Ever wondered if you're pushing hard enough in your workouts- or maybe too hard? The answer might be hiding in your heart rate. In this episode, we're breaking down heart rate training zones and what they mean for cardio, HIIT, and strength training, especially for women in midlife.You'll learn:Why heart rate is more than just a number on your watchThe difference between training with % of max heart rate vs. Heart Rate Reserve (HRR)How to calculate your own HRR for personalized zonesWhat heart rate typically looks like in strength training (hint: it's not about staying in a zone!)Quick HRR Example:For a 45-year-old woman with a resting heart rate of 65:Max HR ≈ 220 – 45 = 175 BPMHRR = 175 – 65 = 110Zone 2 (60–70%) = (110 × 0.60) + 65 → 131 BPMup to (110 × 0.70) + 65 → 142 BPMSo instead of a wide guess (105–123 BPM), her true Zone 2 range is 131–142 BPM.Heart Rate Zones (% of Max HR):Zone 1 (50–60%): Easy effort, recovery walksZone 2 (60–70%): Brisk walk, steady cycling; best for fat metabolism & enduranceZone 3 (70–80%): Moderate cardio; jogging, dance fitnessZone 4 (80–90%): Hard effort; sprints, hill repeatsZone 5 (90–100%): All-out bursts; short HIIT intervalsBy the end of this episode, you'll know exactly how to use your heart rate as a tool- not a guess, so you can get the most out of every workout without burning out.

Healthcare payments consume between $650 billion and $1 trillion annually in billing and insurance-related costs—an amount comparable to the entire U.S. Defense Department budget. At the heart of this staggering inefficiency lies a fundamental problem: when patients receive care, nobody actually knows in real-time whether the insurance will pay for it. Mike Desjadon, CEO of Anomaly, spent nearly two decades in healthcare payments before building a company to solve this core issue. In this episode, we explore how Anomaly is creating "payment assurance" for healthcare—bringing the same real-time payment certainty that exists everywhere else in commerce to an industry desperately in need of it. Topics Discussed: The massive scale of healthcare billing costs and why precision is impossible at this scale How the complex coding system (ICD, CPT, revenue codes) creates a "ridiculous Rubik's Cube" of payment determination Why healthcare lacks payment assurance while every other industry has real-time payment certainty The fundamental information asymmetry between providers and insurers that drives administrative waste Anomaly's approach to using AI and machine learning to predict payment outcomes early in the care process The strategic decision to focus exclusively on providers rather than serving both sides of the market   GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Avoid "Annual Curiosity Revenue" in favor of deep customer relationships: Mike warns against chasing what he calls "ACR" - contracts driven by curiosity about new technology rather than real value. Instead of racing to accumulate surface-level customers, Anomaly focuses on 1-5 anchor customers where they forward-deploy engineers and dedicate leadership attention. As Mike explained, "I'd rather take a much smaller amount of those trusted pitches... find me 10 of the right conversations, don't find me a hundred surface level conversations." In healthcare's 14-month sales cycles, shallow relationships burn runway without building sustainable growth. Match your go-to-market strategy to industry realities, not investor expectations: Healthcare's long sales cycles and conservative nature require a fundamentally different approach than traditional SaaS growth models. Mike structured Anomaly's capital and hiring strategy around 14-month sales cycles rather than trying to compress them. "If you know that it's a 14 month sales cycle... being realistic about those timeframes and those capital structures, you just make sure your plan on burn matches your plan on strategy." This meant hiring customer success and engineering talent before traditional sales roles, aligning team composition with the actual customer adoption process. Segment ruthlessly based on transformation readiness: Not every healthcare organization is ready for transformative technology. Mike emphasizes the critical need to identify whether prospects are "looking for transformation" versus "looking to automate an isolated process." He shares that distinguishing between these segments determines the entire sales approach. Organizations seeking transformation are willing to work through implementation complexity for substantial outcomes, while those seeking automation want predictable, incremental improvements. Misreading this distinction leads to failed sales cycles and misaligned product development. Use forward-deployed engineering as a competitive advantage: Rather than traditional customer success managers, Anomaly deploys engineers directly to customers during implementation. This approach proves particularly valuable in AI/ML applications where the technology is rapidly evolving and customer needs aren't fully defined. Mike notes, "Having engineers in that has been hugely valuable for us because we're able to really quickly deliver value, very quickly deliver outsized value." This strategy enables rapid iteration, builds deeper technical trust, and often leads to expanded contracts through demonstrated capability rather than traditional sales pitches. Build category credibility through case studies, not connections: In healthcare, having impressive investors or warm introductions matters far less than demonstrating proven results with known organizations. Mike emphasizes, "What you need in healthcare is slapping six case studies down the desk... show me the six organizations that I know that you work with that are going to tell me I should work with you." This insight drives Anomaly's entire early-stage strategy—prioritizing customer success and measurable outcomes over rapid customer acquisition, building the credibility foundation needed for future sales acceleration.     //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Cody Maynard returns to the Show Up Fitness Podcast to reveal exactly how he's projecting a $150,000 annual income after only eight months as an independent trainer.The secret isn't complicated marketing schemes or sales tactics. Instead, Cody shares how continuous education has transformed his career, describing how he immediately implemented knowledge from recent seminars into his training sessions. "You get that 'whoa' from the client and you're like, yeah, all right, paid off there," he explains, highlighting how investing thousands in education creates immediate returns through improved client retention and referrals.Unlike many trainers who spend hours creating complex workout programs, Cody focuses on fundamentals. His assessment process combines careful listening with movement analysis and a mini-session that showcases his expertise. This comprehensive approach eliminates sales pressure because clients immediately recognize his value. His programming philosophy emphasizes progressive overload rather than constant novelty: "If it's not broke, don't fix it," he says, noting how clients appreciate consistency when they're seeing results.Perhaps most revealing is Cody's ability to adapt his communication style to each client's preferences, from the early morning client who barely wants conversation to the high-energy afternoon sessions.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Ever wondered why so many personal trainers struggle despite having "gold standard" certifications? This eye-opening exploration pulls back the curtain on the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) - the fitness industry's equivalent of McDonald's.Founded in 1987 by Dr. Robert Goldman and developed by respected professionals like Dr. Michael Clark, NASM once represented cutting-edge fitness education. Today, after multiple corporate acquisitions (Ascend Learning in 2009, then Blackstone in 2017), it's become a marketing powerhouse with 1.5 million certified trainers worldwide. But quantity doesn't always equal quality.We dive deep into NASM's transformation from respected education provider to corporate giant, examining both its strengths (global recognition, gym employment opportunities) and critical limitations. The certification offers minimal business training, relies on outdated biomechanical concepts like upper cross syndrome (largely debunked by physical therapists), and features questionable programming recommendations.Most troublingly, newly certified trainers face a harsh reality: $9-12 per half-hour pay at big box gyms while clients are charged $50+, demanding split shifts, and pressure to sell supplements they may not believe in. It's no wonder 90% of trainers quit within their first year.True success in fitness requires more than passing a multiple-choice test. Elite trainers need mentorship, hands-on experience, business acumen, and professional networks – elements textbook certifications rarely provide. Whether you're considering becoming a trainer or looking to level up your career, understanding the limitations of standard certifications is crucial to avoiding the common pitfalls of the fitness industry.Ready to move beyond basic certifications?

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!The hidden truth behind successful personal training isn't just exercise knowledge—it's mastering the art of sales. After surveying countless fitness professionals about why trainers quit the industry, one answer stood out: the inability to sell their services effectively.Most trainers make critical mistakes during the sales process. They talk excessively when they should be listening, make conversations self-centered rather than client-focused, and struggle to convey their true value. The result? Potential clients walking away with "I'll think about it" instead of signing up for transformative training packages.The core issue is a confidence problem rooted in competence gaps. Trainers who struggle with sales often lack depth in their professional knowledge and network. They can't fluently discuss anatomy, haven't attended hands-on continuing education, and don't have relationships with allied health professionals like physical therapists and registered dietitians. These deficiencies create subtle insecurity that clients can sense during consultations.Through real-world examples—including the story of an executive client who paid $8,400 for a month of training and brought a $400 whiskey bottle as a thank-you gift—this episode reveals the psychology behind successful fitness sales. You'll learn practical techniques for assessment processes that convert, setting clear expectations, handling objections confidently, and building genuine relationships with clients.The most transformative action you can take today? Record yourself delivering a sales presentation, analyze your performance objectively, and challenge yourself to approach potential clients with confidence-building exercises. Sales isn't something you can avoid as a trainer—it's a fundamental skill that, when mastered, allows you to help more people transform their lives while building the career you deserve.Want to ask us a question?

