You're listening to the Ricky Long podcast watching Ricky follower. Unfollow Ricky. I go to coached by Don and follow me instead. Hi Kev do that. Hi, Steph unfollow Reiki and follow me. Hey, Ricky. I just thought we were just having a chat with you realize she was Tama ho fantastic you are and just yeah, let's suppose now it come January again. Everyone can have a few I feel illogical illogical as clients now. Oh this who have kind of that. I know them from the gym, they'll do classes. I've got a lot from classes obviously advertising PT more after class like on whiteboards that kinda way the kind of the kind of no, they don't the other general idea of how it all works. But then there's this the smaller things like you're like they all day love classes at all and decent shape with like they were comes to like a machine or a waiter a squatter pull up the kind of like what the fuck is this isn't the class like? Yeah. Well that's factual. This is this isn't a class like oh, well, this is a problem but understand the class like yeah. Classes have enough. It was like why we do this like it's on the class like well, that's why you're here to get out of the Class Clown think they're going to be late. Like I want to be stronger but a minimal so kind of get them out of that as someone but one big day, I suppose it read all about that. There is a guy have a good for you. I think about four or five clients aren't we didn't new ones in January who have company from kind of circuit based classes who just turned like I want to get stronger, but I am doing the class like that's fair enough going to a class. You're not gonna get strong. That's just like in red. Of to of the Building Trades in terms of like having a bigger having more kilos on a bench press or pull up her squats. I can't wait to get Jelly Bean a stronger person. They facing what that was a vehicle won't be able to do through class, but I guess to TT and see what happens. So as far as the kind of it's almost like rewarding people that make sense like yes classes. They have their dad their benefits class. I want to go Bush, you know away test in the gym and a half an hour circle after me to complete different things that you'll be go. So it's almost like trying to rewire them out of that. Okay you the thing you want you won't get from this class. But what you want to come from, you know resist ready for you as a week watching our nutrition watching your sleep backing away and it's kind of lonely and like rewiring them to kind of think in a completely different way than the kind of used to which it's just a hard thing to do but there again like as we go along with that kind of kind of clicked on enjoy your third kind of understand each other like the things like execution like Tempo like like just XO selection how we place things top sets back.

So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna grab a tripod to put my photo up with. All right, y'all ready keep your tripod beside my desk. All right. I keep it over my shoulder Seth. Play this here. So everyone can see but I don't listen to myself there. Let's put you over here. So you don't see the mess in my room. Let's move that place because Eileen food. What are you here and Wilson? I am really Fitness. There we go. Boom. Do you find like I was in the gym this morning and there's a fellow always talk to we're first names basis some you know, but often were just opted for the Met. Yeah, and I said to him I was really really hungry and I couldn't wait for breakfast and he asked me what the I typically have for breakfast and because I know he knows what I do for a Livin felt under pressure there have this big wonderful answer and they just looked at a mantra that I don't normally have breakfast time cause I'm hungry too and we'll for a frail and that's exactly what happened to right. You gotta own it. Yeah everyone off for people to we look for eyes. We love bad stuff. He's got a shell accept that so here's a reason why you're on I just thought it would be fun to be a very very impromptu podcast. No religion. That just let it go off and a couple of different directions and you've been on the podcast. We're on our I want to say about six months ago about six months a year. I say that and so just an update for you. So tell everyone who you are and where you're from who I know from so, my name is Daenerys. I'm 21 years old. I'll be 20 to next month. Even I am a personal trainer and an online coach and personal trainer in Westwood Club in leprosy and that's in Dublin Ireland and I'm an online coach I Ramon Business Online called coached by Dan going to plug my exam right now. I swear Acres just coach by down so easier than there and yeah I have Online or my computer over the phone to lose body fat build muscle get stronger overall is be a happier healthier. You will be yeah that's in 60 seconds. That's that's me. That's my business is what I do. Yeah, I like it short and concise. Well, what have you been up to since then has been any big changes because remember when you're wrong before you were obviously, I know you're making a transition in your business. You were trying to a few different little systems as such so what's What does your business look like now compared to six months ago? So prepared six months ago. It is relatively similar. There's a lot busier. So kind of the seams of the Motown you about kind of put me in play worked. I didn't sense that. I didn't want it to change the start of how I coached how I peed how did everything online but more so just you know, keep doing I'm doing but allow ourselves to reach a bigger audience which in turn has allowed me to do so. In terms of like one-to-one online Ultima Online first kind of my violin baby coach Bela has again. It's just taken on fucking life of its own like in terms of like in terms of reach that kind of way. Like, it's just my client point of view. Like that's just gone through the roof. I get a lot more kind of one big deal trying to push back when I was told you last was kind of held a kind of interact with people more social media had to kind of just get more people kind of coming to me as their go-to and then from there I'll see that kind of leads on to more. Flies like an away so that systems and things I put into place to allow that to happen, you know went as accordingly and I just led to know being a much much busier much more efficiently Run online business. So yeah, I'll going in the right direction. You said there are a bite that social media and engagement. Are you finding social media right now? I mean I'm but I'm loving it to be honest. It's just kind of like again one big thing. I've tried. Set myself this year was to be more like creto consumed as in because I spend way too much fucking time on Instagram and on YouTube that kind of way and I was like, you know what I can interface with I can way I was like, you know spending way too much time and it's in there. So I'm like that's just for me to focus again because like the hours that I spend just grown mostly through Instagram Canada's replace replace with creating content for Instagram or is doing actual work and I was like, you know, what if I took time away from just watching Instagram and was consuming at all. Kansai created you'll be a lot more productive. So I started doing that a lot more. So my feelings towards is all the same. It's obvious. I'll change you'll be like take talking about very