness industry is so important, the right reasons to work in fitness, the importance of happiness for ourselves and our clients, thoughts on owning his own facility, and delivering value in our work. Perhaps best of all, Chad sheds light on the sense of entitlement we now often see of personal trainers who frustrated having to work in commercial gyms, to gain experince and learn the business. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thefitnessdevil/support
