The Revolution is Coming: Personal Trainers, Education, & the World We Will Create

Hi there, hope you are doing great!

I just watched this video & I had to repost & blog about it, it really inspired me.

Personal Trainers Are Solutionairies

I know, its a weird word, but the best personal trainers don't just count reps, we educate our clients to take control of their body & health.  We provide REAL solutions to their problems of being overweight, unhealthy, and unfulfilled. We provide real solutions, not just dealing with the symptoms, and empower people to take control over their health and fitness by giving them a good working knowledge of their body, food, exercise, and the lifestyle choices that effect all of the above. With so many massive multi-billion dollar industries dedicated to just dealing with the superficial, the symptoms and not the cures, the quick fixes & bandaids, and profiting from misinformation, elite personal trainers and the exercise and fitness industries provide a truly important role in creating revolutionary solutions.

Even the "Good Guys" Are Part of the Problem

  We are a nation of over fed, under nourished, sedentary people, and the institutions we've created to help us survive and thrive are often part of the problem! Just watch this video, about how some institutions that should have the people's best interests at heart  had their lobbyists vetoed a bill that would have really made a difference in peoples health & fitness levels.  Why did these upstanding institutions do this?  Because they weren't going to get credit for the bill!

The World Becomes What You Teach

This is my saying in the first video, because it is incredibly powerful and true.  As fitness professionals, we have the power to teach, not just our clients or bootcampers, but entire communities, how to take care of themselves, eat well, and be fit and pain free.  Youth fitness & working with the education and schooling systems to make them more solution oriented will become a huge opportunity for elite fitness professionals. Isn't teaching kids how to feed themselves so they don't get disease or become obese by the time they are teenagers, and how to nourish and exercise their bodies, as important and as fundamental as teaching them math???
