Good personal trainers are awesome at exercise sequencing; they are very good at putting together fresh, challenging workouts.
Good coaches are awesome at designing exercise programs. Less emphasis is placed on exercise variety and more emphasis is placed on program goals.
The trainer has to keep the client happy and coming back; the coach dictates what his or her athletes are going to do if they want to play on the team.
The trainers approach is more fun, but the coaches’ approach is more effective.
The challenge for us at Agile is of course to do both: make goal-oriented exercise programs that are innovative, fresh and fun.
The challenge for me is walking the fine line between my roles as coach and trainer. On the one hand, I have to be a hard-ass, demand more and keep you on track. On the other hand, I have to be sensitive to the demands on your time and cheer you to do the best you can.
What's the balance between those two? I’m still not exactly sure.
