Safety during Covid: Gyms Versus Grocery Stores

With gyms reopening the question has come up as to how safe gyms are. When looking at the health and safety measures in place for gyms, it can easily be argued that they are a lot more safe than grocery and retail stores at this time.

5 Common Mistakes Trainers Make in Their Websites

Over the past year, we have talked to dozens of personal trainers about how they run their businesses and attract new clients. Given our background in tech and experience with digital marketing, we always end up checking out their websites (if they have one) and corresponding social channels to see how they are using the different tools to accomplish their goals. What we have seen has not only led us to create content (like this blog) to help support them passively, but also inspired us to make a 30 minute consult with us a part of being a Trainer+ certified trainer.

This experience has shown us that despite best attempts, most trainers do not do a very good job of setting up their own websites, nor do a lot of website makers hired to do the job. We see the same common mistakes in most of the websites we look at, which we have outlined in this post.

Big thanks to HealthTO for giving us a platform to talk about the importance of preventative healthcare at a time when we need it more than ever.

We've been wanting to talk about this for awhile now, as it speaks to our long term vision of creating a world where everyone has access to a custom and effective fitness plan advised by a fitness professional. By changing the way personal training is sold, we can help fitness professionals make themselves more accessible and affordable so that everyone can get the help they need. Thanks for listening, and we hope to talk a lot more about this as we move forward.

Nick Corneil of Trainer+ presents Bridging the Gap Between Fitness and Healthcare

Summary:

With fitness as the top form of preventative healthcare and treatment in many cases, the fitness professional and plan still exist much outside the circle of care. Even though more money is being spent on fitness, and more (and more and more) technology has emerged in the fitness space, there has not been a noticeable effect on decreasing negative health outcomes from obesity, cardiac conditions, diabetes, etc. This presentation focuses on why this gap exists and how technology can be used to actually help close it and make fitness a part of the circle of care.
