We set examples by being consistent in our "healthy way of life" lifestyle by eating clean and working out along side our members when we are not teaching. Many times I've encountered members at the grocery store peeking into my basket! :)

practicing what I preach :) I make time for my own workouts and eat right. You won't find me out late because I usually need my rest for my morning class or workout.

I typically always eat at the tables in the main lobby and answer any questions as to why i eat what i eat and it often sparks conversations.
I also make time to weight train during the day when people are there. It puts me under the magnifying glass sometimes but that comes with the territory.
I use my experience of training myself and some difficulties or successes that have come along the way with clients to either give them hope, a push, or an idea of something they may expect.

For starters, I am my own guinea pig for exercises! I would never include something I haven't tried myself in a client's program. The example there, I guess, might be one of someone who is faithful to her word when I can reassure them that they can do this (since I know what it feels like!).
Of course, this goes straight into perhaps the more direct response to this question: I make time for my own workouts. This sometimes can be challenging given my demands and schedule. I let them know my personal philosophy (and often it rubs off:): that ANY mindful period of time where I spend moving my body is good, productive, and necessary. I find some clients still need the reminder that exercise does not always have to occur in one single bout; it can broken up throughout the day e.g., 5-10 minutes each x 3 or more times adds up to a great day of physical activity!

Being credible. My clients will not have an example to follow if I don't set a credible example.
I try my best to practice what I preach. I am not perfect and I don't expect perfection from them.
I try my very best to make sure my actions are consistent with my words.
I try my best to help them learn to VALUE wellness or value something in their lives. Having a value system serves a guide.
It is my hope when they see it works for me, they will want to develop their own value system and stick to it.