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Falls among the elderly cost our healthcare system over $50 billion annually—a staggering figure made even more heartbreaking when you realize many are preventable through proper strength training. Yet the fitness industry continues pushing ineffective "gentle" approaches that fail to provide adequate stimulus for meaningful adaptation.This episode dismantles outdated training myths for older adults and presents a comprehensive framework for designing strength programs that truly address the physiological changes of aging: sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass) and dynopenia (loss of power). Using a 70-year-old retired professor as our case study, we walk through exactly how to assess, design, and progressively overload a training program that builds functional strength where it matters most.You'll discover why motor unit recruitment through appropriate loading strategies is essential for bone remodeling—specifically, resistance training with weights that challenge clients in the 8-10 repetition range. We explain why popular balance training methods using unstable surfaces fail to produce optimal results compared to properly designed unilateral strength exercises that challenge stability in the frontal plane.The episode provides a detailed three-day-per-week program with specific exercises, sets, reps, and progressions that can be immediately implemented with older clients. You'll learn assessment strategies that evaluate relevant movements like sit-to-stand rather than irrelevant ones like overhead squat, and understand how to incorporate cognitive challenges that stimulate brain-derived neurotrophic factor for improved neuroplasticity.Beyond program design, we address crucial considerations like increased protein needs for seniors and practical coaching strategies that build confidence while challenging clients appropriately.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Jake's IG: Jake_SchumEver wonder what happens when a professional athlete's career ends? Jake Schum's remarkable journey from NFL punter to elite fitness coach offers a masterclass in resilience and reinvention.Jake takes us through his winding path to professional football—starting with soccer, transitioning to football, walking on at University at Buffalo, and eventually earning spots with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Green Bay Packers. The rarity of NFL punting positions (just 32 in the world) meant constant competition and uncertainty, but Jake's unwavering determination kept him pushing forward: "I'm going to make it one way or another. I'm just going to keep knocking at the door."What truly sets Jake's story apart is how he transformed his athletic experience into coaching expertise. Unlike many trainers who start with certifications, Jake built his foundation through practical experience and mentorship, including training at the legendary Westside Barbell with Louie Simmons. Those experiences shaped his coaching philosophy: "I've seen plenty of people book smart that don't know what the heck they're doing in the gym." Now operating from a fully-equipped garage gym in Buffalo, Jake applies the conjugate training system to clients ranging from competitive athletes to everyday fitness enthusiasts. His approach combines functional strength with mobility and flexibility—skills he needed as a punter who "was literally pretty much doing a split in the air." Even Buffalo's notorious winters don't stop his dedicated clients from showing up.As a father, Jake has redefined the "dad bod" standard, maintaining his impressive physique while balancing family responsibilities. His practical advice for aspiring trainers emphasizes consistency, authenticity, and proactive client development: "You have to put in the work.

We'll talk about how improving joint range of motion, control, and coordination can help you feel less stiff, recover faster, and get more out of your strength training.From shoulder rolls to hip shifts, these simple but powerful movements can reduce injury risk and help you feel strong and capable in your own body-whether you're chasing grandkids or crushing dumbbell workouts.Tune in to learn why mobility is the missing link in your routine, and how to start adding it in today.Join us in the Inspire Fitness program: Use the link here: https://inspirehw.com/ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fit.nutritionist?igsh=MTJqZXhjODR2ZzduaA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Casey.Young.RD.CPT?mibextid=LQQJ4d