big thing, which I'm yet to really get on. Well, yeah, my feelings towards me. It's the exact same as it was. It's mainly who you know to kind of show highlight my client side my business highlight what I have to offer then returned. Hopefully just get them out of it. Yeah, since we last spoke obviously picked up was kind of common up. I kind of want to say around and we are talking last it's kind of a in the air like Bill Cosby thing. Could it not be a simple kind of still play around this point now where it's like chaos to say if you're not out of here than it is to me. Yeah. I'm not loving Tech talk right now. I've kind of had to go on on Ivan presence photo just like I'm not sure I could be bothered with us. I don't really enjoy it at the start of I've made the commitment that's on the Whiteboard behind me. I'll poach them Tech talk, you know. Yeah the week where I'm just kind of there. Yeah, but I'm fine with social media. I've had this conversation with a few people. Look the algorithms are really really pissed me off and Instagram and hoy Yeah, it's just your post the Sue suffocated like they reckon less than 1% of the following will see your post not yeah, because everybody's following so many people so may for example according to my Instagram. I'm following 2,700 people. Yeah, you post something on Instagram you're fighting what seven thousand six hundred ninety nine other people for my attention. Yeah, like that's it. I remember like I remember Like very vividly back in the day like Instagram my hands around was like I had like I have eighteen hundred followers now back when I kind of started that my like my Peak like getting most likes most followers. I can away from most liked anyway, I would bring it about 150 200 likes per post without even like making up a like a making a mass of Everett Dragon away. Whereas now if I make a good post, it'll maybe get like a good post like they posted one do other Say that's quite well, it was the it was the one that was video for me was like a video of me and the other side was like a some it's actually funny enough. It's actually I think I'm Tick-Tock. It's like some family freaking out over something online and it's me being all like head actually is body fat. Maybe you'd like to fucking burn more calories than you eat like that did very well that got like 70 or 80 likes and that we like a good post. There is back in the day if I had gotten this time here and I feel like I'm said, he likes the post by because of the bad post joke anyway, so like my following has Since then more than doubled since then but the likes and the interactions I can always just gone right in the last year a big page like a big big page. You're just kind of again. You're very small fish in a very very big pond. I ran something I was not on something that Gary Vee shirts or thing come from Gerry Weber or something t-shirt and the reckon that most people know I on Instagram have two accounts. Yeah, so so it makes that space even smaller. So if there's 10 million people on Instagram, I'm sure there's more than I don't actually have that figure of the talking head. They reckon at least there are at least sixteen Seventeen million accounts. Yeah. I got like that actually killed maybe you'll lose accounts or posting once or twice or three times per day. So the space is just getting smaller and smaller and smaller. Geez. Yeah, they think that way The root of my own instrument whether it's from Friendly Fire is ready fire. Oh God deactivate surroundings right now. I'm so jealous. Our last time was speaking to you. You were just you're just a normal boy. No, you're a model. Yes. I will not even mention that. Last year, so then about two to three months ago. We were just down back and forth its quality and he was like, yeah. like Hello, it's what's going on here. So we chatted away that company but like all I'd be praying to that kind of way. So and before I knew it I was signed up as an athlete. So like it's kind of it's a small of think it's it's it's like they're growing because I know it's actually it's a common enough that he died comes from chatting to him and what he's been doing the last few as you all say it like I feel like 2020 will be quite big with it. Like it's mainly just loud together like hoodies and t-shirts but there's a women's line launching in I want to say The end of the end of March start of April, I believe. If we brought your phone to new female athletes scrawny give some and Katrina Carolyn, I think groans - whoo - screaming. I'm okay. So hyah, groaning. She's not she's not my strength just stream. That'll be that'll be fucking weird. She's into the room and she came saying so you can see leave now if you want. Yeah, but yeah, but yeah, no is that like it's a copy of that like I got like I've ever I would I'm very like open it. It's Graham and how I would never ever ever touch a product and I was like in any way if you have it, but I got this one here first. I think the first thing they got a brought out Tipperary. Sorry Grand isn't streamers into very I was or how I said tip, but I didn't finish off the temporary. I was right. Anyway after the back-to-back Beyond I always had ideas about my never ever ever. Remote a brand that I thought was an anyway kind of slowly if he so like just from that. I like I got the hoodie. I got nobody. I bought a paid for money for hardly notice kind of mind-body myself another job. There's actually is absolutely insane. He's a kid like the sizing fantastic the fifth grade higher in the Iron Throne the chest piece around the waist fantastic makes it look huge. But obviously what you want a hoodie the teacher to get away and then he sent me after that the rest on there and yeah, so It was a grad a break Beyond hoodie t-shirt or they don't then the line was to grab a pair of leggings something the female range. He's done 15. I check out there only a 50% off an order. So it's going to help you all out there anyone that is so anyone. Listen to this. Does it go outside of Ireland? Yeah National. Yeah Yes, actually what am I was in Canada there back in August, but may and August and then one of the girls over there my friends friend of mine Hayes client without a visit a friend his client saw that I was working with Them in order when I met him was like this is going to Canada healed. Yeah, absolutely. Don't see why not. So yeah, it's National was everywhere. So whenever you are here Canada, UK China Russia where we are gives a show on that. It's one of my core values about the whole shop local thing. I mean in my opinion is much better to buy off the shop down the street and online from the name brands. I think it's a really really good because then I just didn't realize they were International. What did you say the code word? As for anyone listening can get Disco Dan 50s rdan and then 1/5 down 15 the a 50% off whenever you're somehow it is make a note of that dude. What a loaded for you tonight. It's a nights. I just got back from work. I applied to classes on Warden. I have a few check-ins to you now if this yeah drone use just been typing. On the street and run your Friday absolutely absolutely flipping. I can't but you can I spawned out the teeth don't use those codes. Hold on just doesn't work dun-dun-dun. You step down doesn't work. So you're back to so you just done life PT sessions and you're just gonna have to finish my sessions there this morning go back