What's up, Achievers?! In this episode we really delve into injuries and pain. Oftentimes, when we have an injury or setback it can feel really debilitating - not only physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. Hopefully after listening to this episode (especially the last question), you'll have a better sense of how to go about managing your health and fitness and overall mindset next time you experience pain and/or injury. The important thing to always note is that your body is very resilient and can bounce back quickly. That mindset alone can really have a major impact on how quickly things can turn back around! In the first question, we talk about what to do when experiencing an imbalance while squatting (4:17). Next, we cover if foam rolling alone is enough to address knee pain (8:11) or any pain for that matter. Lastly, we talk about how we manage acute pain - the example in the question was someone experiencing shoulder pain after playing tennis without warming up (16:32). We hope you enjoyed this episode! If you did, we'd love you forever if you left a rating and review on iTunes - it seriously helps us out a lot! Please DM us @achievefitnessboston on Instagram if you have any questions you'd like us to answer. Until next time, Peace, Love, and Muscles! ...

What's up, Achievers?! A mega episode for you today for all you fitness coaches, gym owners, and clinic owners out there! We get a TON of business questions and requests for consultations out there so we decided to give you a full episode on all things fitness business! Lauren and I cover our top 3 marketing strategies as well as our thoughts on how to best spread your message and brand on social media! Having said that, we also talked at length about how "lead-gen" and "marketing" and "social media" are all super "sexy" topics to talk about and focus on; however, these are all moot points if your client or member experience is not up to snuff. Four books we referenced to help out with this are: Raving Fans, The Starbucks Experience, The Nordstrom Way, and Delivering Happiness. Finally, while this is a great starting point, we couldn't possibly cover everything we wanted to in detail. If you're looking for more contextual or individualized advice, please DM us on Instagram @achievefitnessboston for more information on our business consults or you can check this link: https://www.achievefitnessboston.com/collections/achieve-collection/products/60-minute-phone-consultation We hope you enjoyed this episode!
