Sometimes though, a new workout idea doesn’t have to be complicated. Often it is about getting clients in a good frame of mind to work out.
That is certainly the case when it comes to PT Clare Backley and her client Amy Goacher from London. While her PT routine was undoubtedly helping Amy achieve her weight-loss goal, a lot of the credit has been given to Clare’s pooch Cesy.
The cavapoo’s presence at her sessions were enough to put Amy in the right frame of mind to train. Session by session and week by week, with the helping paws of Cesy, the 21-year-old was able to drop a whopping eight stone.
“Cesy would wag her tail and make me laugh, which put me at ease and helped me work out. She’d jump up and kiss me if I was tired, which gave me a quick rest but Clare would soon get me on my next exercises,” she told The Mirror.
“I look forward to my sessions more knowing Cesy is joining me. She knows we’re off to the park to train when I come in the door and is so happy to see me – that’s enough to brighten your mood.”
Depending on your clients, the approach you take will vary from day to day. And that’s the important thing to remember as a fitness professional, the need to be flexible is vital.
