Based on the massive popularity of my articles about my hiring process (this one and this one), it seems like there’s a lot of interest in the “behind the scenes” stuff of my business. How is it that my company is able to operate like a well-oiled machine? How did we rise to the top of the field?
In this article, I’ll cover the professional development side of my business.
My Kinesiology Degree Didn’t Help
Frequently, when people refer their friends/family for personal training, they say “you should trust him. He has a kinesiology degree.” That’s a reference to the fact that you don’t need any degree to be a personal trainer. You just need a 3-day, weekend certification course.
And while it’s nice to know that the 4-year degree gives people comfort in working with us, realistically speaking, how much did it contribute to my practical knowledge, and ability to work with clients? Very little.
You see, a kinesiology degree doesn’t really prepare you for work. Not as a personal trainer, not as a physiotherapist, and heck, not even as a kinesiologist.
The only thing that a kinesiology degree prepares you for is sitting in a classroom, taking notes, and studying for tests.
What a kinesiology does pretty well, though is prepare you for a career in research. If you’re going to be a researcher, and work in a laboratory, a kinesiology degree does a good job. For everything else: not so good.
The material that I learned in my degree that I could actually apply in the “real world”, working with clients can be condensed from 4 years to about 1 week. Yeah, there’s very little practical information, and tons of theory.
And my sentiment is reinforced during my interviews (which are covered in extensive detail in this article). I frequently interview candidates with kinesiology degrees (sometimes even Master’s degrees in kinesiology), and yet, they don’t answer my interview questions any better than those without a degree, or with a 2-year diploma.
Our Approach to Professional Development
So how do we approach professional development? Our approach is very client-centered. In other words, our professional development starts with the client’s problem/issue.
See, a lot of personal trainers and fitness professionals have a “thing” that they like, and they try to use that “thing” for every client. For instance, one trainer might like kettlebells. Another trainer might like TRX, another trainer might like stretching, etc. So if you only have one tool in your toolbox, you’ll only use that tool. As the saying goes “if the only tool you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.”
We don’t have an allegiance to any specific tool or methodology. We only like those tools, only as long as they help us get the best possible result with our clients. And hey, if we come across a tool or method that helps us get even better results than we’re currently getting, we’ll make the switch.
So let’s say a client comes to us with a specific problem that we don’t have much experience working with. Maybe they want to use exercise to help their multiple sclerosis. So then, we “go to town” to learn as much as possible about that topic.
For the most part, we try to avoid mainstream books (although there are exceptions), and go more for the books that are academic, and are written for a professional audience. Not exactly the stuff that’s sold in Chapters/Indigo. We like to see what good research has to say on the topic. And we’ll typically go through 2-5 books like this.
So that’s the theoretical side of the issue. But we don’t want to neglect the “real world” aspects, either. So we actually visit sites like Yahoo Answers, Quora, and specific forums dedicated to the issue at hand to see what people in the “real world” are actually doing to help it.
The reason that we don’t look at research by itself is because sometimes, it’s playing “catch-up.” That is, something is being used by smart practitioners, but the research on their methods hasn’t been done yet. However, their results are there. And yet, it takes 3-20 years for the research to back up the methods of smart practitioners. I don’t have that kind of time.
And finally… measurements. As you know, we measure our clients obsessively at Fitness Solutions Plus. After all, “if you’re not assessing, you are guessing.” Sometimes you can read about a topic all you want, but at some point, you have to realize that you’re dealing with a living, breathing human being. Frequently, measuring clients, and analyzing the results can really add to your level of knowledge, beyond reading about a topic.
I give plenty of examples of lessons I’ve learned from measuring clients (as opposed to going to seminars, reading books, etc.) in this article.
And if you’re wondering what we measure: we measure whatever is relevant to the client. If a client’s goal is losing fat and gaining muscle, we measure those variables. For example, one of our honourable mentions for client of the year, 2015 was Gord. He didn’t care too much about muscle mass or fat loss. His goal was getting rid of his lower back pain. So what did we measure?
Frequency of lower back pain: before he started working with us, he experienced severe lower back pain 2-3 times per year. Nowadays, it’s about 0-1 times per year.
Duration of lower back pain: he would be in bed for an entire week as soon as his back “went out”, and an additional month after that avoiding lots of activities (like golf, tennis, playing with his grandkids, etc.), and being super careful. Nowadays, the back no longer “goes out”, but rather, it just “twinges.” And when it does “twinge”, it only lasts for 2-7 days, as opposed to 5 weeks.
Intensity of lower back pain: before he started working with us, on a 0-10 scale, he rate it an 11. As mentioned earlier, it would be bad enough for him to not be able to get out of bed for a week. Nowadays, even when his back twinges, it only hurts at a level of 4-6 out of 10.
This is an example of lower back pain, but the main point is: we measure what’s relevant to each individual client.
Measurements help us with the professional development side of things tremendously, because no matter what the theory says, and no matter how well a specific method has worked for other people, in front of us is a unique case, and what’s worked for others may or may not work for this person. Measurements tell us what’s going on. Because as Winston Churchill once said “no matter how elegant the methods, occasionally, you have to look at the results.”
