Hi FitPro Family,

TrainerLisa here and I hope your business has been rockin’ so far! In this Q&A, I’d going to address some of the best things that YOU can do (as the Fitness Professional) to aid your client’s success outside the gym!

Although your client’s success is determined by their personal commitment to their workouts (with/without you), as well as their nutrition, it’s equally as important to give your clients some great tools to help them when they’re not with you, including when they’re on vacation, out of town, on a business trip or just can’t make it in to see you for whatever reason.
