Sometimes it can feel like you’ve got to be a social media influencer to have a great career as a fitness coach. But the truth is that you don’t need a million followers or TikTok dances to grow the coaching business of your dreams.

We know that there’s a better, more authentic way to pursue professional fitness coaching because we’ve helped thousands of coaches around the world do so. And at the heart of coaching success is delivering every client you work with an exceptional, high-value coaching service.

a letter from your mentor
As a fitness coach, your value is determined by the things you uniquely provide. More specifically, what the market perceives that you uniquely provide.
Does being a master program designer make you stand out in the market? I ask this question to all new coaches joining CCP.
The answer?
No.
While many coaches think that yes, program design is their competitive advantage, this is our bias.
The reality is that most people don’t know the difference between a Peloton workout and your expertly-crafted personalized workout.
And it’s not just standing out from other coaches that you have to worry about. The truth is that AI and technology are already able to put together training programs better than 90% of coaches. (I asked chatGPT to write me a 5k row program and it was surprisingly good.)
So where does that leave the coach’s value?
The coach that can’t provide anything more than a training program is obsolete right now.
But there is an opportunity to define your value beyond program design. Along with writing principle-based programs, you need to lean into:
- True personalization. Use program design as an opportunity to teach your clients, at their level, why they’re doing what they’re doing. Explain how the program connects to their assessment capabilities, goals, and priorities by sharing your thoughts behind the design and build autonomy.
- Human to human connection and great communication, making every client feel important and valued by overdelivering here.
- Your system, not only for efficiency but also for its effectiveness. Yes, tech has systems, but it doesn’t always know whether they are good or not. You do know whether or not your systems actually get your clients sustainable, long-term results and you can showcase these results through great testimonials.
In the OPEX Coaching Certificate Program (CCP) I will teach you how to write great programs and a system to do so.
But even more importantly, you’ll learn how to define your value beyond just writing workouts, so you can stand out as a fitness professional with staying power in the industry.
I believe in the power of fitness coaches and the value you provide to every individual you work with. But we can’t remain stagnant and we must be willing to innovate and grow.
As CCP coaches, together we continue to push the envelope of professional fitness coaching, raising the standard to provide our clients with the exceptional service and the results they deserve.
Each week I meet with my mentorship group of CCP coaches for a live lecture, discussion, and program design practice. At the end of this learning process, I ask each student to “do”, working through real life coaching case studies which I then take great care in reviewing and providing feedback. It’s through this process that I can proudly say our coaches are leaders in the industry.
If you’re willing to take on the responsibility to share the depth of knowledge, professionalism of coaching experience, focus on the long game, and level of care for the coach/client relationship that define the OPEX Coach, then let’s get started.
Onwards,
