Trauma Informed Fitness is cutting edge, new research about the effects of strength training on the brain's ability to recover from emotional trauma. Understanding how you can support your client's journey through the fitness world in this way will set you apart and attract the people who need the benefits of exercise most.
KICKASS LIFE PROJECT
THE NUTSHELL VERSION
UNDERSTAND THE THING YOUR CLIENT NEEDS MOST BEFORE THEY KNOW THEY NEED IT
I pinky swear promise that if you work with humans, you work with trauma... only most times, you won't know it until it's too late.
Clients will rarely tell you the real reason they are 'quitting' fitness because a lot of the time, they can't quite put it into words...it's just how exercise and our traditional fitness world make them feel.
Trauma impacts our brain and nervous system in ways that most people have never been taught, and those impacts affects our client's ability to fully engage with their body. What if you understood how to help a client feel safe not just in the gym, but in their own body? If you can give them that gift, you've got raving fans for life.
