RECESSION-PROOF YOUR COACHING PRACTICE
Inflation, gas prices, interest rates, recession…
None of us are immune to the economic climate around us, which is why it’s essential to take a proactive approach to building resilient coaching practice that will stand the test of time, regardless of what the world throws at you.
Over a 5 day webinar-series, we assessed the current state of the fitness industry and trends we’re observing in gyms right now, and shared time-tested principles of professional fitness coaching that are relevant now more than ever.

Where Are We? Today’s Economic Landscape & Coaching | Day 1
OPEX CEO Carl Hardwick kicked off the series by reviewing the current economic landscape, explaining why coaches should care, and providing advice on what to do in the face of a recession.
Be a Professional with Staying Power | Day 2
Next, Carl walked through the definition of a professional coach and considerations that will help you have staying power in the industry. Why? Because you’ve got to know your value and your purpose to have longevity as a coach.
Our definition of a Professional Fitness Coach:
A professional fitness coach is educated and experienced in delivering consistent success and results to their clients. Delivering unique value to each of their clients ensures a professional fitness coach earns a full-time wage, making it possible for coaching to be a full-time career. What’s more, professional coaches move the profession forward by teaching their coaches and clients how to be autonomous in and out of the gym.
Attracting Clients in a Recession | Day 3
OPEX CMO Kandace Hudspeth led our third call, offering 6 key sources to acquire new clients and how to get comfortable with marketing your services without feeling “salesy”.
