Using health benefits for personal training? At one point this was wishful thinking. Get sick, they said, then you can use those flex benefits. Gain weight, lose muscle and strength, then come back was essentially the message. Ever wished you could use your flex benefits toward your personal training and run into obstacles and red tape? Well, you're going to want to tune in because the world has changed in many ways this past 2 and a half years. This one is a welcome and it's just the beginning. If you sat on the sidelines watching gyms close, exercise options dwindle for those who needed it most then listen up. This interview episode unpacks the new MedFit Care and explains how if you've got a special condition requiring a more medical exercise specialist than the norm of pass-test-become-certified process, this is for you. Exercise became essential. Though it took time, over the course of the pandemic we've seen it happen. While some claim gyms are germ-ridden others have acknowledged that gyms, and trainers or even more qualified medical exercise specialists and health coaches, are a must. Let's dive into this episode about using health benefits for personal training or health coaching. My Guest: Lisa Dougherty started her fitness career in 1999 and has worked for over 20 years with clients with medical conditions or chronic disease, amassing dozens of certifications and continuing education along the way. Inspired by her father's cancer battle, she created the MedFit Network to help connect those with medical conditions to fitness, health & wellness professionals who could serve them. Later, seeing a gap in specialized education for these professionals, she founded the MedFit Education Foundation to facilitate and create high-quality education for all facets of medical fitness. She just recently launched MedFit Care which will offer medically necessary exercise prescriptions. Questions we answer in this episode: 04:05 You've made huge contributions to the fitness industry and to health, they are housed in 3 unique projects, describe those: MedFit Network, the nonprofit MedFit Education Foundation, and in 2021 the 3rd project, MedFit Care, a telehealth company offering medically necessary exercise prescriptions. 06:25 How is MedFit Network and the MedFit Education Foundation making a difference in the quality of education and knowledge available to trainers and health coaches, as well as physicians? 11:03 What is MedFit Care and how does it work? 14:10 How would listeners wanting to use health benefits for personal training learn if they qualify and find a qualified health & fitness professional?

