But why should you be interested in your clients' mental health?
You are in the business of behaviour change. Successful long-term change comes from making good health-related decisions most of the time for a long time.
Making just one or two bad decision can reduce motivation, cause low mood and result in relapse. Sometimes an irreversible relapse!
To put it bluntly, you are in the results business, but your results can often be determined by things apparently outside of your control.
This can be frustrating, I know, and it can mean that you aren't enjoying your work as much as you could, or even should.
There's something you should know about the psychology of decision-making...
Happy people are more optimistic and resilient, they have stronger self-control and they make better decisions about their health.
I'm sure you know that our mood has a direct influence over our eating behaviours. Research has shown that when we are sad or down we eat comfort food, but when we are happy we are much more likely to eat fresh fruit and vegetables.
What's more, a Harvard study has shown that people who have a happier and more optimistic disposition are more likely to exercise regularly than their less happy counterparts. They also found that exercisers who had the highest levels of happiness were the least likely to become inactive over the study’s 11 year lifespan.
Potential clients are becoming much more discerning when it comes to their health and fitness. They are also very willing to shop around for someone who stands out from the rest.
Let's face it, you need more than bulging biceps or washboard abs to keep your clients motivated for long enough to get the results they demand.
When it comes to motivation the science is clear: emotion drives behaviour. Yes, you can use your vast reservoir of knowledge to advise people what to do, but there's something you should be aware of...
Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care!
So, happy people make better decisions, emotion drives behaviour and potential clients are looking for that something extra from their personal trainers. You are going to like this next bit...

Good mental health is about much more than the absence of anxiety or depression, it's about functioning at your full potential.
“ The recordings are easy to use as I continue to work on improving myself, moving forward in a more constructive way than I have achieved with any previous treatments. The videos helped me target some very specific problem areas in my life, and has given me a lifelong framework of self-help in the future.”
“Hypnotherapy has been so beneficial to me because it has helped my understanding of how all the different aspects of my anxiety are connected. It has provided me with practical ways to rewire my brain and change the way my anxiety is activated. I can’t believe that just last month I wanted to quit University!”
NICHE DOWN ON MENTAL HEALTH
23% of adults experienced anxiety or depression before the pandemic.
46% of adults experienced anxiety or depression in early 2021 (www.ons.gov.uk).
You can make a massive impact on the health of the nation, transform people's lives and open the door to a huge client base. But before you get too excited...
Adherence among those with anxiety and depression is notoriously poor. But all is not lost...
Because mindfulness, CBT and hypnotherapy are all proven to enhance mental health, increase adherence and greatly improve your client outcomes. You're back in the game!
Another niche market for you as a personal trainer is the area of persistent low back pain. As with poor mental health, it has a profound impact at the levels of the individual and wider society, given that it affects around one-third of the UK adult population each year. But again, similar to poor mental health, adherence is particularly poor among this group.
That's why all of the courses on the Online Clinic have specialist modules on pain psychology. Again, Mindfulness, CBT and Hypnotherapy are proven to help manage persistent pain. There's even a specialist module for Sleeping Better with Persistent Pain!
Research shows that persistent pain is closely related to poor mental health. If you want to expand into the markets of rehabilitation or special populations, partnering with Good Mental Health Online is a no-brainer!
Has there ever been a better time to add evidence based psychology to the exercise and dietary expertise that you are already delivering so effectively? Now is the time to take your business to the next level and become a complete mind and body health professional.
And your clients will love you for it!
As a health and fitness professional you know that your business flourishes when you attract and retain new clients.
Of course, your clients are your business but they are also your passion and you have a genuine desire to provide the very best service to every single one of them.
Good Mental Health Online is a unique initiative whereby personal trainers can send a clickable link to every one of their clients, opening the door to an entire online clinic of Mindfulness, CBT, hypnotherapy and 'Sleeping Better'!
Good mental health is about much more than the absence of anxiety or depression, it's about functioning at your full potential.

View some free samples from the Being Your Best package, which gives full access to the entire Online Clinic. Six comprehensive evidence-based courses that you can share with each and every one of your clients.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, the Gold Standard of all psychological interventions, which teaches you to improve your mental health by changing your thinking styles and your behavioural responses. Includes bonus section for using CBT in pain management.
____________________
Mindfulness meditation, which brings you out of 'doing mode' and into the therapeutic here and now of 'being mode'. This course includes short meditations, such as One Week to Calm as well as longer meditations like Breathing in Colour and the Mindfulness Body Scan.
____________________
Pain Education is central to something known as the biopsychosocial model of health and illness, which is the most up-to-date, evidence-based approach to managing pain. Once you understand that your pain is an experience that incorporates biological, psychological and social elements, you can see more clearly how you will benefit from psychologically informed treatment modalities.
____________________
Hypnotherapy, an evidence-based course that teaches deep relaxation alongside techniques for emotional control and thought restructuring, which I refer to as giving your thoughts the LASER treatment. Imagery rescripting sessions will reprogram your brain to respond more confidently in situations that once caused anxiety. Includes audio recordings for controlling pain.
____________________
Sleeping Better is a comprehensive approach that combines sleep education with sleep hygiene, blended with instruction for self-hypnosis, which creates 'theta wave' activity of the brain. This matches the brain activity of stage 3 sleep, from where you will gently drift down into deep, refreshing sleep. Includes audio recordings for sleeping better with pain.

If you work in the business of behaviour change, or even if you are a parent, a friend, a manager or a colleague, you might have noticed that that telling people what to do doesn't work. In fact, worse than that, it actually reinforces resistance to change! You can read all about in my book 'Motivation and the Solution Focused Mindset', and you can learn how to become an expert communicator making use of motivational interviewing within a solution focused framework.
____________________
'How to Win Friends and Influence Clients' is for primarily for those who work in the behaviour change business, but it's just as relevant to anyone who interacts with other people - so that's you! It begins with an understanding of the power of belief, then develops strategies for effective information-giving in ways that will not disrupt the other person's belief systems. In other words, you'll never get into a disagreement with your clients, your colleagues or anyone!
Here's a sample clip just to give you a feel for things.
____________________
In my videos I speak clearly but slowly, so if you want to speed me up just click the gear icon on the video above, then click "speed", then 1.25x to move me along more quickly - it works surprisingly well!! What's more, I recently read about some research that watching a lecture twice at double speed can benefit learning better than watching it once at normal speed. Give it a go!
So now you know, when the world contradicts our beliefs rather than change our beliefs we'll distort our world to protect them.
