Some time ago I had an Athlete Check-In with a member. This member had for a period found it difficult to prioritise herself and her own training and we put a lot of energy into that. It is always the individual’s RESPONSIBILITY to get to the training and realise that it is actually important, however we would like to help in any way we can. Having someone HOLD ONE ACCOUNTABLE is often a really good solution.
Our deal was that she would workout in the morning sessions, which she loves, 2-3 times a week and every time she did it, she would write to me on Messenger. Not particularly difficult and not directly rocket research, but just the very thing that she “reported” to me and that I could praise her a little REALLY increased the probability that the training would be completed. When this had been going on for three weeks, the good habit had once again been established😊
Actually putting your foot down and “showing up” is the important step you must take. When that’s done, we take care of the rest for you, we plan the training, we tell you how it can be carried out and how it should feel, and then we coach you through the session, simple right?