20 Tips to More Midlife Fitness Clients Post Pandemic | #319

Play Episode Listen Later May 4, 2022 37:44

If you're working with midlife women and love solving the problems of insomnia, weight gain, and belly fat with exercise modifications made for menopause, and want more midlife fitness clients… or health coaching clients… this is for you. 00:00 You already realize that the time of day a woman exercises may determine how her hormones respond. She can improve or devastate her hormone status by the time of day she exercises. You're probably already advising women about the difference between lifting weights and lifting them according to bone building and metabolism-boosting methods for women. But… you aren't as certain about how to help more women. You wonder how to market more effectively so that you can make a bigger difference. Buckle that seat belt, lace up your shoes, and let's go. 1) 04:02 Become the expert – education above and beyond Nothing comes before this. You've got to have the goods as much for yourself as anyone. When you know you know and you have something to say, your voice is strong. If your voice is soft, you lack confidence because of what someone will think, double down on education. But not to a fault. Here's where trainers get stuck in overcompensating for some feeling they aren't enough by taking more and more courses and certifications. That isn't going to fill up a confidence hole. If you need a coach, get a coach. Work on you and your personal sense of self. Know which kind of education and training you need before you go investing in something that will never help you over the real problem. 2) 06:10 Create relationships with experts The doctors, dentists in your community, and coaches and authors online that serve your audience are golden resources for you (and you are for them). Connect with them, serve them. Like and comment and share their posts if you agree with them. That puts you on their radar. Ask to do a “live” with them on social and answer audience questions. (There's a way to do this that sets you up for success). Once you connect by serving and giving, you can explore opportunities for referrals or affiliate promotions. 3) 07:16 Leverage social media (don't waste it) When you have a message they need and are looking for, use it! Avoid common mistakes like incorrect use of hashtags, failure to warm up your feed before posting, and more. Are you aware of platform secrets for engagement? 4) 07:51 Avoid pitching on social media The fastest way to kill your social media success is share programs, use it like an “ad” for your webinar when it's not an ad. (Paid ads are fine). Your organic reach is going to be stifled by that. 5) 08:54 Build your email list If you aren't working on this daily with a juicy freebie you should be. Here's how. There's both the science of knowing how to help when you get them. There's the art of knowing who you work best with and who you repel. I gladly give client leads to our Flipping50 Fitness Specialists when I know they aren't the right match for me. There is an abundance of midlife fitness clients who need help. Be open to the idea you're not for everyone and that acknowledging that will bring you more business in the end. 6) 11:18 Send consistently valuable emails Once a week is minimum. If you just called your best friend once a week, would that be a little weird? Consider bumping it up to two and see what happens. Valuable means, though, not a sales pitch every time. If that's all it is, most of us will say no thanks and hit delete or at least never read really fast. 7) 12:44 Get media exposure Every local news station needs news to fill their programming every day. If you have news, and it's not your book or program or business, but real news you can talk about, and it's timely and relevant, they're interested. What recent research study is relevant to your work and their audience. By the way, women in midlife are often still watching the news on TV, so go for it. It's not actually the appearance on the news, it's what you do with it after that matters. 8) Write or present for the industry There are a dozen industry conferences that you can apply to speak at and share your expertise. If you have something special you've done and can teach other trainers and health coaches to do: a special workout, grown your social media, made X $ with a specific marketing strategy… it's worthy of an application. If you've formed great relationships with physical therapists and have a unique referral process, that's something other professionals can benefit from. I started teaching trainers the difference between coaching boundaries vs personal training back in 2000 and I've been presenting at major associations like IDEA, CanfitPro, NSCA, MedFit, FILEX, SCW and Club Industry, and Fitness Fest, ever since. It just takes one good idea and one conference to get started. 9) Make one call every day This is the easiest way on earth to gain clients. Few trainers or health coaches will do it. Recently a coach said to me, “How will I get to [$$$$ amount she wanted]?” and I said, “Are you still making the daily calls?” No. It had been less than 2 weeks. When you ask for help, you're given help, you have a choice. Fewer than 2% follow through. Nine out of 10 fitness businesses still go out of business or it's still a hobby taking a loss at tax time 5 years later. 