The client should do the research on what they’re signing up for; but, at the same time, I don’t know that we’ve done a good enough job at educating to be able to teach somebody how to discern, “Is this the right workout for me?”

EFR 506: Holding Fitness Trends Accountable and Why More Training Does Not Equal Better Results with Krysta Huber
The fitness world was dramatically shaken up during the past year-and-a-half—and with it our own goals. With gyms and other fitness establishments finally opening up, how do we get back on track and move forward in an industry that has transformed in so many ways?
Krysta is a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach who is the founder of The Fitness FYX brand and the FYX Studio platform. She is the host of THE FYX podcast, a show which covers “all things fitness, nutrition, love, loss, personal and professional relationships, entrepreneurship, being a damn millennial, and embracing that stereotype.”
Listen in as Krysta gives us her thoughts on getting unstuck and taking proactive steps toward your health and fitness goals in the new normal.
She explains the double-edged sword that is the ease of becoming certified as a coach nowadays. She says that this means personal accountability has become one of the biggest keys to breaking through the noise as a trainer—especially boutique ones like herself. Krysta says that trainers now have the responsibility to perform a self-audit to ensure continuous improvement in their specialties.
For both trainers and trainees, she reminds us that more training doesn’t necessarily equal better training and to not become distracted by the increasing complexity and the bells and whistles of the modern fitness industry.

Powerful Quotes by Krysta Huber

It’s not “should’ve”, “would’ve”, or “could’ve”. It’s, what can you literally do right in this moment, today?
Be okay with the fact that change is the one thing that is always guaranteed and that you’ve just got to roll with it even if it doesn’t go exactly how you want it to.