En Haïti, Laurent Saint-Cyr prend la tête du Conseil présidentiel de transition ce mercredi (6 août 2025). Comme prévu, lors de sa création en avril 2024, la présidence du CPT change tous les cinq mois. Il succède, donc, à Fritz Alphonse Jean et va devoir tenter de convaincre des Haïtiens désabusés, notamment face à la dégradation de la situation sécuritaire. «Le CPT est passé totalement à côté de sa mission. C'est un échec», estime ainsi Sephora, étudiante haïtienne interrogée par le correspondant de RFI à Port-au-Prince, Peterson Luxama. Pour Frantz Duval, rédacteur en chef du Nouvelliste, Laurent Saint-Cyr et le Premier ministre Alix Didier Fils-Aimé «peuvent aussi bien sauver la transition que l'enfoncer». Provoquer un naufrage en règle ou tenter une césarienne in extremis. «C'est un peu la présidence tournante de la dernière chance», explique notre confrère haïtien qui rappelle que le CPT est censé remettre le pouvoir à des élus, le 7 février 2026. Les dirigeants haïtiens ont donc beaucoup à faire. «Or, pour l'instant, ils n'ont pas fait grand chose», souligne Frantz Duval. «Il faut remettre l'efficacité au service de la population, mettre l'intérêt du pays au premier plan et aussi remettre un peu de moralité dans tout cela», estime le journaliste. «Les membres du CPT ont été nommés mais n'ont pas été élus. Ils ont accaparé les fonctions et les privilèges, sans jamais assumer les responsabilités», juge-t-il. «Ils ne s'entendent sur absolument rien de ce qui est important», constate encore Frantz Duval.   En Bolivie, le lithium, enjeu de la présidentielle En Bolivie, l'élection présidentielle aura lieu le 17 août 2025. Un dossier pourrait peser sur le résultat du scrutin : le cas du lithium. Le pays possède les plus importantes ressources mondiales de ce métal indispensable à la fabrication de batteries, mais il peine à industrialiser le secteur. Deux entreprises, une russe et une chinoise, prévoient de venir extraire du lithium, mais les communautés locales s'inquiètent du peu de transparence autour de ce projet, et des potentielles conséquences de l'extraction sur leurs ressources en eau. Reportage de Nils Sabin.   Le Washington Post dévoile une partie du contenu du rapport américain sur les droits humains Le Washington Post a eu accès à certaines parties de la version quasi-définitive du très attendu Rapport annuel sur les droits humains dans le monde rédigé par le département d'État américain. Exit les accusations de mauvais traitements envers les prisonniers, de discrimination à l'encontre de personnes LGBTQ+ ou de corruption dans les chapitres consacrés au Salvador, à Israël et à la Russie que le Washington Post a pu lire. Il reste bien quelques mentions d'abus perpétrés par le gouvernement mais ils ont été atténués, précise encore le journal. Du coup, ces parties sont beaucoup plus courtes que sous Joe Biden et bien différentes aussi, voire en contradiction flagrante. Par exemple, au sujet du Salvador, on peut lire que les États-Unis n'ont reçu «aucun rapport crédible de violations significatives des droits humains» en 2024, que la violence carcérale a considérablement diminué dans le pays et que les assassinats supposés font l'objet d'enquêtes de la part du gouvernement, alors qu'en 2023, l'administration Biden dénonçait des meurtres, des cas de tortures et des conditions de détention (...) potentiellement mortelles. Il faut dire, précise le Washington Post, que le Salvador a accepté d'incarcérer des migrants renvoyés des États-Unis. Du côté du département d'État, on explique que le rapport 2024 «a été restructuré (...) afin de le rendre plus lisible». Il se concentre sur les «questions fondamentales», ajoute cette source anonyme, comme par exemple, le recul de la liberté d'expression. L'administration Trump «ne s'intéresse qu'aux droits humains de certaines personnes... dans certains pays, quand ça l'arrange», se désole dans les colonnes du journal Keifer Buckingham, ancien employé du département d'État. Plus généralement, c'est toute la conception de la démocratie que le président américain remet en cause, analyse le quotidien qui raconte qu'en juillet 2025, Marco Rubio a envoyé des instructions aux diplomates américains. Ils ne doivent plus commenter les résultats des élections qui ont lieu dans d'autres pays. Interdiction même dire que le scrutin a été juste et équitable. Motus et bouche cousue «à moins que ce ne soit dans l'intérêt de la politique étrangère américaine de le faire.»   Les cartels mexicains accroissent leur présence à l'étranger Grâce aux travaux du chercheur Víctor Manuel Sánchez Valdés, on apprend que le Cartel de Sinaloa est présent dans 96 pays quand son rival, le Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación n'est, lui implanté que dans 61 États. Ces groupes «reçoivent de la cocaïne d'organisations colombiennes, achètent des armes aux États-Unis, fabriquent des drogues synthétiques avec des précurseurs chimiques venus de Chine et blanchissent leurs bénéfices grâce aux systèmes financiers des Émirats arabes unis», résume El Universal. Si ces cartels étendent leur emprise sur toujours plus de pays, c'est tout simplement pour gagner plus d'argent. Ils privilégient les pays où aucune organisation ne répond à la demande locale, et ceux qui leur sont utiles soit parce qu'ils peuvent s'y fournir en produits chimiques, soit parce que le pays est un point de passage essentiel pour le trafic de drogue, explique Victor Manuel Sanchez Valdes. Selon lui, la seule solution pour démembrer ces réseaux, c'est que les autorités des pays concernés travaillent ensemble.   