10) Be your brand Work on your personal presentation in public. Look, I lived in a relatively small town before college, then moved to a college town that after 30 years had become pretty small. Everyone knew me everywhere I went. Then I moved to Boulder and then Scottsdale. I loved the anonymity… until… I'm in line at Walgreens (and again at the airport to board) and a woman says, “Do you have a website?” or “You look just like someone I follow online.” I can't make this up. In both cases, also can't make this up… it had been a busy day in business and I slapped on a visor and had not yet showered. No make-up, just getting done what I had to do. My point? I was not “representing” either of those times. In fact, was hoping to fly under the radar and not be recognized. But you don't get to choose. So, make sure you are comfortable if it happens. (I've decided I am. I go on camera that way too. The message for me is more important than me getting made up and pretending I'm perfect. But you may not be. So, if you are the spokesperson for your business, decide). One of the best organic sources of traffic for me was YouTube videos for 8 years. Until, that is the pandemic and everyone is on YouTube because there wasn't another best choice. However, the foundation you lay there will support your efforts. While consistency isn't a fast game it is always the best game. Call someone daily… no one does. Do videos 2 or 3 times a week… and keep doing it. No one does. You will win. 11) Talk About the Pandemic Listen, this is stupid. Few trainers and health coaches are using this in marketing strategies and it's ridiculous. Get on it. The problems today are not the same as problems pre-pandemic. Acknowledge it and offer a solution. 12) Offer free presentations to women's groups Every women's group has a presentation almost as often as they have a meeting. Generally, it's a monthly occurrence and often it's during nine months of the year excluding summer. There may be holiday months off, but that's 8 opportunities for you to let it be known that you can talk about exercise motivation, benefits of [your type of training], or bone density, for example. 13) Team up with organizations (for charity) Charity events are held annually in every town and city and online. Find ones that resonate with your midlife fitness clients. Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, American Heart or Cancer related events are a good start. Your local hospital and auxiliary are others. Be present to demonstrate how exercise or wellness reduces risk or improves outcomes. You can get in front of an audience who care about health and about community. 14) Get on video On social media, on your website pages and anywhere you can do it, video is the easiest way to do what you do best. You teach, explain, and design exercise programs that are effective. Or as a coach you provide clarity and support to clients making changes. Capture it on video and then share it (market it). 15) Write a book Anyone can write a book today. The barrier to self-publishing is low. Once you write it, it's about marketing it shamelessly to get it in as many hands as possible. A book (well done) immediately builds credibility. That includes references, expert interviews, story, and reviewers. The complete process is not a quick fix but you can flesh out your outline for a home run book quickly if you really know your customer. Link to 5 Day Flip: https://www.flippingfifty.com/midlife-clients More midlife fitness clients (or health coaching clients) come from the trail that leads them to you. When they get there, it's about your voice. Are you speaking the same rate as they are, making them feel more relaxed and confident they've found the answer? Test your voice, your literal voice. If it sounds childlike or is hard to listen to, you can change it with practice. 16) Trademark your system You should have a unique method, system or protocol that is proven to work. You want to have clients who can give testimonials that it's worked for them. You want to create video about why you created it. You want to talk about a single step in a presentation and mention this is just one of 5 (or 3 or 4) that you have. 17) Define your niche and stick to it The mistake most trainers make is thinking they can serve anybody and that getting specific will narrow their reach. The opposite is true. You won't attract anybody with “everybody” messages. If a reader, viewer, or listener doesn't see themselves in you and your message, they aren't going to take the next step. 18) Make it easy to start Reduce the barrier. That might be free something or a money-back guarantee. 19) Go beyond “free trial” or “free consultation.” Do a free class for a charity. Meet clients where they are with a less intimidating first contact. The ones that really need you are not ask likely to register for a free consultation as you might think. That's a big step for them. But a small challenge or a video or ebook that solves a problem for them is an easier, more convenient way to learn whether they trust you. 20) Always market. Whether it's paid ads you keep rolling on Facebook or it's a partnership with someone in town, you'll always want and need new leads. The most successful keep the lead sources always nurtured and never stop. If you had too many clients and couldn't service them, wouldn't that be a fun problem? Then you'll need, 10 Ways to Serve More Clients in Less Time, right? You just tell me when you're ready. And I'll tell you, if you can serve 10 you can serve 100, and 1000, and if you dream and you have the vision you can serve 10,000 or 100,000. You first have to see it. The best way to attract midlife fitness clients that you know you can help is to grow your support of them first. Gain confidence and strength in your voice. Gain the knowledge you need to do that without getting stuck thinking what you need is one more certification or degree.

