Episode 216: Building a successful online fitness coaching business: An Interview with Aaron Straker
On today's episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I'm joined by Aaron Straker, who became an online fitness coach after spending years in the software industry. We talk about the skills you need for nutrition coaching and how to make the transition to a full-time fitness coach. I'm currently accepting applications for the Flex Diet Mentorship program, where I walk participants through my process for gaining clients, screening applications, and assessing their aerobic capacity and movement, breathing, nutrition, and more. We also cover mindset and personal development. See the application link in the episode notes.
