What do you do to get clients outside of the gym to enjoy the outdoors?
I often take my clients on walks during their appointments. We walk on a walking path near my office or sometimes I will have them meet me at a trailhead. I have taken clients mountain biking when I lived in Asheville NC, but not so much now that I am in the Charleston SC area. I had several clients in Asheville who had not ridden bikes in years go out a purchase bikes after riding my extra ones. Another thing I have done is to take groups on walks one day per week and encourage them to walk on their own in between group meetings. I suggest they use a pedometer, GPS watch, or an app downloaded to their smart phone, which makes it more interesting to some people. I suggest they go to geodistance.com and map out where they walked if they don’t have a GPS, just so they can see how far they went, etc. I point out that walking outside has been shown to burn more calories due to wind resistance, uneven terrain, etc. and that it also stimulates their brains. I suggest a walking partner as well.
