18 NOV 2019 · This is an interview with Ollie Pearce, finding out about how he became a Personal Trainer and then developed into one of the most expensive and specialised Personal Trainers in London.

7 APR 2018 · Ollie joins us at FASTER HQ, to discuss pain and how to deal with clients in pain. This is a great introduction to his course Games for Pain (*where games help reduce pain, not bring it on!!)

6 APR 2018 · Trainers are wonderful people who seem to really want to help out and make people feel great. Part of the reason for this is that it also helps them to feel great too. However Personal Trainers can be lazy and that leads them to follow gurus, be lead by equipment companies and in some cases make things up. A want to feel like they make a difference and they are special can lead to sham techniques and clients becoming part of an unscientific experiment. Imagine if that is you, listen to this and hear what I think.

12 MAR 2018 · Based on a question from an FTE student I have produced this podcast to help with the difficultly in goal setting when you have achieved a fair amount already in the industry. After you have jumped the survival part of becoming a Personal Trainer, then you mature and become an established Personal Trainer with a decent income, things can become stale. In this podcast, I spend 10 minutes trying to help you find out your next phase, and possibly the last big goal you set in your career in our industry.

21 FEB 2018 · The fitness industry is so focussed on transaction and teaching that it often misses the main reason clients get involved and stay involved in training. Using before and after photos, making promises about 12 week transformations and change, and not getting on the page with emotion is a costly mistake and one that you can find on most fitness websites. My goal in this podcast is to share some light on how you build change, permanent change but mainly how you have to lean on client experience in order to get them to buy in. I truly believe that if we change our message across the industry, to one that has a focus on experience and feeling, then we will find the 95% of people we currently miss and we will start to make a huge impact on more peoples lives.

14 FEB 2018 · Hearing the physical requirements of a client is not enough, if your main aim is to deliver the best programming and experience to your client. Building an experience will help a client train harder and longer, as well as helping them to sell your services to people that they meet. Without listening athletically to a client, then you will end up being a transactional trainer, which will probably lead to you fighting with other trainers, pushing fear, or getting yourself into a price war!!

12 FEB 2018 · This podcast is about the 7 story archetypes and how these can explain the fitness industry. Looking at how the definition of a personal story in the eyes of a client can produce different outwardly recognisable traits. Also considering how your story can collide with someone else and cause friction. At Faster one of the most important aspects of our training, is to deliver specific stories to our clients and then use them to help us to get clients to their end results, whatever those might be. I hope you enjoy this episode, I will be delivering more shortly!!!

22 JAN 2018 · My take on the victimisation of Assessment, Posture (Static and Dynamic) and how the skills of a Movement Coach are more relevant now than before, especially if you are planning to use the excellent processes from the Biopsychosocial model.
