"The book with an interesting and honest look at starting a career as a personal trainer, and gaining confidence by developing skills and characteristics you are already possess to ensure your success as a fitness professional."
A book by John Izzo, NASM-CPT, PES
Every year people look for a new career that will give them a feeling of satisfaction and financial stability. A career where the time spent is used teaching and helping others; where the feeling of self worth is experienced on a daily basis through feats of strength, achievement, and goal attainment. It is no wonder that every year thousands become fitness professionals to fulfill a passion of helping others through exercise.
However, once entered into the field many are taken back by the diverse challenges that are met working with sedentary and at-risk clients. Personal training involves building relationships with people, learning to cope with successes and failures, and being the "rock" in some clients' lives. Some that enter the field welcome these responsiblities...however, some our unprepared for these simple challenges. Until now:
Secret Skills of Personal Training examines the necessary traits that will help propel your career as a fitness professional into an enjoyable and rewarding lifestyle. You will learn how to develop these skills and learn how to cope with clients through coaching and empathy. You will never view personal training as a job!
Written by a fitness professional for aspiring personal trainers and fitness instructors, you will learn the key teaching anchors needed to help change a client's mindset; learn how to "ease' into the fitness industry and gain valuable experience; and learn exactly what it takes to become a successful personal trainer. Don't be mistaken...this book is not about making millions and putting your business on "auto-pilot". This is a book on what it will take from someone aspiring to become a personal trainer to enjoy and achieve longevity in the field.
About Secret Skills of Personal Training Book:
Review:
"The first thing I have to say is that I have never read or seen a book like this that covers the topics John does. So if they are out there, they aren't very good. John touches on a lot of areas that I haven't seen covered in any other fitness education materials, and I have read a lot of them. While he does mention that it isn't a sales book he does cover a lot of what is necessary to truly sell, not closing techniques and marketing advice, but how to be empathetic and learn what a client really wants. He does a great job of outlining the most ignored portion of personal training, the Personal part. Most people decide to get into fitness because they love fitness, not because they love people.
There is a huge difference and John does a great job explaining this and elaborating about necessary traits. The book is worth the cost for his "Instruct, Inspire, Integrate" model. It's just a brilliant concept that should be emphasized much more than it is. The best part of the book is that it not only gives a lot of great tips, but it helps you plan for how to get started. From just starting a career in fitness, to gaining clients, to keeping old ones while still getting new ones John covers it all. This product is defiantly a great buy for anyone who is thinking about a career in fitness. Even with a couple years experience under my belt and having read plenty of fitness education materials I picked up a lot from the book and am very glad I got a chance to read it. If you are the type of trainer who is looking at you schedule wishing you had more clients or wondering why your clients never stay, this book is for you. If you are in another field but thinking of making the switch to fitness, this book is for you."
