Total Health and Fitness Coaching – Accountability
is key when it comes to reaching your fitness goals. Source4
has developed a program which will allow you to meet with your
own personal FitPro twice a month and have your nutrition and
exercise program reviewed as well as tracking your success. Each
session will include a reevaluation of your program, suggestions
for enhancing your program, monitoring of your nutrition program,
articles and education to help you reach your fitness goals.
Your coach will also be available for questions and via email.
This will allow the member to meet 2 times per Month with the
coach and just discuss the nutrition plan and weigh in with the
FitPro.
Each FitPro Coaching Session will last between 20-30 minutes
and will cover topics such as:
- Weigh-ins or measurements
- Nutrition Program consultation
- Go over Exercise Program
- Supplements consultation
- Lifestyle issues
There are many Wellness
Coaches that are nutritionists and personal trainers, however
not all trainers and nutritionists are Wellness Coaches (and
vice versa). The biggest difference is the approach that is taken
towards achieving goals. A personal trainer is typically hired
to provide guidance, motivation, education, hands on support
and to tell you how to achieve your goals. This support is very
appropriate in many cases. A nutritionist has a similar function,
they are trained to provide information, guidance and design
a recipe for success when someone has very specific dietary needs
and goals. Again, they serve a fantastic role in supporting their
clients through the questions they have.
A Wellness Coach takes a much different approach when working
with clients. Fundamentally a coach assumes that you have your
own answers. Certainly there are opportunities for education
and sharing information when appropriate (and this information
should be shared only in the coaches areas of expertise), however
the focus of a wellness coach is one of empowering the client
to clearly see for themselves the most appropriate path forward
such that they can make sustainable, long term lifestyle changes.
This is much different than telling them what they need to do
today. It involves discussing goals, a vision, and designing
a plan together.
A wellness coach will ask empowering questions to the client
that re-enforce their compelling reasons to make healthy lifestyle
decisions rather than telling them the reason why they should
make change. A coach will provide tools for motivation, goal
setting, self discovery and embrace the fact that no two clients
will need to have the same approach in making lifestyle change.
As you can see the quality and depth of conversation that a
wellness coach and a trainer will be very different.