at about three o'clock Debonair ago. I've few check-ins through for a lad online. After this call a little back into my for a few more sessions busy period tell us tell us as much as you can from a like a business to business point of view. How do you do check ins for people as an online? Coach has a lot a lot of pts. We'll listen to this. I'm probably assume a check-in as a certain way and I'm certain it's not the way most people assume it is. Yeah. So basically I am not sure if Because I changed how you check ins a while ago, but I'm not sure if I've been doing it that way since our last podcast because I'm not sure if I'm we talk about the same thing now, but back I potentially back with our last podcast. I was living I'd have a Google doc form. I said that after everyone and then they send it back to me and I'll be two days during the week days Monday and Tuesday where I was enough on Friday. They'll fill in at Center back on Saturday and Sunday. And then Monday I'll do half of them choose of the second half and I'll be upset for the week. Used to let's read the email and then type an email back to them, but I thought that was a little impersonal. Well, I thought that it was just the moment. They need to become typing it out. You know, I will be able to give as much information as I put in the monastic. So I did a bit of research and I found an app called Screencast-O-Matic and basically just lets you record yourself a record. It's over cause your screen and then it records a little icon of you in the bottom right or left hand corner of your screen. So did you know is I'll read the check it for my write them a little note. And I'll just record I'll because of the check and form or a video like this I'm saying what did well that week what they didn't go what didn't go well the week I'll go to the whole form what I've written down. They said the girls for the week to come. So yeah, it's it's it's moved a 20 minute per check and job down to like a seven eight nine ten minute job. So 1/2 like it's giving it giving everyone what I think when I'm going to speak to them. It lets me put like a motion attend on certain there's this on certain kind of topics on Himself bore myself. And even in the majority Congress text to read I think so with the video check-ins allows you to give them a lot more kind of a nice little Personal Touch. They can see me they kind of they see me once a week working online. Is there that face-to-face interaction part from voice notes online. So given that kind of video check where they can see me looking through their phone because that Personal Touch but from my end from Iron it just it's literally about half my workload when it comes to check it. So it's a win-win for everyone really PPS you're looking online PT and don't know how to start the assume. The check-in is like a weekly from hole, which is fine is just very very time constraint. So you need to just be aware of that. I mean, you're not going to be doing more than 20 31 the one from course our week because that would be who'll be gone because it's a nice idea. All these will be 10 minutes 15 minutes and calls and reality. They're not normally a lot longer than that. Yeah. Liberty should be said about the Google form. Cuz that's what I used as well. Yeah, but I started to find that people stop filling it in because it was a hassle for them. Yeah. I I transferred all the questions to the note section of the phone and II WhatsApp them on Thursday and I need back up by Friday. Yeah. See that's it. That's what I think. I was I've been doing that for a while myself thinking like well, I you know because like again in fairies like I don't I'll have the only time I have an issue with someone sent us a check back every Thursday. Like 3.0 knock on wood. I haven't had a point where it comes out and forgotten her has been too lazy in the back helping others have done for but yes, she doesn't that happen again. It's very kind of when it comes to obviously make your service the biggest as user-friendly as possible like in the point now where I feel like I take on and say I'm working with 25 our clients there. I get to 40 50 our clients the future and I find that half of my favorite checking back. Well, then it's case for why there's obviously a bit to come and talk to you because even for them. Hang on make it easier. Or user-friendly so what's up, they'll take it from there and obviously be a lot more ideas and then unfortunate them voice. Don't be black or voice of them back and then I've been to each job done. So yeah big even friendly Germany groups, like what's up or Facebook groups just for clients and we had open group. Yeah. Probably don't know if that's actually I've written on the board to actually make a client. What I do do already said to me last time was you mentally been an Instagram the best friend section your story. Yeah. Yeah, I do. Did not know it's only giving you said about monetize your last time but I have that purely for Chloe's name. So I have a kind of have one-to-one online. I'll have been that of every day. I'll put a few stories of their basic implementation see the content that way just friends. So to an extent I have some means of clearly there a Facebook group. I'm going to try out something about what Facebook group of the issue is but half them as best Invaders like I'm not acting face but also if you had about be there, but I want to review the it's going quite well half you guys when we get much from Affeldt, it's guys like some like lines to be kind of in their 40 something with their kind of do teens and early twenties. So we'll have Facebook's our world. So maybe on Instagram someone else's kind of try finding a platform that will kind of get them all and so that's actually good but about three or four people just listen and I'm picking up on that. So people who'd be familiar with Instagram stories and like I think most people just posted everyone automatically and there's a close friends feature and I came to my mind I was listening to something and it was this influential. Hundreds 200,000 followers don't even know who it was was charging a monthly fee for any of her followers to be on a cruise friends list and she would post specific content there. I can't couldn't tell you who it was or what the type of content was. It wasn't Fitness. And at first I just thought you money-grabbing absolute you're praying on the vulnerable here and then I started to think about it. I was just like well It's essentially the difference between your Facebook Newsfeed and your Facebook private group. You're going to have your Instagram sent away for anyone and everyone can see and potentially a close friends list that you could control not charge people to be on a list but do as part of a overall package of value which makes you know, when our kids were talking about the fitness industry, so it might be your personal training or maybe your coaching and so it's something I'm just curious about a saw and I know I'm on a close friends list of a couple of different people and people in business. Yeah, and at those kind of thing every time it comes it comes up on the screen comes up on the screen and green clothes. So then like me close friends. Yeah. Nobody else has he understands on see this lens even this is just for me and person acts as kind of a sentence or in any group fitness instructors listening right there. Create a close friends list