What are some ways to get my clients to exercise?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Need some ideas to motivate your clients? Here are four great ways to do it.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Group events: <\/b>Working out with peers is always more motivating and fun. Organizing indoor or outdoor group workouts is a great way to motivate clients to get social and have fun exercising.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Social networking: <\/b>Similarly, getting clients online and talking with others about their daily workouts, progress, and even failures can help normalize the ups and downs of health and wellness and keep people motivated to be the best version of themselves that they can be. Having people who can relate to each other offers empathy and compassion in a peer group.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Progress tracking: <\/b>Diligently tracking your clients\u2019 progress can be motivating for them because they can look at their stats and see how far they\u2019ve come since they first started. Make sure to track weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly progress to see how far they\u2019ve come!<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Small rewards: <\/b>Small rewards like workout gear, free supplements, T-shirts, or gift cards can be helpful to get clients motivated. As an exercise specialist, you can create your own reward program.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Case studies: <\/b>Show your clients what\u2019s possible by creating case studies of previous clients who have accomplished their goals. Show your clients photos and statistics that clearly display progress and that encourage them to achieve their own goals.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
