Good-Trainers-VS-Professional-Coaches

In our fitness industry, there are three types of fitness trainers:

1- Poor trainers
They don’t write any workout. They just tell you what to do on the spot. (chest day, legs day, they ask you to do a couple of exercises and that’s it)

2- Good trainers
They write workouts, and there’s nothing wrong with that, if you’re not interested in specific results.

3- Professional Coaches
They seek continuous education looking for a systemized, effective, and efficient method to designing cutting edge long-term fitness programs.

 

Continuous Education Led Me to “The New Rules of Lifting”

Albert Einstein once said “Once You Stop Learning, You Start Dying”.
I believe that no one can become so much of an expert that he stops learning!
My curiosity for gaining expertise led me to discover one of the best series of my favorite fitness five books “The New Rules of Training”.
I recommend them for any fitness enthusiast.

 

Alwyn Cosgrove, the engineer behind “The New Rules of Lifting”

Alwyn Cosgrove with Fares Saad
This guy is one of my role models. A real survivor who never gives up!

He started his private training gym Results Fitness with his wife Rachel from scratch, had a fight with advanced stages of cancer and despite all the hard moments he lived, he has risen above it all and his gym became twice named one of America’s Top Gyms by Men’s Health magazine.

I had the chance to meet him personally during my last visit to Santa Clarita to attend their seminar…

 

Mastery of Program Design Seminar

Craig Rasmussen, Fares Saad, Mike Wunsch
These are the two super coaches Mike & Craig who did an amazing job during our workshop that included:

  1. “The Rules of the Road” of Program Design.
  2. How to take information from your assessment to design a program.
  3. The most up-to-date exercise progressions/regressions with movement qualifications.
  4. Range of Motion, Activation, and Movement Preparation (RAMP) in a fully adjustable template format.
  5. Results Fitness Standard Operating Procedure for teaching basic movements.
  6. Case studies, designing multiple phases of specific, individualized programs, breaking down and explaining every decision made.
  7. Program variables such as loading, volume, intensity, and frequency.

Learning loads of new information, getting in the nitty gritty details behind the systems applied at Results Fitness and meeting top coaches from all around the world was one of the greatest experiences in my professional fitness field so far.

Results Fitness Motto is “Changing The Way Fitness Is Done”.
Now it is time to apply every single new technique and mastery of program design at Healthy Lifestyle.
Let’s Change The Way Fitness Is Done in Lebanon.
