What makes a good PT?

Subjective question, there’s lots of ways you could measure a PTs effectiveness. Do we look at their busyness, there rate of short term “transformations”, turn over of clients, retention of clients, number of qualifications?

To me, what precedes these things is where the magic is, here’s what makes a PT a particularly good one in today’s society, IMO:

• Anatomical understanding - fundamentally we work with human bodies to get them moving correctly with relatively appropriate intensity. You cannot do that safely and thoroughly without a good idea of what moves when and how. We are engineers of the body and it pays to think like an engineer.
• Educational - just because we know it, it makes sense to us, doesn’t mean it’ll be that way for those who come to us. To be a good PT is to be a teacher. Meet the client where they’re at, have multiple teaching tools available to you to move your client on one step at a time. You don’t know your subject well enough until you can teach it, not simply repeat it.
• Listening skills - Everyone knows to get better health outcomes they need to make certain food choices and exercise choices by now. And yet, people still struggle, knowing the concept is often not enough. We have confidence, belief, information, trauma and social blocks to name a few. Listening to your clients, properly listening, with the intent to understand not just respond with soundbites. That’s how we can help reach the root of a person and nurture them to the life they’re asking for help with.
• Sociable - in a day and age where proper human connection and interaction is declining, where we’re glued to screens more and more, find it easier to message than talk, be a safe and fun space. When I was starting as a PT it was all transformations! And if you got labeled as an expensive “gym friend” you were a stain on the industry. Which I understood why, but that implies a narrow marker for what makes a good PT. If my client tells me they feel better about themselves, if I see them smile and laugh and they keep showing up consistently, without burying them in the gym for the sake of some clickbait, that’s fine by me.

⭐️ Coaching sessions available! ⭐️

I’ve been so busy recently getting my clients into 2023 vibes, running my own gym, development meetings etc etc that I almost forgot to post about this availability!

A rare chance to get 2 sessions a week with me for the next 5 weeks due to 2 lovely clients going away on a trip of a lifetime.

Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5pm, Monmouth leisure centre, starting Tuesday 17th Jan finishing February 16th. 10 sessions in 5 weeks to focus on what is most important to you right now, learn some new lifts to expand your exercise catalogue, get a kick up the butt during your workouts to bring home the intensity, rehabilitate from an injury, you tell me. I’ve been doing this for some time now (10 years in March😱) and am confident you’ll get something very helpful and valuable from this time.

Coaching slots like this don’t come around very often with myself so get in touch pronto to discuss your wants and needs before pulling the trigger 🔫💪

Yours in health and performance,

Matt

World mental health day

In 2022 I think there’s space for this everyday now amongst most communities, which is really quite beautiful I feel.

I don’t have a picture of me upset or on a dark day to share like I’ve seen many others do, not because I don’t have them, I do, I’m just not very good at recognising it or dealing with it head on.

My life’s going alright, I’ve a lot to be grateful for, but I still have anxiety almost everyday that it’s going to crumble around me at some point, imposter syndrome, abandonment fears. Or at least that’s what I think it is. My squirrelling away often leads to chronic fatigue or chronic pain, or just some serious freeze to the point I can’t do anything with my time.

Training is one of my avenues to express and helps a heap, occasionally it hinders though getting lost in my world of solitude.

A big high five to my colleagues who commit their time to making others feel good and hopeful about themselves, you’re all hero’s in my eyes, and your worthy of devoted time to you in return.

I hope you can all if you haven’t already find your safe space, person, people, community and activity to help you express, feel, reconcile and thrive, not always, that’s not realistic, but as often as possible.

I’m here to do what I can to enjoy the passage of time and I wish you all the same.

Life can get rough, we’re all on this roller coaster together, reach out the moment you recognise you need to. It might just be the best thing you ever do.