My Guest Lisa Dougherty founded the MedFit Network in 2013. It is both a free online resource directory and professional membership organization. She established the MedFit Education Foundation, a nonprofit 501©(3) in 2017 to elevate the quality and amount of available education for fitness and allied healthcare professionals. Beyond COVID we are still facing a chronic disease, obesity, opioid and mental health crisis. This is an opportunity for the fitness & healthcare professionals to up level their education and services to be the front line of healthcare by aiding in the management and prevention of chronic disease. This is a time where they can expand their offerings and services to the largest, fastest growing demographic in the US (the world). Questions we answer in this episode: Who joins Medfit? What do you see Medfit members doing differently than a year ago when we were normal? Do you agree that this may also weed out the weak and leave us with the strong? As the founder of Medfit what have you found was the message of members during the pandemic? Were there noticeable waves of response?

We’ve made it. I analyzed your Flipping 50 podcast downloads to find the top 10 podcasts of 2020. Thank you for being her and sharing this journey with me! Here’s to 2021 one day at a time better. #10 Top podcasts of 2020 Best HIIT Workouts for Women Over 50 The 10th of the top 10 podcasts of 2020 is all about HIIT training for women over 50. I share the details with you to take the guesswork out of why and how. If you’re looking to reduce belly fat, make the most of exercise time, maybe believing the myth that it has to be high impact… this is your episode. #9 What is the Best Way to Do Core Exercise After 50? In this Q and A format I answer a listener question about how to do core exercise then if you’re not to do sit-ups and crunches. Core is a favorite topic and will always be so dive in if you are still romanced by sit-ups and crunches but getting no results or injured. #8 What is EMF and Why Should You Be Concerned Dr Joe Mercola joined me on this episode and that’s nearly enough said. For years, long before anyone else was doing it he was a go-to source for many of our listeners when it comes to health information. That is, until health information has begun to be subject to major pharma and sites sharing information against popular trends have been shut down. Dr Mercola joined me on this podcast to discuss his recent book. #7 What 2020 Fitness Trends Mean for You After 50 This top podcasts of 2020 episode went into detail about how and why the “trends” survey released annually by ACSM is interpreted incorrectly by media. I’ll be sharing an updated version of this podcast in just a few days as the 2021 trends survey is released. Why ? Because this year we don’t have wiggle room or latitude to pretend that a barre class is going to preserve muscle mass or bone density. We have been too inactive for too many months and our future selves will pay for it if we let it continue. #6 What Does It Mean to Go “to Fatigue” Reader Question In this popular new episode format from 2020 I selected questions from listeners and our Flipping 50 Insiders group (I’ll link to that below) to answer questions all year – particularly during the pandemic. In this episode it’s all about the importance of fatigue during strength training and distinguishing it from movement at a frenzied pace that leads to injury. #5 Becoming a Health Coach or Personal Trainer After 50 Your interest in this episode is timely. There is not a better time for a midlife woman to be considering it or growing her business. Women are excellent listeners, collaborators, and help agents. Combine these natural skills with the desire to love the work you do and create a flexible life you love, fitness and health coaching are a natural draw. The Advanced Flipping 50 Fitness Specialist has been supporting new hormone balancing fitness coaches for just over 2 years now. I’ve been asked to create courses for MedFit and for PTonthenet. As the founder of the first and only exclusively dedicated to women in menopause and beyond membership I can tell you the outreach for information is huge and growing. Baby boomers were only the first wave. And what happens to a women in menopause determines as much as 50% of her life health. If you’re thinking about it and you need information, now is the time to register for one of the last master classes from the Fitness Marketing Mastery Institute. #4 5 Proven Perimenopause & menopause Fitness Strategies I’ll warn you that this episode offers the simplest strategies ever. There’s no extreme exercise, or dieting, or eating exotic foods. So, if you’re looking for some hidden secrets you won’t find it here. But you will find five things you can easily test yourself one-by-one or all at once and start feeling better and getting better fitness results. #3 Getting Better Sleep Now | Beat Insomnia Just a couple months into the pandemic stress, anxiety, and disrupted schedules all combined with midlife hormone issues to cause sleep issues for many of you. In midlife we’re already subject to reduced melotonin levels and imbalanced cortisol plus blood sugar imbalances that can sabotage sleep. If you’ve also got night sweats sleep can be elusive. This episode is a live interview with a Flipping 50 member (and by the way the membership is open Dec 25-Jan 6, 2021) about sleep and what she most needed in the moment. No matter what is causing your sleep or insomnia, this may be helpful. #2 Exercise and Fasting After 50 | Does It Burn More Fat This 2nd most top podcast of 2020 is still a hot and somewhat confusing issue for women in midlife trying to juggle information about fasting, hormone balancing exercise, and their own fatigue or energy levels. If that’s you and fasting and exercise timing continue to confuse, this podcast will offer a much simpler way to decide, and test what works for you. #1 7 Walking Mistakes that Prevent Weight Loss After 50 This one oddly hinted at a problem that would come later in the year, but was released in January of 2020. Walking is the number one preferred exercise by women in postmenopause. Walking does a lot of things for health, wellness, and longevity. But it can’t do everything. There’s a threshold of ROI on walking. During the year of pandemic when many – including myself – turned to walking for so many reasons, this top podcast of 2020 is worth a listen or even a review.

