I never really understood the question but the question was “what is the culture of BLTraining”? I’ve struggled to have a clear mental picture of culture. I mean, some culture’s are easy to see the difference. But my business culture regarding my clients?
All of a sudden a few months later, the mental imagery came. I get it.
I heard myself saying to someone tonight, “but it’s our nature to want to learn and not just be fixed”. “Our” refers to my clients. I have clients that have been with me for five to seven years. I truly believe the reason they are with me is because they love to be educated and I love to educate.
Therefore, as I grow, they grow. When I learn new things or advance my knowledge about the body, they are there and ready for me to experiment! By remaining my client it’s as if they get reduced fees for allowing me to practice on them! Of course, when it comes to regular personal training, they are paying a pretty fair price for sessions…not the cheapest but not the most expensive. This means that they get a physiotherapist in training, so to speak, for the price of a personal trainer.
I’ve begun to answer the question “what is the culture of BLTraining” and at it’s core, we love to be educated about the body and how it moves. We focus on being mobile and agile. We continually work on maintaining or gaining strength for our daily activities and desires. We appear to be 10-20 years younger than our chronological age (no less than 5). We’d rather be strong than thin. We don’t lose weight, we lose bodyfat. We love variety. We love growing and creating new positive habits and we love making our everyday movement part of our exercise routine. We also don’t speak negative of our bodies and we will ALWAYS be there with a positive word for our fellow team mate.
I couldn’t be more excited to begin to fine tune this description of the culture of BLTraining! We are a like minded people and I couldn’t be more happy to be a part of their lives.
