Jeff Laurence, Catalyst PHD - Personal, Health & Development Coach, discusses how to be a mentor for your personal training clients

PT National had the pleasure to speak to Year 11 and 12 students at recent careers expos. It has been four years since my Senior school teaching days and it was great to catch up with our youth to discover what interests them, future endeavours, as well as some of the challenges they face when choosing the right career pathway for them, and in many cases making their parents proud.

Conflict is an inevitable part of our everyday lives. There can be a duality to conflict with both positive and negative aspects.

Achieving a balanced life in a world that can sometimes feel like too much to handle might seem like an impossible task. This is especially difficult in our modern world where we have to find a balance between the demands of work, study and home.

Humans and Fitness have evolved greatly throughout the ages. PT National has put together an info-graphic to help us teach about the History of Fitness, from Primal Times to the Rise of the Modern Fitness Industry.

A personal trainer’s duty of care moves beyond the gym setting, as we have a responsibility to support our clients to develop healthy lifestyle habits. This month we have seen a large number of clients who have reached a plateau in further achieving weight loss results and they don’t know why.