The Dirty World of Fitness Conference Content

Attending a fitness conference this year? Taking a continuing education course? How well do you consider your goals and what you want to accomplish from the content you consume? In the world of fitness conference content and fitness association award winners it can be hard to distinguish between smoke and mirrors. Fitness Conference Reflect Reality? Is all that glitters, or has boobs and botox, really substantiated success you're seeing? Or are you in fact seeing the evidence of marketing. The package is the surface. What's inside that matters right? Before I go on, I have to say this, I'm a presenter at fitness conferences too. And you should look at me with the same scrutiny that you look at anyone else. I've presented internationally since 2000 for associations including IDEA, NSCA, CAN-FIT-PRO, ICAA, SCW, ABC, and Fitness Fest and MEDFIT, multiple times in many cases. I've also published articles for several of them and serve as Subject Matter Expert or advisory board member for others. Fitness Conference Content Alarms Taking advice from a presenter at a fitness conference talking about making money and programming can be tricky. Consider two very different skill sets. One skill set is the science and its practical application broken down into a daily and weekly action set that will get your clients or customers results. The second is the ability to make business decisions based on profit and loss, on profitability, and scalability of a program. There's More And yet a third is the ability to look at the much bigger picture of how many lives have a positive influence from the pursuit. Maybe a decision is okay if it's purely for enjoyment and hobby-sake. If it's a business that must pay the bills, support individuals and their families, and ultimately build a legacy not just have a spotlight and have fun, then there are different sets to apply and evaluate. Your Fitness Conference & Experts As a business leader – if only for yourself: someone who pays bills and taxes based not just on what you make but on what you keep – you need to be sure that you separate these two very carefully. I recommend that you look closely at the “back end” of any of your beloved presenters and do your homework. Learn from them, they are some of the best, and they are using science to relay programming to you. However, they may have no idea of how to actually implement a profitable program. How do you know? Ask these questions: Is this presenter doing what I'm doing or want to do? Is he/she running a profitable business using the tools and techniques they are teaching? Does that matter to me? What do I want and how do I define success? Is this content the main focus of the presenter's business life outside of presenting at conferences? Is this the sole, exclusive content the way the presenter makes a living? Knowledge vs. Application Because although a university lecturer may be a wonderful teacher, that lecturer has a regular paycheck regardless of the job or effort they put in (until someone evaluates them of course!) And you, as an entrepreneur or someone working on commission, do not have that luxury. If you work as a manager of a department, the profitability of your program matters. This year more than ever, if the profit margin on your programs and services has not supported your business but has only been supported by it, you're in a pickle right now. That just doesn't work anymore. If you've created a department of personal training for instance that simply extends the life and success of a club's members but really has no profit margin due to expenses and high commissions with too little revenue, without enough members continuing in, you have not created a sustainable model for this moment we're in. We Don't Celebrate Losses I'll leave that touchy subject alone because it's my educated guess that those trainers, managers, owners in that position right now are not listening to this episode. They're in a place where survival, not up-leveling, is and has to be their focus. For you though, listener, it's time to get real. For those sessions you're choosing and those continuing education courses your taking, make sure to filter what you're learning together with from whom you're learning it. The Bottomline So, there you have it, a sneak peek into how presenters are evaluated or they're not. Never once since 2000 when I began presenting did any conference organizer ask for my tax returns. My feeling is often that the greater the number of initials behind someone's name, the greater the number of titles, the greater the need to make up for something or prove something. The OverKill on Certifications and Titles Why would someone need a handful of jobs if just one of them were sustaining their lifestyle? It's a question you must ask. What is their business model? How do they earn money? How did they scale their business? How do they enjoy freedom in their life? Is this a model I want to use for my own? You don't have to get all you need from one individual. I do think you want to choose carefully the individuals you follow to know they match your values, and the life you aspire to. Did I stir up any questions? Comments?

The way we exercise after we turn 50 absolutely has to include a few essential elements. Strength training and working smarter, not harder, will keep you in tip-top condition! I'm joined by Debra Atkinson, founder of Flipping 50, to talk about keeping fit in your menopausal years. Key Takeaways Exercise smarter by doing shorter workers with bigger impact. [11:40] Prioritize strength training in your workouts to support your body as you enter your middle years [30:00] You should take a longer period of recovery in between strength training sessions. Aim for two sessions a week.

She's the bestselling author of You Still Got It, Girl: The After 50 Fitness Formula for Women; Navigating Fitness After 50: Your GPS For Choosing Programs and Professionals You Can Trust; and Hot, Not Bothered. Debra hosts Flipping 50 TV and the Flipping 50 podcast, an AARP top podcast for 50+ with over 1 million downloads. She is a frequent speaker and TEDx presenter of Everything Women in Menopause Learned About Exercise May Be a Lie. She has 36 years of fitness experience, is an International fitness presenter for associations including the International Council on Active Aging, IDEA, NSCA, and Athletic Business, and CanFitPro.