Adidas accusé d'appropriation culturelle Les sandales Oaxaca Slip-on d'Adidas seraient une copie des huaraches, les sandales traditionnelles portées par la communauté zapotèque du village Villa Hidalgo Yalalag. Or, cette population autochtone n'a été ni consultée, ni associée à ce projet, rapporte le journal Proceso. Les autorités mexicaines rappellent que c'est illégal. Il existe au Mexique une loi de protection du patrimoine culturel des peuples et des communautés indigènes et afromexicaines. Selon El Universal, elles demandent à Adidas de cesser de vendre les Oaxaca Slip-on et menacent de saisir la justice. Ce n'est pas la première fois que la culture de la région de Oaxaca est ainsi pillée, rappelle Proceso qui cite Zara, Isabel Marant ou bien encore Levis.   Le journal de la 1ère Benoît Ferrand nous parle d'un projet afin de construire un mémorial caribéen des catastrophes naturelles.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Dr. Jacob Goodin - https://www.drjacobgoodin.com/cscs-acceleratorEver feel overwhelmed by energy systems, wondering why your clients need to know about ATP or glycolysis? Dr. Jacob Goodin cuts through the complexity to reveal how bioenergetics knowledge transforms your coaching from guesswork to precision-guided results.The conversation begins with a clear breakdown of our three energy systems: the phosphagen system (lightning-fast but brief), glycolytic system (moderate speed and capacity), and oxidative system (slow but virtually unlimited). Dr. Goodin explains how these systems work in concert—not isolation—to fuel everything from explosive jumps to marathon runs. What makes this discussion particularly valuable is how he translates complex physiology into practical coaching insights.Perhaps most eye-opening is the myth-busting around the "fat burning zone." While lower-intensity exercise does use a higher percentage of fat for fuel, Goodin clarifies why this approach isn't optimal for fat loss: "The most time efficient way to lose fat is to build muscle and do higher intensity exercise." This single insight could transform how you approach conditioning for weight management clients.The podcast delivers golden nuggets about programming structure, explaining why putting cardio at the beginning of a workout compromises force production and hypertrophy gains. We learn why power and skill work should come first, strength second, accessory movements third, and conditioning last—a sequence backed by physiology rather than tradition.What separates this conversation from typical fitness content is its balance between science and application. Goodin doesn't just explain what happens in the Krebs cycle; he shows how understanding these processes helps you design better work-to-rest ratios, choose appropriate modalities for different clients, and create training sessions that satisfy clients while delivering results.ReaWant to ask us a question?

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!The fitness industry is on the brink of a massive transformation, and artificial intelligence will be the catalyst. Drawing from twenty years of experience as a trainer and gym owner, I'm making a bold prediction: AI will eliminate more personal training jobs than COVID did in 2020, when over 20% of gyms closed permanently and 1.4 million fitness jobs disappeared.This technological revolution will expose a harsh truth about our industry – most trainers lack the fundamental skills needed for long-term success. With 90% of textbook-certified trainers quitting within their first year, it's clear that passing a multiple-choice exam doesn't prepare you for real-world success. What's missing? Three critical components: technical skills (proper assessment and programming), business acumen, and effective people skills.To demonstrate this coming shift, I compared a $100 online program from a popular fitness influencer with a workout I created using ChatGPT in minutes. The differences were shocking. The purchased program offered generic macro splits, potentially dangerous exercise volumes (including "100 sumo deadlifts" after multiple heavy supersets), and no personalization options. Meanwhile, the AI-generated program included appropriate progressions/regressions, balanced movement patterns, and sensible training approaches – all hallmarks of competent programming.By 2030, when experts predict we'll reach artificial general intelligence, consumers will routinely use AI to evaluate fitness programs before purchasing them. The technology will immediately expose which coaches truly understand exercise science versus those selling glorified exercise lists. The fitness professionals who survive will be those who invested in hands-on experience, internships, and continuous education – and who leverage AI as a tool rather than seeing it as a threat.Ready to future-proof your fitness career?

