Confidence for coaches - preventing injuries and training around pain
Professional development sessions for personal trainers, S&C coaches & gyms.
Practical. Evidence-based. Immediately usable on the gym floor.
Most trainers don’t feel ready when pain shows up
When a client or athlete says “my back’s been at me” or “my knee’s sore,” many coaches freeze.
They stop the movement, avoid the area for weeks, or worse — lose the client completely.
The truth?
- This is an opportunity to develop more trust with your clients
- Trainers need the tools to respond with confidence.
- Gyms and individuals that invest in this skill keep more clients long-term.
Professional development that builds confidence
I provide tailored education for personal trainers and S&C coaches that bridges the gap between fitness/performance and rehab.
Whether one-to-one or in small groups, your coaches will learn:
How to respond when clients report pain
Simple anatomy “cheat codes” that make sense in the gym
Safe regressions, progressions, and exercise adaptations
Communication skills that build client trust
How to keep training moving forward, even when pain is present
This isn’t a lecture — it’s practical coaching your trainers can use the next day.
Why work with me?
With a background in strength-based rehabilitation and years of experience working with clients in pain, I know what coaches need most: a strong theory background, confidence and practical tools.
I’ve led a team of coaches over a 10-year period training them in a world leading rehabilitation environment
I’ve helped both individual coaches and entire gyms upgrade their approach, leading to:
- Fewer injuries
- Improved return to play / performance
- Improved client retention