She's a frequent contributor at HuffPost, ShareCare, and other featured outlets and on the Education Advisory Board for Medfit.org. Why You've Been Exercising Wrong Most of Your Life If you've been listening to The Girlfriend Doctor podcast for any length of time, you know that research into women's health, especially in our menopausal years, is severely lacking. Unfortunately, this research is no better when it comes to exercise! I'm joined by Debra Atkinson to talk about how we can create a sustainable exercise plan that will keep us healthy into our 50s and beyond. Debra explains how she discovered the magic formula of exercise after 50: short, 20-minute bursts of exercise where you really get your heart pumping. It's about working out smarter and harder, not longer. Debra explains what types of exercise menopausal women should be focusing on. We both understand that we're taught to think that sit-ups and crunches are the keys to a flat and toned stomach. The truth is, these types of exercises that take us into a forward flexion are actually detrimental to our health. Instead, we should focus on exercises like planks that work on bracing your core. Debra walks us through a simple exercise that helps us learn what it should feel like to engage our core. What Kind of Exercise You Should Do After 50 Debra shares how, as a society, we've lost the regular daily exercise of yesteryear. Her mother says she doesn't regret exercising more in her life because the hard daily labor of working on a farm kept her fit and healthy. These changes are why it's vital for us to keep exercising well into our old age. The types of exercise we should really focus on are foot movement and flexibility and strength training. Both of these will help us as we age; foot movement is beneficial for helping us move quicker, especially if we have a trip or a fall. Strength training will help our entire body and mind, and Debra explains why. When it comes to refueling our bodies after a workout, Debra lets us know exactly when and what type of food we should be consuming. There really is a specific time period where refueling does us best. She shares her favorite post-workout food and talks about other options if you're not a smoothie person. Finally, Debra encourages you to create a workout routine you can stick to. It should include two strength sessions, three harder 20-minute sessions, and as many walks as you want every week. She also talks about recovery time between sessions and how you can adapt your routine if you don't feel up to a workout. Are you ready to reclaim your health and fitness after 50? What's your favorite type of exercise? As always, you can ask me anything and let me hear your thoughts in the comments on the episode page. If you have questions, email team@drannacabeca.com.

This follows my interview with Dr Michelle Maddux on adolescent female fitness. Next up in this series I'll round up with insight on training that booming market of women in perimenopause, menopause, and post menopause. Exercise in pregnancy and after delivery can be a significant part of working with women. As part of a new course being developed by the Medical Fitness Network, pregnancy and post partum are discussed in this episode. The course will launch in 2020. There will be a live pre-conference workshop at the Medfit Tour stop in Irvine in Feb 2020. Pregnancy and Exercise Expert Danielle Spangler, creator of CORE MOM (Corrective Obstetrical Related Exercise), is also a nationally known speaker, presenter, and contributing writer for the Medical Fitness Network and Medical Fitness Education Foundation. She's been researching in the prenatal space since 1995. She owns her own boutique fitness studio and together with her husband is parenting three children. (She's been there, done that!) In addition she's authored prenatal programs for continuing education for the National Academy of Sports Medicine and Fitness Learning Systems. What are some common mistakes and myths with exercise during pregnancy and after delivery? What are some key benefits of exercise for women and their unborn baby? Why is this Medfit Women's Health, Fitness, and Hormones course so important to the health and fitness professional? How will this [Medfit] course affect the health of a woman and empower her after childbearing years? Why do you think this course is unique compared to other courses out there?

Medfit can be found on Instagram and YouTube @MedicallyFit. Both of these men have been on the podcast in the past and gave quality information, so I figured I would invite them back. During this podcast episode, we started off talking about things we wish we all knew when we first started growing and what we've learned in the process. I'll be the first to admit, the first 20mins of this conversation, I had no clue what these guys were talking about, but I still learned a thing or two hearing them speak. After that, the conversation veered into many different and exciting cannabis growing topics. This was a two-hour conversation, so I opted to create a part 1 and a part 2. Part 2 of this podcast will be published tomorrow at 8 AM. CHG Nation, I'm thinking about creating this format into a podcast series where I bring on a few of experienced growers and mostly listening to what they have to say and learn from them.

