"Coaches" and "Personal Trainers"
Most individuals do not hesitate to seek out expert advice from a tax advisor, accountant, lawyer, or physician, but when it comes to their training, they choose to do it
alone.  After coaching hundreds of individuals, both recreational and competitive, Body And Mind Solutions can clearly demonstrate that working with a coach
enables you to:

Athletics
  • Achieve a greater level of fitness than you would on your own.
  • Reduce your risk of injuries.
  • Become a more knowledgeable and insightful individual.
  • Remain accountable to achieving your fitness goals by working with someone who is monitoring your performance.

How does a Coach differ from a Personal Trainer?
Many people confuse coaching with personal training or use the terms interchangeably. While both professionals provide valuable services, there are important
distinctions between the two.

    Personal Trainers
    Personal trainers typically work with individuals in one-on-one fitness sessions. They provide daily workout structure and hands on motivation. Personal
    training sessions usually take place in a gym and focus on improving muscular strength, tone, or size. Personal trainers also provide assisted stretching
    and other fitness based instruction and advice.

    Coaches
    Coaching goes beyond that required in most personal training relationships. Coaching looks at the individual’s life and goals as a whole. While coaches
    still plan single workout sessions, these sessions are created within the broader context of the individual’s goals, resources, and event requirements.
    Individual workouts are designed based on a larger plan of training and accomplishment goals that can span from months to several years depending on
    the individuals goals and objectives. Coaching takes into consideration the multiple aspects of overall health, flexibility, nutrition, strength, and endurance, as
    well as the technical and tactical aspects of your chosen sport. Do you need an athletic coach?  We may have a coaching package that interests you.

    The BAM coaching relationship takes place utilizing all methods of communication. While the logistics of the relationship are such that the coach is not
    present during the actual implementation of the workouts, the BAM coach still plays an important role in:

  • Monitoring workouts
  • Providing feedback.
  • Helping individuals enhance and maintain their training motivation.
  • Helping their athletes train with a purpose.
  • Create and maintain a healthy balance throughout their life and teach tools that one can use for a lifetime.
  • Provide an outside objective opinion.
