What is a Fitness Coach?
people are coached : animals are trained
Fitness Coaching evolves past other training fields capacities. Fitness Coaching internally inspires the heart and mind of a person; the passing of knowledge from one to another. Coaching reaches new levels within the reasoning centers of the brain to gain and sustain newfound working fitness wisdom. You will acquire and retain new skills and find your fitness-esteem, learn about persistence in your health and the true-grit necessary to stay organized, structured, and be able to deduce and measure your results, while having a blast getting fit! Behaviors are modified and conscious memories are permanently imprinted. Coaching inspires and uplifts people to strive past their limited expectations and reach and achieve true health and awareness in being well. Once coaching begins - then the practice and training commence. Coach and client design and implement customized blueprints with specific goals and objectives in mind and heart while creating a new story of health and wellness.
Get fit for the journey™ with Fitness Coach Dan.
Just being Trained skips important steps, important as it is. Cats, dogs, chimps, birds and other animals are merely trained. Animals are given stimulus response triggers to jump through a hoop and carry out menial tasks through mimicry. They have no long term retention and behavior is not consciously retained.
