What are the best ways to motivate my clients to focus on their health as a whole
– physical and emotional –when they are not with me?

Although it’s true that some
clients are able to motivate
themselves to stay on track with
their health and fitness even
when they are not physically
with you, there is another
subset of clients on the
opposite spectrum that may
need a boost of inspiration to
maintain their focus.

As the World Health
Organization clarifies,
“Health is a state of
complete physical,
mental and social well-
being and not merely
the absence of disease
or infirmity.”

In other words,
our clients’ health
depends on more than
just strong muscles
and not getting sick.

achieve small goals on their
fitness journey can really go a
long way towards establishing
those healthy habits that they’ll
keep when they aren’t with
you.

Keep in mind that the key
word here is “collaborate”.
Clients will be more likely to
stay motivated with newly
established habits and
routines when they are
working towards something
that they want, not something
imposed on them.

Wearable Fitness Trackers
Ever since wearable fitness
trackers have become popular
(Fitbit, Garmin, Jawbone,
etc.), I’ve noticed that some
clients truly enjoy using their
tracker to keep them
motivated to move.

You can even turn it into a
game and set mini “tracker
goals” that you and your
client collaborate on… such
as how many days can they
walk at least 10,000 steps or
climb a certain number of
stair flights.

Make it fun for your client
and make a big deal out of
any tracker goals they
accomplish, whether its
badges achieved or
something that you and
your client have
collaborated on.

Check in with them in
between sessions
It’s impossible to be with
your clients 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week.
Although even if it was
possible, it’s not really a
practical solution.

Send them a quick
message on a day when
you aren’t scheduled to
meet, especially if you
think they may need a
little pep talk, to see how
they’re doing.

Figuring out the best
motivational tactic will
depend on each individual
client and your relationship
with them. It may be a slow
process, along with a few
setbacks, but that’s okay.