and perhaps just have members of your class or miss your you can give more value to and then you'll build up your reputation would say the same the PT PT is listen to this have your PTS on this Cruise friend list. So is your clients are getting more value from you that the rest of the world are getting and help them get more results will help you create more retention. Hey, yo simple but effective. Yeah. Yeah simple symbols. Me Hi. How are your life's going O'Connor. I know you've been their lives to your three Sundays in a row. Now. I must be at 20:20 thing. I think it's been I think this is our fourth week. Just come by there. Uh-huh. Yeah, we had that idea. So I kind of had the idea where it was. It was New Year's Eve with someone's house. We're both. Hold on. Hold on. Yes since idea started on New Year's Eve. Yes. We are both very drunk. As most as ideas what happened? It was very drunk. Come on hear things like Donald's like lots of videos. I've got an idea was like lay it on me and basically the main events getting a point if they don't hear like the likes of people like James Smith Derek cartel those like that kind of Silent Fitness industry. There's not really doing what they're doing instead of being kind of like giving out good information, but being entertaining at the same time Johnny like they're like, they don't really give a shit. They're kind of those post kind of they don't carry the offense as long as long as they can to get their point across they're happier, but it'll get Deal with I've been a phone they're going to make for the kind of baseball garbage others. It's interesting to watch seems like there's no one in plug in their Zone and Domino and are already doing that diminish. So like why don't we just like start streaming? It's just like million have a topic chat away with it. Just looking to pay it off each other how beautiful this nothing to just put your casual chat that kind of wine. Just see where it goes. So I think yeah, I think that's a really good idea. So we started doing this I think was the first week of January you started doing this and it's like well, we got it. We got about a hundred and sixty a hundred seventy total viewers. We do all the following week and there we got a guest on we got for that that work quite well. I'm sure that as well so just have to go and so we've been chatting the last wire so we fears eventually what we assumed I knew we wanted people turning into a podcast just because it'll kind of be long-lasting where the people are still alive. If they're for the stream of the 74 hours for then after you finish the stream your day later. It's gone. Whereas we record these and make them more of a podcast, you know, see the Be their friend was listen to so I think we're really trying to move in that kind of Direction in the very near future. Hopefully in the next few weeks or so. You have to talk to you about that. But yeah, we do want to try a line of schedule the way to find a time to record it and upload it and like gives away I'll get like the alternate whose job it is to work for to edit and although each week that kind of way. So it is common. Yeah. We are Debbie going to be turning the killer streams into a podcast style means of content soon enough definitely do yeah. All you need to do is have your laptop open because you want to do Instagram life from you. Yeah top open as well, which I know you guys have had your laptop open. Yeah record that suggests deal. Where do you mean you didn't literally right there? Yeah. I mean essentially exactly that because I bought Instagram. I'm a laptops recording everything that we're talking about. Obviously the videos recorded as well. Chuckles mmm go on their podcast. Otherwise, it'd be a video. Yeah just realized how stupid that sounded and so right it's January so I don't work in a gym the way you do in terms of, you know gym floor and Direction January is traditional quote unquote the busiest time of the year for Jim's what typical conversations are you haven't right now. I am Athen any topics that are constantly coming up. The term we're in particular, of course, there's always going to be a standard like, oh, I'm doing X Y Zed I'm not losing weight with the Hales Corners, like right world really good things going on. That's explain to you. What's going on? The think is commonly coming around asking me about like the photonic band that came up all that you think it was like she was like surprised. You know, how's it going too much now, I've got a lot busier in says the like from say from our last podcast Binet was kind of I've had like a very consistent increase in business in the gym from there to now or no January. I've had people say I people kind of go away over Christmas and people say they're going to set up after January and last week the first week. I have everyone back together. I was stupid. You very busy busy week and Nails going to be very busy going forward, but question wise I suppose. It's nothing that kind of pops up to me that I'm thinking. Everyone's just asked me a very common question people ask me. It's kind of more fun of you know, I'm working. I'm working more with one-to-one clients and doing class than I am kind of even Dixie memories in the gym that kind of way which is obviously a good thing to have but kind of with them. They're more kind of obvious ask a question, but they're asking kind of individualized questions based on their needs something kind of similar in terms of the same common across that was more kind of individual to what they were kind of looking for a little bit of straight to my body. Of all who was the professor Gates by the latter was this going to be a bigger chest give it stronger where the Traditions the standard kind of question the crosstab. Nothing's really kind of common amongst the group of German. No, no Dental. Just wondering is there being any consistent? You know, I know I've been drilling into my clients recently. Obviously not the one the one skill on the the online about you know steps and neat and I just I think it's really really Popular right now for people to use especially after Christmas use all their fitbit's and apple watches and pullers and whatever they've got the track the calories and steps that the day and think that's enough. Yeah, you know until you say to them. All right? Well done, you know you did hit training for an hour. You burnt 700 calories brilliant. You've slept for another eight hours that they're so what have you done with the other 14 13 12 hours instead of setting them at their school day. Is that well? That's that's not going to cut it. You know, it's what we do. What what we do in the gym is automatic. That's a given that's a free one you like. We're always going to affect body composition with what we do in the gym. That's not the concern. It's the time I'd so when we're not in the gym, that's where the focus should be on people's Lifestyles. Yeah. So I've just been educating people about soon like so I've got got there a Tracker hooked up the MyFitnessPal. So do I not quite the calories that I burned in the workout and like no and what about the steps like no all but around 6 miles. Is it tough? You don't get the kind those steps because Were they were treating ya also ha moment that I'm a man to get steps up and then we'll say something like, uh, I'll say go for a walk at lunchtime says what if I'm planning that does not become scheduled