EP 188: How to Build A Results Based Tra...

Vigor Life Podcast
About this episode

Andy McCloy is not only a great coach, the owner of the most successful gym in Huntsville Alabama, and one of my closest friends, he’s also my business partner in the Built To Last Gym Mentorship we launched last year. While in town to work on some projects and our upcoming mastermind in Austin, TX, we sat down to discuss how to build a successful training system for your gym, coaching business; one that can be scaled and taught to your team. 


Your training and coaching are the foundation of your whole business and we have seen more and more people in the industry skip past this with speed to focus on things like brand, marketing, sales, etc. The reality is that training and coaching are the service that everything else is built on and THE most important part. If this ins’t good, nothing else will help you! Tune in to discover the process of building a results based training system that can be scaled. 


IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:

=> Why your coaching program and gym NEED a training system (and not just any training system).

=> What are the best practices for developing a training system (and what NOT to do!).

=> Why your business (long term) will live or die based on the quality of your training and coaching system. 

=> You don’t sell programming, you sell how people feel after participating in a session (and how training systems & coaching play into this).

=> How Andy started his journey of developing his training system and his “Borrow” then “Build” framework. 

=> What do Crossfit/OTF/Orange Theory/Barry’s Bootcamp, etc have in common and what we can learn from them. 

=> How we learned that certain methods don’t work with certain populations (wisdom from 10’000’s of combined sessions).

=> Our influences of who we borrowed from and how we then built our own training systems. 

=> What is the “mixed model” of program design and why we’re big fans of it.  

=> What framework BCI Sports Performance and Fitness use with athletes and general population clients. 

=> What we learned from Mike Boyle and how it influenced some of our programs (both in different ways). 

=> We covers BCI’s rules and frameworks of the training system.


=> We go over a year’s worth of program design sets and reps that you can literally steal from us and use in your program design.

=> How to choose exercise categories, organize them, and create regression, baseline and progression models.

=> What is the perfect session checklist for our coaches. 

=> The R7 and P4 lens of designing training programs. 

=> How to develop internship models that build great coaches to run your system.
