FCM184: How To Go Beyond The Workout & Create A Deep Human Connection with Mason Bendewald

A trainer is not just a trainer. We’re so much more than someone
who gets certified to move others through a series of exercises
safely. Deep down, we know that we also have the potential to
step into a role where we can have such a more significant
impact. Because the truth is that fitness, especially a group
fitness class, is one of the few things we can do in our modern
society that feeds the soul of what we have evolved to be. We're
talking about moving our bodies- one of the most profound, most
primal experiences we can have, but also doing so alongside
others to music.


 


This experience taps deep into our emotions and brain chemistry
and unlocks new pathways for us to move through trauma, bond with
each other, and discover more profound levels of strength and
fortitude, to name a few. And as the leader of that experience-
we have a tremendous opportunity, and we would go as far as to
say, a responsibility (if we take what we do seriously) to learn
how to make the experience we provide something absolutely
unforgettable and life-changing.


 


When we do this right, your clients’ exercise experience shifts
from “how many more reps?” “How much longer?” “Am I getting more
toned?” “Am I gaining muscle?” “How many calories am I burning?”
“This is really hard” to something immersive, fun, and something
they can’t wait to return to.


 


It comes down to you- and how you share yourself, your worldview,
and your experiences in a way that colors the workout and makes
it unique and experiential. And that’s what we’re talking about
in this episode today- not only how to do that, but also why this
skillset is so essential to invest in whether you’re an
independent fitpreneur or a business owner.


 


Because the truth is, without an emotional connection, most
fitness equipment collects dust or becomes a clothing hanger. But
when we turn our focus away from the specifics of the workout
we’re doing (which no one actually cares about) and onto the
human connection we’re forming. That’s where everything falls
into place.