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Dr. Pat Davidson reveals a revolutionary approach to understanding human movement through an evolutionary lens on this episode of the Show Up Fitness Podcast. Rather than treating exercises as arbitrary selections, Davidson presents his comprehensive seven-pillar model that creates a systematic, logical progression for any movement pattern – from the most basic to the most advanced.Davidson begins by cutting through fitness industry nonsense, explaining that personal training success requires strength in three areas: aesthetics (how you look), personality/charisma, and technical knowledge. This refreshing honesty acknowledges what many trainers ignore – clients want to spend time with people who are both fun and represent their fitness goals. Davidson's own transformation from being called "Fat Davidson" online to becoming a competitive bodybuilder in his forties demonstrates living these principles.The heart of the episode explores Davidson's brilliant application of evolutionary biology to movement patterns. Through the concept of Jacksonian dissolution, he explains how humans under stress revert to more primitive movement strategies – essentially "swimming through space" like our evolutionary ancestors. This explains why stressed or underdeveloped movers compensate with frontal plane strategies rather than the sagittal uprighting and transverse rotation that characterizes competent human movement.For trainers working with clients who struggle with movement, Davidson's "training wheels" approach provides a clear methodology. By strategically adding "ground" – points of contact, feedback, and support – trainers can help clients understand proper positioning and movement patterns. As clients develop competence, these supports are gradually removed, creating a seamless progression from "white belt" to advanced movement capabilities.The episode offers invaluable insights for fitness professionals looking to elevate their practice Want to ask us a question?

Poojan's journey from gym trainer to thriving entrepreneur offers a masterclass in leveling up your fitness career through strategic education, powerful networking, and unwavering persistence.Starting at just $30 per hour, Poojan now commands $100-120 per session and recently celebrated his most profitable month ever—clearing over $15,000 in June alone. The transformation wasn't magical but methodical, built on a foundation of continuing education that gave him the confidence and skills to solve client problems other trainers couldn't address."The only way you can fail is if you quit," Poojan shares, revealing how he overcame the imposter syndrome that plagues so many fitness professionals. By investing in specialized training that taught him advanced assessment techniques and corrective strategies, he positioned himself as a solution provider rather than just another trainer. This expertise allowed him to build relationships with physical therapists, dietitians, and chiropractors who now refer clients to him regularly.The conversation dives deep into practical business strategies, from systematizing the client acquisition process to reframing limiting beliefs that hold trainers back from charging what they're worth. Poojan sales system—complete with qualification questions and consultation deposits—ensures he only invests time in serious prospects while maintaining an impressive conversion rate.Perhaps most valuable is the discussion about mindset shifts required for business growth.

"I remember being thrown on the gym floor and told to start selling," she recalls, highlighting the gap between education and business skills that causes 80% of trainers to leave the profession within two years.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Kathleen explains why today's digital-first approach to fitness education is actually holding new trainers back. "Everyone's getting their CECs online, and it's convenient not to gather," she observes, "but the gathering piece is critical." Through compelling examples from her own career—including how she met her Coach360 co-founder at an industry event—Kathleen makes a powerful case for in-person networking as the secret ingredient to fitness career longevity. As she puts it, "Your network is your net worth."Looking to transform your fitness career or just getting started?

Wait, you mean you have to charge for your amazing services?! How scary!! The pricing conversation is a BIG one! If you've ever felt scared to ask for a dollar amount, to raise your prices or even did what most clinicians do and undercharged, this episode is for you!  Claire McLean, PT, DPT, NCS, Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS, and Emily Duval Ledger, CPT dive deep into setting and raising prices for professional services. The key takeaway is clear: healthcare professionals often dramatically undervalue their expertise. Many therapists and wellness professionals struggle with pricing, frequently charging far less than their services are truly worth. The hosts shared personal experiences of initially undercharging, revealing common mistakes that plague the industry. These include basing prices on limited insurance reimbursements, feeling guilty about charging fair rates, and failing to account for the true costs of delivering high-quality professional services. Claire McLean introduced her "back and forth math" approach to pricing that considers multiple financial factors. This method involves calculating monthly income needs, factoring in taxes and business expenses, determining realistic client capacity, and carefully considering additional costs like staff, benefits, and overhead. The goal is to create a pricing structure that not only sustains the business but allows practitioners to deliver their best work. The conversation highlighted several key pricing principles that can transform a struggling practice into a thriving business. Practitioners must recognize that their energy and expertise are their most valuable assets. Charging appropriately prevents burnout and allows professionals to maintain the passion that drew them to their field. By creating clear value and communicating pricing transparently, businesses can attract clients who are truly committed to their own transformation. Learn practical strategies and insights so you and your clients will both thrive!

