🎯 TEACHING TUESDAY: IS YOUR CUE CONFUSING YOUR CLIENTS?

“Engage your core!”
“Knees out!”
“Breathe!”

Sound familiar? 😂

We say these things ALL THE TIME as fitness professionals. But here's a question worth asking…

Does your client actually understand what you're asking them to DO?

Sometimes a small change in how we communicate can make a BIG difference!

💡 THE COACHING NUGGET:

Be specific. Be actionable. And remember that the best cue is the one that helps YOUR client understand the movement.

Research on attentional focus also suggests that directing attention toward a movement's effect can improve performance and motor learning.

But there's no one-size-fits-all cue. Context matters!

💪 FITNESS PROS: ARE WE ASKING THE WRONG QUESTION ABOUT STRENGTH TRAINING WOMEN?

Heavy weights or light weights? Low reps or high reps? Train to failure or stop before exhaustion?

The conversation around strength training is evolving, and there's something important we shouldn't overlook…

THE CLIENT! 👏

In a new article, SCW Founder Sara Kooperman explores NASM's recent discussion about strength training for women alongside ACSM's updated resistance training recommendations.

And here's the takeaway every fitness professional should hear:

💗 Challenging weights can help women build strength and confidence.

💗 Lighter resistance and higher repetitions can also be valuable.

💗 Training to complete muscular failure isn't necessary to see benefits.

💗 For older adults, maintaining strength and independence can be an incredible accomplishment.

💗 Progress isn't always about lifting MORE. Sometimes it's about moving BETTER, feeling STRONGER, and building CONFIDENCE.

The best training program isn't necessarily the one with the heaviest weights or the most repetitions.

It's the one that fits the person, supports their goals, and keeps them coming back.

As fitness professionals, our job isn't to fit every client into one formula. It's to help every client discover what they're capable of!

👉 Read it here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/acsm-vs-nasm-training-women-put-client-first-sara-kooperman-aat0e

💬 LET'S TALK! Do you find yourself encouraging clients to lift heavier, or helping them build confidence with lighter weights first?

We'd love to hear your approach!

😂❤️ WHO DOESN’T LOVE ANN GILBERT?!

💡 SUNDAY COACHING NUGGET: IT’S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT THE DESTINATION!

Sometimes the MAGIC is in the movement that gets you there!

Check out this Pilates moment from one of our SCW MANIA® conferences!

Rocking, rolling, finding balance, and working toward that seated position. It might look playful, but there’s a wonderful coaching lesson here!

🧠 THE NUGGET:

As fitness professionals, we sometimes focus so much on the finished exercise that we forget to celebrate the PROCESS.

In Pilates, it’s not just about sitting up.

It’s about body awareness, coordination, core engagement, and learning to move with intention rather than relying entirely on momentum.

And here’s something to bring into your next class:

✨ Encourage progress, not perfection.

✨ Give your participants permission to explore a movement.

✨ Celebrate control and quality over how many repetitions they complete.

✨ Remember that a modification isn’t a step backward. It’s another way to move forward!

Because GREAT instructors don’t just teach exercises.

They teach people how to understand and connect with their bodies. ❤️

🎥 Watch this little Pilates moment and tell us…
