 LISTEN ON APPLE PODCASTS

Small group coaching and online programs are always being touted as what is best for you as a health or fitness professional, but is that actually true?

There are massive benefits to small group coaching which I will outline here today, but I’d also like to introduce to the forgotten side of 1-on-1 coaching (in-person or virtual) and why it may just be better for you and your clients…

Tune into today’s Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess podcast 070 for the debate on which is better: Small Group vs. 1-on-1 Coaching – Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments!

SHOW HIGHLIGHTS & KEY TAKEAWAYS

  1. Small Group Coaching
    This service enables you to either provide a set program or work with a group of like minded individuals that offers semi-private instruction as a whole. It can be quite emotionally and financially rewarding when you reach critical mass.

  2. 1-on-1 Coaching
    Working 1-1 with a client allows you to go deep on their needs and allows for a natural relationship to be created. This relationship and the results you get them often leads to a long-term client and a more secure schedule.

  3. What’s Better?
    Part of choosing what is better is based on your needs, your clients needs, and your interest level. You can earn a great income doing either, but they are very different business models and I suggest going all in on one at least in the beginning after listening to today’s show and making the right decision for you!
