Description

Day 1 Friday, August 12th 8:30am – 9:00am | Registration 9:00am – 9:30 | Welcome and Introduction with Michelle Martinez 9:30am – 10:20am | So You Want To Be A Fitness Writer? by Andrew Coates This presentation explores the value of developing your writing skill, the value of embracing writing as part of your fitness career, and a path to follow to develop writing skills and pursue getting published. 10:30am – 11:20am | Scaling Up: How to Do More, Make More and Make a Bigger Impact as a Personal Trainer by Logan Dube Good Personal Trainers are essential and in high-demand. But the limiting factors of the traditional billable hours model leads to burn out, turnover and passionate & meaningful careers cut short. The first 1-5 years is a crucial time for trainers to do the work, make mistakes, learn and grow. But after a certain competency and systematic success is achieved, there are actually lots of ways to scale up that allow trainers to do more, make more and make a bigger impact in their businesses and communities. 11:30am – 12:30pm | Using Your Superpowers (And Avoiding Your Kryptonite): A Change Maker’s Guide to Building A Heroic Career by Andrea Hayes You’ll spend about 90K hours at work. How much would it suck if all that time was spent doing the wrong work, for the wrong people, in the wrong ways? During this 60-minute presentation Andrea Hayes will help you avoid that trap, showing you how to steer clear of common health and fitness mistakes while plotting a heroic career using your individual origin story, your unique abilities, and your personal values. 12:30pm – 2:00pm | Catered Lunch 2:00pm – 2:50pm | Healthcare Collaboration from the Perspective of a Coach: Build a Network that Matters by Nick Lambe Collaboration is the key to success and to long term health solutions. However, ego and a lack of systems around how to collaborate can make it difficult. MDs learn from and connect with other MDs while coaches learn from and connect with other coaches. This leaves each type of practitioner with a lack of understanding and appreciation for the other. An integrative and collaborative model is the way of the future and it comes from breaking down these barriers. Specifically as a coach, you have more opportunities and contact points to impact an individual’s long term health than anyone else. This only happens if you truly embrace the role and responsibility that comes along with it. A huge component of this is your willingness to collaborate and your effectiveness in doing so. Building a robust network of other practitioners that you can refer to (and receive referrals from), lean on for guidance and work alongside. In this presentation, we will introduce a framework to effectively collaborate within healthcare and build a network that reaps benefits for your clients and your business 3:00pm – 3:50pm | Making Motivation Work for Your Clients by Allan Bacon Motivation is a fleeting thing. Sometimes it comes on strong and pushes us to new heights, at other times, lack thereof acts as an almost insurmountable roadblock. But what if we could use motivation from time to time not only to give our efforts a much-needed boost, but also to support learning the new habits and systems that will lead us to success? This is where Self Determination Theory comes into play. Self Determination Theory provides a detailed framework to understand what inspires us to action beyond abstract concepts such as willpower, motivation, and personality. Whether it’s for your client’s benefit or for your own life and business, a deeper understanding of motivation can be the key to optimizing long-term chances of success. 4:00pm – 4:50pm | Programming Advanced Training Techniques For Gen Pop Clients by Calvin Huynh There are endless advanced training techniques like drop sets, rest pause, forced reps, myo-reps, cluster sets, post activation potentiation, blood flow restriction training, accommodating resistance, loaded stretching, pre-exhaust, and eccentric overload. While they are called advanced, they can be a fun, novel, and applicable way to keep general population clients engaged in training while educating them beyond boring traditional sets. It’s vital to learn which ones are more applicable than others. We'll be covering the current evidence on each advanced training technique, analyzing the pros/cons, discussing common myths, and going over how/when to program them for clients practically. 6:00pm – 9:00pm | Networking Social (location TBD) ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Day 2 Saturday, August 13th 8:30am – 9:00am | Registration 9:00am – 9:30am | Welcome, Introduction with Michelle Martinez 9:30am – 10:20am | Hybrid Resistance Training: An Optimal Rep by Charlie McMillin Resistance Training (RT) machines were originally designed in the mid 1800s to provide a more reliable, objective, and precise substitute for trainers that were predominately using a form of manual force application called duplicated movements. Although machines improved the reliability and objectivity of RT, they could not provide the level of individualization such as that of a trainer using duplicated movements. The shape of a machine resistance curve (MRC), which is a function of its design, rarely matches the needs of a single individual from rep to rep, much less all individuals. With this understanding in mind, if a trainer knows how to analyze the available MRCs of each machine, they can create unique, individualized, hybrid RT experiences for clients that lead to lifelong relationships. 10:30am – 11:20am | Inclusivity in Fitness: Training the Aging Population by Lavanya Krishnan The mainstream fitness narrative can often be focused on younger populations and geared solely towards weight loss. However, as our life expectancy increases, are we merely adding years to life or ensuring that we add life to our years? Older adults are at a higher risk of injury or death resulting from a fall, and this risk increases with age. Strength training, flexibility, balance and mobility work can be instrumental in improving the overall fitness and activities of daily living of the aging population. Regular physical activity in older adults has been shown to have various benefits: improvement in physical and mental health, delay in the onset of dementia and a protective factor against various diseases. Drawing upon my experiences in training older adults for over a decade, I aim to highlight how personal training, utilizing public health principles, can help populations maintain a healthy lifestyle in their golden years. 11:30am – 12:30pm | The Heart of the Matter: Understanding Heart Disease in Your Clients by Brad Dieter For the last half century, heart disease has been the leading cause of death among people in the developed world, with the disease burden continuing to increase along with climbing obesity rates. This talk will demystify the causes of heart disease and discuss how the health & fitness professional can understand and address heart disease with their clients. 12:30pm – 2:00pm | Catered Lunch 2:00pm – 2:50pm | Getting Our Clients “UnStuck”: The Art & Science of Change by Mike Howard One of our most important (if not, THE most important) jobs as coaches, personal trainers and therapists is to help get our clients “unstuck”. We will explore the biology, psychology and environmental elements of what keeps clients (and often their coaches) stuck in place. We will proceed on a journey of practical, evidence-based and empathic ways to help our clients break through both real and perceived obstacles to progress. Along the way we will upack largely misunderstood topics such as; Motivation, rewards, mindset and habits. Along the way we will delve into topics ranging from story editing to future thinking, mindfulness to meta-skills. Equip yourself with the best toolbox for unlocking change. 3:00pm – 3:50pm | Where diets fail: Utilizing weight neutral approaches to improve outcomes in weight maintenance by Jeb Stuart Johnston We’ve all heard the statistic that 80% of diets fail. But do they really? When we say that “diets don’t work” it refers to sustainability. We are actually great at losing weight, we just suck at keeping it off. Because we keep approaching maintenance the same way we do dieting. Macros, calories and weighing/measuring food. Pathologizing our daily life. Instead, let’s borrow from the anti-diet crowd and utilize weight neutral approaches when it comes to weight loss maintenance. 4:00pm – 4:50pm | 10 Principles for Delivering More Effective Resistance Training Sessions by Luke Carlson Personal training sessions should both (1) stimulate positive physiological adaptations and (2) deliver exceptional customer experiences that contribute to long-term retention, referrals, and profitable revenue. This presentation will meld the resistance training science with the “art” to provide 10 guiding principles that fitness professionals can build their programming and client experience around. 6pm – 9pm | After Party and Shuffleboard at The Viking Bar and Grill ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Want to workout while you are attending the conference?