How Much
On the topic of “how much” professional development I do, the answer is about 1-3 hours per day, 7 days per week. That’s been going on for about 11 or 12 years. For one thing, I do a lot of reading, and for another thing, whenever I’m in my car, I listen to an audiobook, lecture or podcast about exercise or nutrition.
I’m in my car for about an hour a day. Additionally, I plug in my audio book/podcast/lecture whenever I do cardio. So over the course of a month, I get about 35 hours of education by audio. 36 hours is the length of a university semester (when I went to York, each semester was 12 weeks, and classes were either one hour, 3 times per week, or 3 hours, once per week). So over the course of a month, I get the equivalent of a university semester. Over the course of a year, I get the equivalent of 12 semesters.
On the Topic of Memory
So with all this professional development, people remark to me how good my memory is. This is the case both when I speak to general audiences, or at personal training conferences, when my audience consists of 150 other personal trainers.
The good memory is not an accident. There are 3 specific reasons why my memory is as good as it is:
Reason #1: How to Develop a Super-Power Memory
When I was 17, I read a book called How to Develop a Super-Power Memory, by Harry Lorayne. That was very helpful.
It had useful strategies on:
- Memorizing long lists (like groceries, etc.)
- Memorizing foreign languages
- Memorizing names
- Memorizing numbers (these days, I can walk into a Chapters/Indigo, and ask for a book by its ISBN number, without looking at a piece of paper)
And the strategies are not something super complicated that you have to practice for years and years to get it. As soon as you know the strategies, you can use them immediately.
Original source: here.
Reason #2: Immediate Relevance/Application
The other reason my memory is as good as it is, is because I’m studying material that is of practical, immediate relevance. Again, since my professional development is so client-centered, whenever I’m reading a book, or listening to a podcast, I’m doing it with a specific client in mind (or sometimes, more than 1 specific client).
So I’m listening to strategies and tactics that I can apply with a specific person the very next day.
If you think my memory is good, well, it’s only the case with things I’m interested in. If you had seen me in high school, after physics, geometry and calculus classes, you’d be surprised with how bad my memory was, because nothing was going into my head. It was incredibly boring. My only purpose in studying those topics was to pass the test, and forget it ASAP. It’s called “academic bulimia.”
When something has immediate application, you can remember it a lot longer.
The saying goes that “you remember 10% of what you hear, 50% of what you see, 70% of what you do, and 90% of what you teach to others.” I don’t know how true those exact numbers are, but the concept is pretty good. Because for one thing, I’m teaching my clients about the information I’m learning, and for another thing, I’m teaching my audiences about what I’m learning, which is why it gets retained for so long.
Reason #3: Spaced Repetition
And the last component of having a good memory is spaced repetition. It’s no surprise that if you’re exposed to the same information more than once, you’ll remember it much better.
So here’s what I do: whenever I read a book, I summarize that book in a Word document. Why? Because 95-100% of every book is “fluff.” By “fluff”, I mean information that’s just used as “padding.” So in a 200-page book, that’s between 190-200 pages of fluff. Which means that only 0-10 pages of the book contain the real “meat.”
I summarize the little that isn’t fluff, so that if I want to review a book a few years later, I don’t have to go through 200 pages. I can just review my summary of it.
So as soon as I’m finished reading the book, that same day, I’ll read my summary of that book.
I’ll read my summary again one day later. And I’ll read the summary one more time one week later (I actually put it in my schedule to review).
In the past, I’ve read about 70-80 books per year (although keep in mind, in the last 6-7 years, some of that has been in the realms of marketing and sales… unrelated to fitness), but last month, I invested in speed reading software, which teaches you to read faster. So far, in the one month practicing it, I’ve taken my reading speed from about 260 words per minute, up to 420 words per minute (my ultimate goal is 1000 words per minute). So now, without spending any more time on reading, I’ll be able to get through a lot more books.
How am I able to read so much? Very simple. I don’t own a TV J So whenever someone asks me “did you see that episode of…” before they complete the sentence, I answer “no.” Some people watch TV for leisure. I read dense, academic textbooks about exercise and nutrition (last time I read fiction was in high school). When someone tells me that I have to watch some really good show on TV, what goes through my mind is “OK, there are 12 episodes per season, each episode is an hour, and there are 5 seasons. That’s 60 hours. If I spend 60 hours watching that show, how will I benefit from it? But what if I spend those 60 hours reading? Big benefits from the latter.”
Nothing against watching TV. The weather network is fantastic.
Anyways, back on track. Sometimes, I read books, and I don’t find that there’s anything in there worth taking notes on. So I don’t.
And if you’re curious which books I’ve read in the past, here’s a (more or less) complete list. This only lists the books that were good enough to make a summary from. About 20-30% of the books I read aren’t worthy of a summary (and again, a bunch of the books that I’ve read in the last 6-7 years have been in the realms of marketing and sales, so I didn’t include those here).
