Navigating Lifestyle Change With Wellness Coaching helps fitness professionals understand the value of looking at a client’s holistic wellness needs rather than just their exercise and training programs. Wellness habits cannot be taught during fitness coaching sessions, but lifestyle changes, nutrition and eating habits, supplement use, stress management, and sleep are all essential elements of a client’s total well-being that should be addressed. Presenter Irene McCormick will show you how to move beyond fitness coaching and integrate wellness coaching to provide better long-term potential outcomes for your clients. You’ll understand how to use the four Rs of recovery—replace, restore, replenish, and rest—and address the FITT principle to promote smarter fitness practices. You’ll learn to differentiate between objective and subjective data and to appropriately use both data types for optimal outcomes. You’ll come away with new information on how to provide more support for your clients and open up a potential new revenue stream as a fitness professional.
