Hey Ryan,

Business is coming along nicely, made more than I expected to so far which is great, this thread is proving to be really handy!

I've got a couple of questions - how do you handle...

Go for the cheapest option you can find, did mine with beabetteryou for £899. The ones charging £3k for PT courses are ripping people off as the content in the course is very basic and your clients...

Make sure members (both current and incoming) are aware of your free sessions. Use the free sessions to really show your knowledge and training style, if you do it right in the free session you...

More than likely just water retention, monitor your weight over the next few weeks and if you continue to lose weight then it's nothing to worry about.

I don't think you can get into trouble until the above issue arises, there's no law to say you can't instruct, the qualifications are mostly for insurance purposes and so people feel safer knowing...

You need to get comfortable with tracking food in some form be it macros or portions so that you have something measurable to adjust, what the food is doesn't matter as much as knowing what's in it...

There's no laws to say you can't do this but if someone hurts themselves in some form or manner from the advice you give you'll be up **** creek as they'll have every right to sue you from what I...

Add a little bit of oil to shakes, this quickly adds up to more calories and you can't taste it.

Quickly absorbed carbs like jasmine rice also make it a bit easier to eat more. If you struggle to...

15-20% range but it's hard to tell from pics without a bit more mass. There's plenty of room for newbie gains though so I would agree with the advice above of just lift and eat consistently and see...

Yeah many people do a mild form of IF (with or without intention) anyway because it simply fits their routine better. I normally hit 3 meals+a shake/protein snack of some kind.

Can relate to this myself somewhat, got a great education behind me and fine with 1on1's but not great or too comfortable at all with the approaching and small talk side of things. The advice above...

Got a few quick ones! Really helpful thread so far in shaping my business ^_^.

Done a few shifts on the gym floor now and the thing that I'm not sure on is how to cold approach people and start...

16/8 and 30-36 for the day after a cheat day (srs cheat day madness happens here)

@Mrpb

I somewhat agree that the research is lacking in athletic populations, pretty much the case with many...

I did a few months of coaching with John Romaniello before starting my PT business. The money invested in this was worth it for the knowledge I gained on how to work with clients and run the online...

There's several problems with looking purely at research for the merits of IF.

1) There's so many different forms of IF that no study design is the same
2) Finding lean subjects for studies is...

If you want to get lean then imo the nutrient partitioning benefits of having good insulin sensitivity are important. It's very difficult to lose stubborn bodyfat if you're insulin is even mildly...

Here's a few things you may want to try that can bring up levels -

Make sure you have a vitamin d3 supp (5000iu/d, 10000iu/d for the first month if you haven't taken any for a while/don't spend...

Look into IF and run lower carbs/cals on days you don't train with weights. I wouldn't say low carb is required at all to cut but it will improve insulin sensitivity which makes everything work...

Things are coming along nicely, got a few clients starting this month (one interestingly came from IG) and finished up my PT qual+degree and starting work in the gym tomorrow. 10 days out from my...

This, small gradual changes are needed. Putting someone on IIFYM when they don't yet fully understand macros or how to utilise them is not going to work. A few months down the line they'll likely be...
