Notes for UK personal trainers who run their own book

Practical pieces on programming and client care for coaches in the UK. Each one stands on its own, and each one ends with a short note on how CoachRack, our coaching app, handles the same job.

· Inside CoachRack

Clients who won't learn another app: what they see when they open CoachRack

· Programming

Five plain progression rules built on load, reps and RPE, a worked example, and where the rules still need your eye.

· Client care

How to keep clients training between sessions, and spot the ones drifting

Getting clients to log on their own, the one question to ask after every session, and a weekly sort that shows who needs a message first.
