A LETTER FROM OPEX CEO

As a fitness coach, your value is determined by the things you uniquely provide. More specifically, what the market perceives that you uniquely provide. 

Does being a master program designer make you stand out in the market? I ask all new coaches joining CCP this question. The answer?  No. 

While many coaches think that, yes, program design is their competitive advantage, this is our bias.

The reality is that most people don’t know the difference between a Peloton workout and your expertly-crafted personalized workout.

And it’s not just standing out from other coaches that you have to worry about. The truth is that AI and technology are already able to put together training programs better than 90% of coaches. (I asked chatGPT to write me a 5k row program, and it was surprisingly good.)

So where does that leave the coach’s value? The coach that can’t provide anything more than a training program is obsolete right now.

But there is an opportunity to define your value beyond program design. Along with writing principle-based programs, you need to lean into:

  • - True personalization. Use program design as an opportunity to teach your clients, at their level, why they’re doing what they’re doing. Explain how the program connects to its assessment capabilities, goals, and priorities by sharing your thoughts behind the design and building autonomy.

  • - Human-to-human connection and great communication make every client feel important and valued by overdelivering here.

  • - Your system, not only for efficiency but also for its effectiveness. Yes, tech has systems, but it doesn’t always know whether they are good or not. You do know whether or not your systems actually get your clients sustainable, long-term results, and you can showcase these results through great testimonials. 

In the OPEX Coaching Certificate Program (CCP), we will teach you how to write great programs and a system to do so. 

But even more importantly, you’ll learn how to define your value beyond just writing workouts so you can stand out as a fitness professional with staying power in the industry.

I believe in the power of fitness coaches and the value they provide to every individual you work with. But we can’t remain stagnant and must be willing to innovate and grow. 

As CCP coaches, we continue to push the envelope of professional fitness coaching, raising the standard to provide our clients with the exceptional service and results they deserve.

Onward,

Carl Hardwick Signature
