Giving me an opportunity to learn is one of the greatest gifts I receive. I cherish this chance every hour every day, because I only keep learning if keep practicing. I make a better teacher if I get more experience no matter how long I have been doing it already.
Anyone who stands still becomes stagnant, has an arrogant attitude thinking it’s all about them, when in fact is all about the teacher and member’s relationship, and the results that come through that.
You have to be open to being taught, and i, as a teacher has to be resourceful enough to see a way out of any temporary problem/injury.
Learning is a two way street for both of us and patience has to be at the heart of everything. I don’t often see anyone who can balance on one leg first time, but with practice they always can.
Some learn quick, some learn slow but it’s the one that sticks at it that eventually becomes the champion of any movement or programme.
I can tell those who are really good condition by their response to each workout. If you are stiff for a few days after a brand new workout, that’s normal because it’s a shock to your body.
If you are stiff for a week after a workout you know, then you need to come more often because chances are you are missing a lot of sessions, and you may be hiding from what is truly best for you.
Every athlete I have every trained knows the value of doing our workout one and two. If you aren’t strong with dumbbells/bars/cables for example, then your performance suffers in ANY sport.
If you have a weak core, then chances are you suffer often with minor niggles leading to bigger problems in the future.
The programmes I come up with are based on experience and what will work for you best, and each programme has a perfect balance (i try my best anyway).
I know every teacher at the gym works hard at their programmes and they invest A LOT of time coming up with great programmes, it’s much harder than it looks and you have to think on your feet too.
Please keep allowing us the time to teach you to the very best our our ability, and allowing us to becoming better coaches every day. We are paranoid about getting better, and making you better athletes, and injury/pain free in ALL areas.
