Why Some People Achieve Results And Others Do Not



I have seen a very interesting phenomenon whilst coaching clients. I have had clients start with me who are almost identical in body composition, physical ability and goals, and both agree to the same frequency of personal training sessions. In the months that follow, one client has dropped 10% bodyfat, inches from their waistline, and has achieved a double bodyweight deadlift. The other hasn't changed body composition or size at all, and still cannot perform a single bodyweight deadlift. These are real clients, not just illustrative examples.

Why does one person achieve such outstanding results, and the other not?

Quite simply...

Person A applies themselves whole-heartedly during their sessions, ensures they do the homework activities set for them outside of their PT sessions, and they follow the nutritional advise without deviation.
Person B never puts any effort into their sessions, never ventures outside of their comfort zone, never does any exercise apart from their PT sessions, and quite obviously continues to eat and drink as they always have.

You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink.

A personal trainer is not a magician. They will design effective programs for you, provide technical & motivational coaching, give you nutritional advice, etc... but if you do not apply yourself or follow the advice, no personal trainer in the world will ever be able to help you.

Personal coaching can help you achieve the results you desire, as well as giving you the necessary effective tools you need to keep striving forwards, to keep changing and progressing on your journey.


Challenge everything, especially yourself.