I was fortunate enough to have youtube sensation on the Cheap Home Grow podcast this week. I(eye)yan aka Medfit talks in detail about soil amengements and why as a home grower you should care about what amendments you put into your soil. Medfit is self educated and talks about how he started growing in Las Vegas in 2014. Like many new or novice home growers he tested multiple different growing mediums but eventually found his way with growing organically. Medfit talks passionately about how super soil does nearly all of the work for him and like many traditional home growers that have to PH, PPM, EC etc.. he lets his soil do that work for him. He does into detail as to how this process works. I especially like this approach because as many of you know I'm a relatively new grower. I, like most home growers can't devote an excessive amount of time everyday to growing my own so Medfit's almost "hands off" approach is something I think you can appreciate especially if your looking for a simple way of growing your own cannabis without savificing quality or yield.

How to Choose Your Next Fitness Conference

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 19, 2018 43:49

Deciding what your next fitness conference is going to be can be one of two things: incredibly overwhelming or random. There are so many educational opportunities available both online and offline that it's mindboggling. Though you may decide online is it so you can skip logistics, travel and the additional time onsite education takes, there's a missing component for personal trainers gathering information that way. The interaction and networking of an onsite even provides a motivation and energy that no online program can regardless of how good. If you agree with that, there's still much to consider about the reason you're going and the kind of conference you're going to attend. Do you need marketing and sales training? Do you need a depth of information in a specific programming area to set you apart as a credible expert? This episode is all about a conference that is the latter. If medical fitness is your area your next fitness conference should be for and about medical fitness. We know the world is aging and the number of 50 and over clients is increasing. They're educated, experienced, and they're looking for trainers who are the same. In this episode I share highlights of the recent medical fitness tour – a special in depth fitness conference for those fitness professionals who want to serve those between medicine and standard fitness prescriptions that no longer fit. My guest Tony Berlant is a consultant, a published researcher, an author coach, and a veteran of the health and fitness industry with more than 20 years of leadership experience. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in Psychology, and his Master of Science degree in Exercise and Movement Science (focusing on Exercise and Sport Psychology) from University of Oregon. He has served as a certified personal trainer (NASM-CPT), a multi-club regional fitness manager, and a corporate-level Director for some of the most well-known companies in the industry. He is currently acting as the Director of Education and Programs for the Medical Fitness Education Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to developing and delivering education and practical application for fitness professionals and other allied healthcare practitioners in the areas of chronic disease and other medical conditions. He consults for the organization, assists in the production conferences called the Medical Fitness Tour, and is involved in all areas of operations. Questions we discussed in this episode: How did your career with the Medical Fitness Education Foundation begin? What is Medfit's mission? How is Medfit's mission important to you? New projects include Medfit TV, webinars, and the Tour- when was the tour "born?" What makes the MedFit Tour a different kind of fitness conferece? What cities are on the Tour? Phoenix New Jersey San Francisco Chicago (in conjunction with Club Industry) What's the presenter and topic selection process for Medfit events? Our virtual fitness conference recap Tony and I did a recount of the recent Medfit Tour in San Francisco and talk about highlights of topics and speakers offering medical fitness education during the 3-day event including: Phil Kaplan We have a broken, “I am…” ~Phil Kaplan Andrea Leonard Dr. Joel Fuhrman “Exercise is the only way to speed metabolism without accelerating aging.” ~Dr. Joel Fuhrman Dr. Tonya Butler, (Functional Biomechanics in Special Populations) TriggerPoint Performance Therapy Dr. Evan Osar, Co-founder, The Institute for Integrative Health and Fitness Education “Every single medication has side effects.” ~Dr. Evan Osar Dr. Kevin Steele, President PTonthenet, and PTAglobal Dr. Jessica Knurick, Toolbox Genomics (DNA Testing) Danielle Spangler, Founder of Coremoms Dr. Christian Thompson, Dept. of Kinesiology, U of SF Is this your next fitness conference?