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!What does it take to leave behind a 20-year healthcare career and build a thriving fitness business? Meet Michelle Smith, who took the leap from medical professional to gym owner and never looked back.Michelle's journey begins with a whisper—literally. While running one day, she heard a voice saying "you've got three years," which became her timeline to transition away from a healthcare job she'd grown to dislike. Starting with just three clients in her basement, Michelle built a foundation that would eventually grow into multiple training facilities.The path wasn't straightforward. Despite her extensive healthcare background, including work as a certified orthotic fitter, Michelle struggled with traditional personal training certifications. The textbook approach didn't match her hands-on learning style or the practical skills needed for real-world client success. It wasn't until she found education that emphasized anatomical understanding and practical application that she began to thrive.What sets Michelle's story apart is her methodical approach to career transition. She advises calculating exactly how many clients you need to replace half your salary, then gradually reducing hours at your day job as your training business grows. "You have to figure out if your why is bigger than your paycheck," she explains, highlighting that passion must drive the decision to change careers.Today, Michelle specializes in women's health, particularly helping clients navigate perimenopause and menopause—a niche she discovered organically as she and her clientele aged together. Her willingness to pivot and evolve her business model has been key to her longevity in the industry, along with her dedication to continuous learning.Whether you're contemplating a mid-career change or looking to build a more fulfilling fitness business, Michelle's experience offers a roadmap for combining passion with pragmatism.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Professor Barabara Zabawa owner of wellnesslaw.com and author ofQuick & Easy Wellness Law: "No Fluff" Answers to Wellness Practitioners' Most Common Legal Questions & Law for Fitness Managers and Exercise ProfessionalsWhat's the real difference between certification and licensure? Can a waiver actually protect you from liability? Where exactly is the line between personal training and physical therapy? These are the critical questions facing fitness professionals in what legal expert Barbara Zabawa calls "the Wild West" of wellness law.In this eye-opening conversation, Professor Zabawa—a wellness law specialist with 25 years of experience and author of "No More Wild West: The Need for Standards in the Wellness Industry"—cuts through the confusion surrounding fitness industry legalities. She reveals why certifications aren't legally required (despite what many believe), explains how gyms and insurance companies create private requirements that feel like legal mandates, and offers a sobering look at when waivers actually protect you—and when they absolutely don't.The discussion takes a particularly practical turn when addressing scope of practice concerns. Zabawa describes the "ideal client" for non-licensed professionals and the red flags that should prompt referrals to licensed healthcare providers. For trainers working online, she shares a surprising legal risk many never consider: being held liable for visible hazards in your remote client's environment.Perhaps most valuable is Zabawa's insight into why more injured clients don't sue their trainers (it's not what you think), and the specific steps fitness professionals can take to protect themselves legally.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Devang IG = d_fit_manThe fitness industry struggles with a respect problem. Whether in the United States or India, personal trainers often fight an uphill battle against stigmas that minimize their profession as "just a side hustle" rather than a legitimate career path. This eye-opening conversation with Devang, a fitness instructor from Gujarat, India, reveals surprising parallels in the challenges trainers face worldwide—and actionable strategies to overcome them.Devang shares his journey from engineering student to fitness professional, including the discouraging first question from his family: "Who's gonna marry you?" This response highlights the universal undervaluation of fitness careers despite their critical importance in addressing public health crises. In India, where only 4% of the 1.4 billion population engages in physical activity, metabolic diseases run rampant through generations of families.The podcast dives deep into why personal training lacks prestige—primarily due to minimal entry barriers compared to respected professions like medicine or law. When anyone with a good physique can become a trainer without certification, the profession's perceived value diminishes. This problem compounds when trainers receive only 30% of personal training fees in commercial gym settings while working grueling 12-16 hour days.The conversation shifts from problem to solution, outlining a blueprint for elevating the profession beyond collecting certifications. Successful trainers develop business acumen, network with healthcare professionals, and create comprehensive wellness centers that command respect. By building teams that include physical therapists and dieticians, trainers position themselves as integral parts of the healthcare ecosystem rather than isolated fitness specialists.Ready to transform your passion for fitness into a respected, sustainable career?
