Somebody asked me the other day, “What are the other clients like that come into the studio?” I think they really wanted to know if there would be others in group sessions who would be similar to them in terms of age and health goals.
The question had me thinking about how I would describe most of our clients who come in to the studio and I came up with a few key characteristics that I wanted to share with you!
Our clients are learners! They really appreciate having time to learn more about how their body works, learn more about how they can use movement to feel better and improve their health. They really embrace their exercise time not just as something they do to lose weight or look a certain way, but as a way to practice things that help them maintain and improve their health.
Our clients love to know why we have them doing things and what it does for their body (and we love sharing that knowledge!) Our clients will often ask questions about why they are doing something and they will often ask their instructors for ideas on how they can continue to work on specific things outside of the studio. Our clients love to know that the exercises they are doing are helping them do things like improve their balance, strengthen their bones and stay mobile.
Our clients exercise to improve their health and they truly appreciate that movement helps their body feel better and is a health tool in their life. Want to know how I know this? Each week so many of our clients come into their sessions not feeling so great in their bodies! You read that right…they come in to exercise even though things hurt or they don’t feel the best in their body because they know that the way to feel better is to move their body!!
Each session when we ask clients how they are feeling at the beginning of their session we hear them say things like….my low back is sore today, I’ve been really noticing my knee hurting this week, or my shoulder feels really tight. Our clients know that when they come in to their session their teacher will help them practice a whole body workout that feels appropriate for their body and they know they will feel better when they leave!
Our clients are confident knowing that they won’t ever be pressured to do an exercise or movement that doesn’t feel good in their body. Our clients know that their teacher will adapt their session to them so they can improve their strength and mobility in a safe way. Our clients know that a regular movement practice helps their body feel the best!
So what do you think…did my general description of our clients sound like you? What other characteristics did I miss? Email me and let me know!!
If you need any help scheduling sessions or have any questions remember you can always just send me an email! I would love to hear from you!
