Summary

Online coaching is the best coaching for coaches and clients. Coaches gain wider access to clients, more flexibility of time and location to coach, and more dollar-per-hour. Clients can access great coaches across the globe, train during travel or vacation when it works for them, and pay less than in-person coaching. Plus, online coaching builds consistency which leads to more gains.

Online Coaching is Better for Coaches

Online coaching is the best coaching for coaches.

In-person coaching ties coaches to the tyranny of the schedule and the gym. This leads to long days, much of which may not be paid for but certainly counts in your calculus for quality of life.

You can travel - or even go on vacation - and coach. You can coach when it works for your schedule, asynchronously with your clients.

Online coaching enables you to gain clients from around the world - as long as you can communicate - which is especially great if you have a niche that you struggle to fill in your local area.

Lastly - but not least importantly - you can provide more value to your clients in less time earning more dollar-per hour. Really - in less time than you spent with in-person clients you can make far more per hour, where and when you want to coach, with clients better suited toward your particular strengths.

Online Coaching is Better for Clients

Online coaching is the best coaching for clients.

Clients can finally find the coaches they want - great coaches - not simply the coaches in the local gyms. Whether it's your preferences or certain challenges most coaches cannot address, you can find a coach that can help you.

Lifters pay less monthly than they do for in-person coaching. It costs more money to meet someone for an hour multiple times a week at the same time and place. With asynchronous coaching, you pay less, and still get programming and technique feedback.

Lastly, you can still train if you're on vacation or travel for business. This leads to consistency, and consistency leads to more gains (define gains how you want - we mean you move closer to your goal or crush your goal sooner and set new goals).

Online coaching is the best coaching for lifters and coaches.

0:00.0	The podcast where we talk about what it means to experience strength.
0:08.0	And how you can use simple, hard, and effective strategies in training and nutrition to improve your life.
0:15.0	It starts with meeting you where you are right now in finding lasting solutions.
0:20.0	Welcome to the show.
0:31.0	You're listening to another coaching success episode of the barbell logic podcast. I'm your host Matt Reynolds because I'm having a great Friday.
0:40.0	I want to dive right in today on a topic that Nikki and Andrew and I talked about a couple of years ago on the barbell logic podcast.
0:47.0	But I want to really focus it towards coaches today. And that's why I believe that online coaching is actually better than in person coaching.
0:56.0	And I realize that that's going to ruffle some feathers probably and I want to give some background to that story and so that you understand why I believe that now.
1:03.0	So most of you know that I have gosh, I have spent probably as many hours as anybody who's ever lived doing in person coaching.
1:10.0	I was the head strength coach of a five A high school in Missouri for 10 years.
1:15.0	And I coached you know on average 65 kids a day every afternoon or before school or after school.
1:22.0	You can imagine one how much that refined by I as a coach. And so the last thing I want to do is give some sort of idea the in person coaching is not valuable because I think it is valuable.
1:34.0	And I still do it some and I certainly still love to coach things like seminars and one off some people that come in from out of town and actually had a good buddy and stayed with us the last few days.
1:44.0	I'm actually getting ready to hop on a plane and go to Alaska for the next couple of weeks to work with some of the EOD guys.
1:49.0	And I'm going to work with them in person right so this is really more about kind of taking a long term view of coaching and the advantages.
1:57.0	I think that online coaching brings over in person coaching and so first I don't want to say that you shouldn't be in person coach as a growing coach.
2:05.0	If you're a relatively new coach, I think that there is clear value in doing in person coaching.
2:11.0	I think it refines your eye in real time. I think that it forces you to make corrections in real time where you don't have any do overs.
2:19.0	You can't hit stop on the screen recorder or things like that. I think those things are really important. And so I coach many thousands of hours over the 10 years that I coached as a head coach for a big high school.
2:31.0	And then of course I started strong gym and I ran that from 2008 through 2015 and I had personal training clients all during that time.
2:38.0	I also ran kind of a strength focused boot camp, so kind of group coaching early in the morning that we would do where we would do strength coaching.
2:45.0	And then we would do kind of CrossFit style conditioning at the end of that just to make sure that it was mostly kind of soccer moms that they got sweaty and they felt like they were coming to they felt like they got a bunch of exercise in.
