Have you noticed it? There’s been a real surge of qualified Personal Trainers entering the health and fitness industry. On the one hand, this is excellent: the demand for PTs has increased as more people adopt a healthier lifestyle and improve their fitness. This creates an exciting industry where everyone is striving for a common goal; plus, more Personal Trainers like you are finding lots of work. On the other hand, it creates greater competition for Personal Trainers; if you possess the same skill-set, you’re all competing to gain and retain the same clients. It becomes more challenging to sell yourself and your skills.

Can healthy eating include treats? Yes! Even fitness models use treats as a fat-loss strategy. Here's how it works. You might think that fitness fanatics eat nothing but lean protein and green vegetables all day long, seven days a week. That's the only way to get and maintain a shredded physique, right? Not quite. Many fitness fans enjoy a treat here and there, and some use treat meals to turbo-charge their fat loss. The case is that in 2017 a study took place by the International Journal of Obesity, which found that people who took a two-week break from the diets lost more weight than those who dieted consistently.

When walking down the supermarkets aisles it’s easy to get sucked in by 'low sugar' and 'low fat labels'. Different brands and food labels claim they have half the fat and less calories, but realistically they are replacing these ingredients with something else. When choosing your food for the week, always make sure you read the ingredient and nutritional information, which should be easily found on the packaging. Keep an eye out for higher sugar or fat levels, especially those claiming no sugar, as they replace the sugar content with sweeteners, which can be even more harmful to your body.