exercise and I'm like no you won't too far. You can not hit start our door walk on my watch when I go for an outdoor walk and I'm like, is he your training session in the day and say no it's an Extra training session. I'm like no, it's not this is just something new you're doing is a cunt your training session as your training session. Yeah for a walk right past goes on your lunch break like that at your stats that say that I actually did two left testicle. Conversations because that I'm saying this is like watches for a long time because people first of all they get caught up in the calorie burn and then second to get caught up on their heart rate. Yeah. So the don't appreciate if you go to the gym and you burn 500 calories in 30 minutes doing shoulders and legs and I go to the gym and I burn 500 calories in 30 minutes and I'm on the treadmill. They are two completely different levels of intensity. I would be steady state cardio or for you to do 500 calories in 30 minutes just duo will be a lot of work and you're gonna tell him yourself or you're going to be doing like Les Mills correct on speed. So it's that different analogy and then people say, oh I was I was in the gym and added 60 minutes, but I couldn't get my heart rate up and you're like, well, what have you done the rest of the week? We like often 17 sessions. So, how's your sleeping? I've got five. Tonight cause you're dieting all of you know, I've eaten a lot of sugar and I haven't had a lot of proteins that there you go your quality cannot respond your body cannot elicit the proper response. So that's why we cannot hold ourselves accountable to these watches there are tone, you know, don't be a turn use these as your tone for for your workouts rather than be a slave to yeah that says yeah so like yeah, well I suppose. Yes. Let's suppose now it come January again. Everyone kind of a few I phenological as clients. Now this who have kind of that. I know them from the gym, they'll do classes. I've got a lot from classes obviously advertising people right after class and I got white boards. I put away the kind of the kind of no, they don't they have a general idea of how it all works. But then there's this the smaller things like like dale dale of classes withdrawal in decent shape with like that. Welcome, sir, like a machine or a waiter a squatter a pull up the kind of like good look this isn't the class. But yeah. Well, that's that. This is this isn't a class like oh, what was this is a problem but understand the class like happy Hunting the classes have a look at this like why we do this like it's on the class like well, that's why you're here to get out of the Class Clown think they're gonna be late like Oh What A Bit Stronger but a minimal so kind of get them out of that and someone but one big thing I suppose if it's all about that. There is a guy have a good for you. I think about four or five clients out with injury new ones in January who have company from kind of circuit based classes who just feel like I want to get stronger, but I haven't improve the class like That's fair enough. Go to a class. You're not going to get strong. That's just like in relative to of the Building Trades in terms of like having a bigger having more kilos on a bench press or a pull up her squats. I can always get Jelly Bean a stronger person. They patient that was a vehicle won't be able to through class. But let's to TT and see what happens. So as far as the kind of it's almost like rewarding people that make sense like yes classes. They are there bad their benefits class. I want to go up Bush, you know away test in the gym and a half an Our circle after be two complete different things that you'll be go. So it's almost like trying to rewire them ahead of that. Okay, you think you want you won't get from this class, but you want to come from, you know resistance training for you as a week watching your nutrition washing your sleep back and away and kind of only I like rewiring them to kind of think in a completely different way than the kind of used to which it's just a hard thing to do but there again like as we go along with that kind of kind of clicked really enjoy your third kind of understand each other like the things like execution like Tempo like like just like so selection how we place things top sets back. I said some kind of intrusion those things little that kind of thinking like, oh actually this is actually a lot more things actually not to compensate. Yeah three lots of just kind of trusting in the son of helical exactly how we wanted to go. See ya suppose. That's what leaking - so it's kind of commonly across lines here that kind of idea I posted it. I don't know if you read did you read my dealer email this morning? I didn't read this, but I've been in works at 6 a.m. And I just got over 3 p.m. Because I feel loved and I'll spoil it for you, but please open up those me open rates. It's titles of like the reason why Gary Vee and Jim Smith have had such great success Oh, I thought I saw that I saw that I realized all the title in this morning. I saw that it is the Caribbean has like these later on today. So that's awesome. So what just what I've observed is their message has been consistent. You can carry these for over 10 years and years probably for longer than 4 years, but it kind of only became popular in the 2015. Yeah. And it's just a touch in what you said my message I have realized in last month has always been so consistent to people who are a member of health clubs. Yeah, so I don't use that word very very carefully. It's you're a member of this club. So it's how you can you utilize what this club has and as you rightly said classes or fantastic, I think classes are fantastic exercise turns your great for fitness and health generally if you want. Exhale toward your individual goals. You're never going to get it from classes alone. You're going to help you a lot of things on the gym floor and you want to have to do a lot of things outside of the health club altogether. My message has always been to every single person who loves classes for Fitness is your life hack is go to the gym twice a week and do 20 minutes of heavyweights postponed legs Call It Whatever split you want and then use your class as your And your condition? Yeah, I'm at my message has never changed and I more started thinking about it. The more I worked three clients and actually doesn't really matter what their goals are. That's what I tell people do because it just it just works that you get the strength out updations, which is where you build muscle. It's were you can create conditions that the burn fat ginger metabolic adaptation and in the classes get your heart rate up for that session. So that's where a lot of people Get enjoyment. So a lot of people who do classes. Don't join the gym floor because it's a lot of standing around. Yeah, checking your watch. Check me on Instagram between sets World gyal. Whereas in the class. It's boom boom boom set after set up for set. So raise your heart rate up. There is your enjoyment there. Is you at your chaos Factor your endorphins dopamine Rush Wars on the gym floor. That's where you can get your testosterone testosterone Rush. That's where you can get strength. That's where you can recruit them maximum muscle fibers. So, Twenty months for the class you recruit muscle maximal muscle fibers, and then the 20 minutes of the glass you're recruiting