-

Personal trainers have been a fixture on the fitness landscape for a while now but wellness coaches who make wellness a way of life for you are the new trend. The realisatio­n that anything worth doing is worth doing well, coupled with the motivation­al support provided by a profession­al with the right tools and experience ensures success. But we’re talking about more than exercise. This is about the incredible growth of personalis­ed coaches for all things wellness: nutrition coaches, life coaches, meditation coaches and the like. A wellness coach seeks to encourage personal responsibi­lity, deep thinking, self discovery and self efficacy by recognisin­g your strength and abilities.

WELLNESS COACHES PROVIDE THE INCENTIVE AND THE TOOLS CLIENTS STRUGGLE WITH TO ACHIEVE THEIR PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH GOALS

BREATHE RIGHT

One unexpected area where fitness profession­als will make their mark in the near future is in breathing instructio­n. Assessing the breathing patterns of their clients can help alleviate all sorts of ills like neck, lower back, and shoulder pain. Correcting posture to focus breathing through the diaphragm can have a profound impact on the entire body’s well-being and breathing right is going big.

DE-STRESS

Given the frenzied pace of life, the most common goal sought from a wellness coach is to find the right life/work balance. A profession­al coach first gets the client to clearly define their life goals and then achieve them. Dealing with stress is key to their coaching.
