What is COACHING?

The other day, I got into a discussion with a prospective student about our program and how it can lead to some real life changes. I went on to explain that we provide fitness and nutrition coaching, specifically CrossFit and The Paleo Diet. This got me thinking about what "coaching" really is and why it is so important to the success of our students! Here's what I found as a definition of Coaching: "Coaching is a method of directing, instructing and training a person or group of people, with the aim to achieve some goal or develop specific skills. There are many ways to coach, types of coaching and methods to coaching. Sessions are typically one-on-one either in-person or over the telephone. Direction may include motivational speaking. Training may include seminars, workshops, and supervised practice." This Wikipedia definition matches the LALANNE FITNESS program to a "T" and describes exactly what it is we've been doing for the past 2 years. We're a small group CrossFit training program that helps each individual reach personal goals while developing fitness, nutrition and lifestyle skills. Training includes fitness and nutrition related seminars, workshops and classes which include supervised practice!