maximal Beauty Systems. Yeah this like hybrid or what your health club has to offer rather than just putting yourself in one room. Yeah. I think my message is never changed enough and you're trying to the opposite to me in terms of I do it from class the gym you can you kind of do it from Jim to class because your film The PPT whereas I'm focused and group exercise just in my life. Yeah. So yeah, so yeah like yeah absolutely like so yeah, I figure it makes absolute sense like you want to obviously if you're someone who loves classic you're not gonna go. Well actually we're in a ditch or Classics like you want to be up there working the snowflake Gym training is what you need what you want combined together. Boom. Happy Days even enjoy session. You enjoy what you're doing, but I was going but I just wanted a for an hour-long session and then I had to herself from half eight and a half nine the 945. I see GMA 4500 RPM class and she was there so I grabbed it in our session is emitted in RPM is a lot. Yeah that you enjoy. Yeah cool have uh, uh fine afterwards happy days. So yeah, it's a case of again. Like I think any program, you know, number one. Of course, it has to be effective has to be something that's kind of tender towards what they want to achieve and it needs to ensure that it is doing the exact thing they want but it has to be enjoyable. So they enjoy doing Passes by all means let's train train me three times a week and then do a great do fucking RPM do spring class afterwards or another day. If you're Joi you recover from it by all means go for it. Yeah, I do like yeah. So like if someone does enjoy and I like doing a class I'll never be like no God we're actually going to do a reborn cardio session afterwards. I'm going to be very boring like Lowe's and steady state cardio on your off days. Just because I feel like if we're to be re Optical data that's going to be lets say you go to bed. It's about somebody doesn't do class into the Glasses already locate get started. I'll be more accepted like oh that's do this kind of kind of a spin is let's track your heart rate all the calluses to sure we get the most out of it, but I'm someone who can again. Like I said, they're like, I have a lot of clothes there who I've gotten from a great class. I've got someone from you know, sir class in the gym floor jack away with it. So they've come to me from a class. That's kind of like obviously they like classes. I'm not going to babe gotten used to they've kind of learn to love the whole idea of coming going go go go for a half very straight. So hop in the world Traveler. Or half an hour said that class, you know, they're not going to like that. They're almost like me. I'd lost a client that job done. So you and I can legally like if see if you suddenly like the enjoyment such an important part of training for the culture collection question for you when it comes to your clients, like would you obviously when it comes to like I'll have clients who you know are some clients whose cardiovascular fitness. I will keep track of like their runs their heart rate that kind of make sure that their power is going down blood pressure all the conflicts about having fun to have that attract, but somehow I just don't because it's nothing that won't attract that kind of way. If you have clients who? Want to kind of truck that side of things. But like I said, they like Dave do that 20 minutes a day in the gym and then they do whatever class they'll do then and use that kind of class as their kind of cardiovascular fitness. How would you go about it? Like tracking almost improvements out of Haitians within that kind of sensitive if they only like a class kind of basting as their cardio. I'm really really old skin. So I come from a part of the PT industry and fitness industry before we had apps and heart rate monitors and all that. Yeah. For but of being a PT that those Iain, which is a good 16 years. Not far. It's just that's good. That's good. It's ours. It's not 16 years 13 years old on 15 years 14 years 14 somewhere around 14 anyway, and I just go when you tell me what your goal is, where are you not. So if you tell me you want the improve your 5K tag? Okay, go white and run 5K night if you cannot run 5k know. No RunWalk 5K tell me what your time is and let's say they come back and they say 40 minutes and then I'll look at them. Okay? By the end of will put a six week plan together 12-week pound, whatever it might be to get them Dawn maybe 2:30. Okay, so I know my hair but sort of speed they're already running that and what sort of speed they need the average up. They don't need to look at that point. Sometimes you maybe have that conversation. And then again, I'm quite all Sterling I'll have them working in blocks of two weeks. So you have weekday, we could be we get a weekly we gay will be intervals. Yeah, we could be will be staggered distances. has I'm sure and that's what I would do. I wouldn't worry about heart rates or wouldn't worry about like calorie burner and we think that a word get educated on that from let's say this on our PA rid of received of exertion. So say go for a slow 3K run at 6 out of 10. Like if you break a sweat, you're running too fast that sort of thing. It was recovery runs and in its were I would I'm a great believer in intervals as a lot of equal work rest ratios. Roma hard minute rest a minute and so on and just build time up rather than distance. Yeah hands on the person. So that's how I would get a jit and a term in terms of progress and over Loop for them. And then what should naturally happen is there they should be able to see the progress and then because they're seeing progress they get more motivated themselves either consciously or subconsciously and then they know when their next time drawn is they'll already know what they're capable. Capable of they'll probably already have some timestamps in their heads. So especially now because we do have Trackers and not people suspect the Apple watch is fantastic for it because it gives you your splits and your average runtime. Yeah, just just automatically I know what their watches all do as well. That's what a lot of people my kinds of find amusing know me everything talk for myself my first 3K. I have to be slow. If I go faster my first three cane or two months. It really affects me later on so I have to build it up. So I'll just make people aware of that. Where's the Lindsay's the opposite she needs to go fast. And then she gets to a slower Cruiser speed I guess. Yeah, as soon as I get people to have those kind of tangible landmarks if they want to talk about heart rate monitors and other because I'm having this argument with someone who's also doing an Ironman and I wouldn't humor and I don't know if she'll thank me for sandals, but fuck I'm Santa so she is she's ready. The our mom books and she's read and she's been in contact with all these people who have done triathlons and are months and what they tell you to do. An Ironman training is to go for a 3 or cycle with your heart rate in the yellow zone or the Blue Zone. I don't really understand about zones basically say keep your heart rate below 150 say I'm why just all because it means you've got like good bluff towards it but it doesn't really it just means your heart rate is staying low. I mean, I'm very very comfortable. I'll keep it when I run. My heart rate will be above 170 and I can keep it there for 3-4 hours