Summary

Join my 8-Week Challenge https://ericrobertsfitness.com/erf-8week-challenge.html On today's episode I break down what separates a great coach from a bad one — and why so many people come to us thinking they're the problem when it was their coach who failed them. Sophie and I talk about what real coaching actually looks like day to day, from walking clients through weekend meals to knowing when to push back and when to let someone learn on their own, and I share some industry secrets about why certain programs keep you stuck on purpose.
