Training Women Nardia Norman

[Brand, Leadership]
In this episode of the Training Women podcast, Nardia shares valuable insights on how personal trainers can build a recognisable and memorable brand. From recognising the value of their profession to seeing themselves as experts and leaders in the fitness industry, Nardia emphasises the need for concerted efforts over time to stand out from the competition.

As she says in the show, "What are you willing to do that others won't in order to be in the top 1% of Fit Pros?".
Even though there are more personal trainers and fitness coaches than ever, there is a significant need for high-quality fitness guidance, education, and information.
This episode provides actionable advice for fitness professionals looking to make a lasting impact and income.

In my early days of certifying Personal Trainers at various registered training organisations, I would always ask the students the following question:
"Should Personal Trainers hire their own Personal Trainer?"
This simple question always led to vigorous debate much to my amusement, so in this TW episode, Olivia and I unpack this and share our thoughts around this.

[Business]


My husband and I have worked from home for almost 7 years, and while I am accustomed to managing our spaces well, I've been yearning for another space.

A gym space to be precise. Over Project Undo I realised that I need to be around other humans; to have conversations with someone other than my husband and my coffee guy.

As much as I love training from my home gym, I had to get out of the house.

So I took advantage of a paid one-week trial at Legacy Through Movement, dusted off my workout shoes and headed in.

What I've experienced with them has been nothing short of awesome. In fact, they have done some basic things, exceptionally fkn well.

So well, I am compelled to share these with you, as both a reminder and a refresher of how you can be competitive in a market full of gyms and big box clubs.

Tune into this episode where I jam on 3 powerful topics:

1. Your unfair competitive advantage (that you probably take for granted)

2. Why competing on price is a race to the bottom (you don't win by being the cheapest)

3. The power of a paid trial (it's 2022 people, let's stop the free fkn trials already!)
Enjoy

The long-term consequences of Covid restrictions and all-around fkery are taking a toll on everyone, particularly Fitness Business owners and coaches.

I've witnessed, and heard, the stories from coaches who are feeling let down, unmotivated, tired and unsure because of ongoing client illnesses and financial changes. Leading to an uptick in client cancellations, no-shows, a decrease in membership growth and an intense mental burden.

If you resonate with this, then please know I SEE YOU.

I see your struggles, your doubt and the wobbles in your conviction.

Sure, it may all feel fken hard, and heavy right now, but let me assure you, this will pass.

I promise you.

In today's Training Women podcast episode, I share a love bomb from my heart to yours. Consider it a punchy little pop of cheerleading motivation coupled with some tough love strategy.

Enjoy.

Both Olivia and I have noticed a problem that's been popping up in the fitness industry, more so of late. And that is the issue of injecting women into workouts or training programs that include high-intensity interval training, or high-intensity resistance training, without a foundation of aerobic fitness.

We see it all the time. While the responsibility falls on the trainer, part of this can also be blamed on the way the fitness industry has set up expectations.

Many clients enter our training partnership with the preconceived idea that the trainer's (Gym) job is to make them sweaty, exhausted and feel 'as if they've done something hard'.

The trainer then feels pressure to meet this expectation out of fear of losing the client if they don't give them what they want and expect.

It's a vicious cycle that keeps both the client and trainer stuck in an inefficient (and potentially harmful) way of being. It's a lose-lose situation.

When a fitness professional keeps prescribing high-intensity activity without first establishing a solid foundation of movement and capacity, it limits the client's potential.

This is why both of us put a lot of attention on building a solid base of aerobic conditioning when building out programs (regardless of the goal).

Tune in to hear us talk about:

1. Why skipping aerobic conditioning is problematic

2. Our definition of aerobic conditioning

3. The big difference between developing fitness and just 'doing' fitness

4. How to build this into your programming

It's juicy so get ready to take notes!!

There's an unfathomable amount of free and readily available information on the interweb. If you want to learn about random obscure things, you can. If you want to become an expert in a field you can by watching YouTube videos; you can.

So then, why would someone pay you for something when it's free on the webs?

This commonly asked question came up in a recent workshop training that I delivered; 10k Idea - How To Turn Ideas Into Income + Impact. To give you context we were discussing price points of different types of information or experiential products.

I encouraged the students to explore their limiting beliefs around selling their knowledge and this one came up. It also came up as a genuine question.

Since this question is one that I'm regularly asked, I thought it would make for a great Training Women Podcast quick-y.

So here we are.

Although the length of this show is short (it's a 10 min lesson), it's extremely potent. Revolutionary in fact. I say this because I wholeheartedly believe in the power of the lesson I share in this.

When you grasp the gravity of what I'm saying it will change the way you package and sell everything.

I don't say this lightly.

If you're ready for this jelly, get at it.