and that's me and my Ransom so your heart rate and how hard you're working. It's there's always a perspective to and given that this person I'm talking to is also a group fitness instructor who teaches a clutter classes a week. We are very very used to having a heart rate elevated 3 exercise and yeah, it'ii trying to fucking talk at the same time. So we are Pre-programmed to have a heart rate high even if your muscles aren't actually do you give it a name may be compared to someone who doesn't do that type of job? Yeah, I guess. Yeah, I can tell you is that where you're coming from? But I do also I think it's very individual heart rate training and go I could do video. So your life's really all my photos my you gone. I'll bring you back. I'm back in this sort of more important. There we go. So some people are contained in the signs of that. I don't know telling me to get headphones on but I can't get that sure. You can't stay there don't go anywhere. So if anyone watching Ricky follower on follow Ricky regular coached by Don and follow me instead. Hi Kev do that. Hi, Steph unfollow Ricky and follow me. Hey, Ricky. I just thought we were just having a chat with you through your life. She was Tom who fantastic you are and just yeah. I can hear I can hear I can hear mostly in your hands. There we go. Hey, baby. Hey who says crisp? Oh good crispy like that. Okay, so, you know II totally understand where Jericho from I get you up late. I could see where she's coming from a her Point again. I wouldn't be very well versed on evidence going into Ironman training. It's not something I've killed people through or don't myself but I'm assuming she's saying she's read up a lot about our Mantra. I'm assuming that's come from some form of no evidence like some study research that kind of way, but I think one thing I get I love I get mine. Cell phone. I think it's very interesting. But I suppose we'll moving people kind of have to understand when it comes to any form of going my research at there's always that kind of bell curve Jolene and there's that bit in the middle that bell curve where yes the operations they probably will work for the maybe 85 nodes that people but then you got to realize that these little eight layers out here. Yeah, that's you know, they don't, you know, there's like three racks of math skills. It's a bell curve the bit in the middle. That's where everyone's out there. That's your perfect the word for the fancy months. Like that's like that's the norm. That's where like give the what'd she say about the 150 blowing thinking what if you alright? I'm sure if I have represented. I'm sure if she say that from a ton of research that for most people that probably will work best against the like yourself you're saying that you find it better when you run slow as fuck for the first three kilometers in to be alive Lindsay runs fast and fuck them. First three columns a goes slower than wrestlers. Like there's always going to be the bits of the end of the bell curve you guys cause you can't see me the veal these guys are always going to be a little bell curve there and it's always see these outliers here asked the car. That's the like the 1% that point five percent people who you know, maybe that bit of research doesn't by all means go with them Theresa you've oh, yeah, so I completely under there's always evidence based things is fantastic as I always perceived think about in Jerry going for with coding someone new or before always kind of start with what has been shown to work best. But again, if that doesn't work, they'll be afraid to go off the kind of the normal what it's supposed to work because not everyone's going to be the exact same like I saw like a blanket when she's home from But when you say that, I completely get where you come from fight like that mean I'm back baby very very well for the end. There's always that 1% of people who it doesn't even frame that could be it could be like we Lindsay's yeah completely there's usually of us but there's not that black and white you should be doing this at this intensity with this heart rate because we're always going to respond to it differently. Yeah, it's just her she thinks her heart rate sitting too high for her perceived workload, and I'm like, no. No it would be worried. And if your heart rate was at 170 you perceived work mode. It was eight nine or ten and you need them in tea and not for two years. That's a problem. But if you float is 5 out of 10 and your heart rate sponging off 180-190, like you're not in a bad place. Yeah, just just work with it, you know, eventually the heart rate would probably come down with training, etc. Etc. But it's just I thought I do your back that will kind of Highway opened. This is people Put too much on this on just one thing not just heart rates. In this case. We are talking about heart rates, but just one thing when it comes to training in general, you know, it's like me menu swattin and you Squat and you probably squat what 130-140 bath whatever the little while so I wouldn't know I'm gonna guess up for a few reps, maybe 150 160 hours a well. I wouldn't go over a hundred kilograms and it's like meteor can that squat that I did of a hundred kilograms and you tip and that's quite a 150 and saying Dan your fitter than Ricky when there's this big massive spectrum of fitness, and there's so many different Fitness tests we could do we could go and climb up a wall use there's a wall in Our could be a fitness test for someone be completely insignificant and stupid for Dan and reg 81 have a fitness test on a climbing wall because nowhere near our goals, but it's like two kids racing up the climbing wall and one kid gets to the top and saying, oh, he's the fattest kid in the room. Well, he's not he's fine. We'll all fast but that's all I think that people do this. We're heart rate monitors and you know, someone who might be an elite triathlete and say, oh, you know that guy Hi, Jan. Okay, Jen. Okay ban is an elite triathlete. Its 2020 duck IJ 4 point 4 point don't want their fan anyone. That's at that poor fucking point chance that he can attack trickier that that person's Jam. Korea has just done that trifling fattest person in the world. Yeah, but kind of do a bench press so no, but the first person to world because you can swim bike and run like come to do kind of bench press or body with so well I can so Technical and federalism that is the first allergy breath even though it's not Triathlon. I just swam like X-Men X-Men of miles just ran a marathon on their site on the climbers. Like that's that's fucking cool, but I just been pressed my body weight for 10 reps is like but I ran I benched my body weight for 10 reps. What have you done shit now? Okay. Now that's pretty impressive. It's all relative to what you're trying to get done. I suppose. Yes. So have the reason that was a real sex right now. So amazing you don't So my podcast is a first-time drug should be done on my podcast. Yeah, it's actually like liquid cocaine you just spray and store it in your giddyup. Now. It's a Sudafed nasal spray solution Jeff an affiliate. Like it's been for Unicode. I've had that for the last like two weeks plus it's not always it's not it's not good at all Ricky. I'm devastated ghost. Well, that's what we'll talk about. How long ago probably got about 10 left. They're gonna take over it. Yeah, well which happened beforehand Westar, I think lies. Oh, sorry. I