I’ve been coaching for a while now, and one thing I’m curious about is how others balance their own training style with what they prescribe for clients. Personally, I love pushing limits with HIIT and heavy lifts, but I know not everyone thrives on that intensity especially beginners or those with different goals.
Do you stick to your personal preferences when programming for clients, or do you adapt more than you’d expect? For example, I might compromise on workout duration or exercise selection to match their recovery capacity, even if it’s not how I’d train myself. Where do you draw the line between what works for you and what’s best for them? Would love to hear how others navigate this.
