Training the Trainer

After years of subbing for instructors, mentoring junior trainers, and developing exercises that ended up in trainings across the country — coaching the next coach has become part of what I do.

What it is

One-on-one mentorship for working personal trainers who want to take their assessment, programming, and client outcomes to a higher level. It's not a certification — it's the part nobody teaches you in one.

Who it's for

Trainers with at least a year on the floor who:

• are running into clients whose limitations they can't quite read
• have hit the ceiling of their certification's programming framework
• want to deepen their work with rehabilitative, postural, or older populations
• are building toward specialty offerings of their own

What we cover

• Movement assessment — what to look for, what it actually tells you, what to do about it
• Programming for the client in front of you, not the protocol in your head
• Cueing — the language and body work that translates intention into execution
• Working alongside PTs, chiropractors, and movement professionals without stepping on toes
• Building a client experience that earns referrals instead of chasing them

Format

Sessions are typically a mix of in-person work — observing your training sessions and debriefing afterward — and remote video reviews of client work between sessions. Cadence varies by trainer; most settle into something like every other week.

This isn't a course. It's an ongoing professional relationship, with a beginning and a clear set of outcomes, but no fixed end date. You stop when the work you came to do is done.