promise. Do this the laser cutter? If you want to give Connor a follow, he's already live stream with its color guard coaching on Instagram. I promise you I do that. So that's just me doing that for clearly problems with you had good Madam. I'm a I'm a good person like that good times good videos up. Thank you. He's he's a he's restarting the septic a open and friends don't he's a he was easy work honors work in the west with me. He's a person and also, you know me son from CX and butter. Julie may have told him you'd be doing me after he's gonna get started on my coaching now Jesus sniffles great like it miss having him me and him would be to the bishop Edie's items. He's absolutely fucking killing that sense. He's everywhere from self then online coaching. Now you see starting to kind of get busier and busier now, so apparently he's doing well. He's really he's taking us like I'm a social media. He's post a lot more. He's getting Comfort to stories that kind of way. So he's he's gonna he's gonna he's gonna do well, Well, he's going to do a himself. So we're looking forward to see what he has to bring to the screen for you. I'm just curious, you know, because I don't actually work with a lot of pts on a business point of view who you're employed the way you encounter a baby. So what's it like working as an employed Pete 800? What's what's a the best way to build your business and be what are the things that you maybe have to do which? Don't directly build your business. So a typical example is teaching classes. They don't directly build your business. But indirectly they help you get experience a help you talk to the members except trousseau, like what are the sort of things you have to do to first of all build it so I suppose yes, I got to think. Like my gym westward westward left side has a 9,000 members to huge is a huge huge gym. So I think one one great thing that people need to kind of realize who are there is that you've got so I compared to being on your own like in like renting out of a gym is that you were literally given a humongous potential of our client base. So it's kind of like you've got to kind of kind of rejig house how you kind of approach that kind of situation, you know, you can think oh, I'm working. I work 40 hours a week in the gym. I do expect a class. I'll get a PDF Then that's kind of that's my job. Oh, I gotta think right. I am working 40 hours a week in the gym with 9,000 members. That's 40 hours a week. I have to fill out 40 hours a week. I have contact with these members. I've classes. I have classes with a whiteboard. Okay whiteboard. Let's write through workout up and then let's put a little Petey like at the bottom of it. There's white boys ready. Jim Kunis try to work out up and then like I've raised the bottom here Walker and the gym clean the gym up owners. Remember I knew from that class is go talk to him. It's a bad kind of understanding that. You know, yes, even though you are employed you are working for a manager work somewhere else you are working for obviously a company like you are kind of in there on your like you have your account of very radically but like your PT business is still your core business and children. So it's a case of how can you kind of tweak your mindset the point where like whatever you do in the gym is gonna benefit that basket. So I suppose obviously things like classes. Yes class that will directly affect my business a piece of personal trainer, but I can make it so it does show you I can I can I can after class cool. Was grit 31 with Don put your mouse away as X Y Zed, but also if you're if you enjoy the class when you get it student into the gym, give me a quick chat with book you in for 45 min PT conservationists. Are you willing to lose body? Fat the more so x y z, you know c'mere covid Chaffetz after the have to work out. Thank you so much. You can do to so many PT sir to do that at the end of a class. It was a typical sentence. We all say at the end of the class is thanks for coming to great today. Any questions. Give us a shout. When there needs to be a follow-on sentences, thanks for coming to class today. Any questions give us a shout 90mm. Jarecki and one of the pts here. You can find me here or these days annoy people know that about you, but potentially you could actually do a quote on quote seal from the stage. You could say run and PT sessions at such and such a surprise. I'm running this boot camp depend on what's a lord in your gym your appreciate different gems of different rooms, but it It's given people that awareness or what you do to get your stage you go to use your Stitch. Yeah, I will be there is one of my current place of work for now from will the classes she was saying to me I refer for the first time on what the board without user class kind of stream yet. I realized the bottom there's a work and then the bottom is it like interesting personal training Boogie with me - Dan for 45 minutes free part 3 PT conservation shows we have it's like, oh, well, I didn't realize you did personal training. I was like, yeah, I do like that. It says on my t-shirt. I'm a personal trainer. So no, I didn't realize I was like, oh, well, that's easy. So I just started in that moment later just from running workouts on a whiteboard that on a private auto white but I could book him a PT session. I've got a few clients from that. So it's it's really the case of But I got a pretty good climb up as I'm signing the gymnastic. I'm like write an email as our oh hey, how are you getting on snap? Chat with them observing relationship. Boom. I see you in the gym floor. Let's talk. Oh, he's doing EXO's X Y Zed wrong improving their to our heads of a better. Yeah, cool Bookman boom client and idea class, you know again like a Brazilian on a I like my name's Dan Reeves. I'm a personal trainer at the gym. You want to give know how that works. Give me a shout of the class. Only faster the Whiteboard right for the Whiteboard and I see someone struggling when exercise go talk to them it that you've got it. Of almost jig out of the most of Europe. Obviously you are employed by someone what kind of you know milk it to your advantage I got away. So you kind of do your job but also do your job Rob merger talks about it and has Birkins bitch called money. It's a good rate. It's a lot of it's about the history of money and a lot of its to do with property development, but there's loads of things you can take and how they talks about. You can be an employee self-employed, you know be an employee you can be an entrepreneur and then what's kind of being created in the last two or three years is the So it's okay you're employed but you have your own authority to get the job done. So it's kind of like the more of listen to you talk. It's kind of I haven't put it together before that's kind of what unemployed PTA like West would do and I know David Lords do it as well. It's kind of like, okay, here's here's the orgy got to work. Here's the target of how many PT clench you need to get. Go yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah that that's literally it. Here's your working this time after this. I don't care how you do it you do it. It's like okay. I've got to think of a bit of form of myself. Yeah laughter. Yeah. That's where is the standard coffee shop worker receptionist, maybe someone working and you know that Tesco's our Supermarket whatever they are employed.
