Show Notes

As an expert or a personal training brand, not only should you really understand your craft, but you should also manage your member's health and fitness in the gym and outside of it. That's why we always talk about nutrition, supplements, and other important health advice.

In this episode, we debunk the 3 most common myths that exist in the fitness industry. With these myths out of the way, we hope you will give the right advice to your clients as they righty expect.

The first myth we debunk is the one thing all clients want to do when they come to the gym. We are talking about static stretching. At Alloy Fitness, we don't do much stretching because it doesn't have much impact. Even though stretching feels good to the client, as fitness experts, we should do more to increase their mobility.

Tune in to hear Rick and Matt debunk this and other myths and increase your fitness knowledge and ultimately educate your customers when they come to you for help.
