We love what you do…

By 9 December 2019Health, Triathlon

At Fitsets we love what you do, we are passionate about healthy & active lifestyles and enjoy assisting people grow and achieve their goals. It’s why we started FitSets!

Underpinning our services is our manifesto outlining the principles we apply to our coaching. These are derived from our values, values shared by our clients. We actually discuss these principles with prospective clients to ensure we have a match, ensuring we have alignment.

It’s a choice, if prospective client does not  agree with the principles then it’s best they approach another service provider. There’s no right or wrong, no judgement. We have our approach, “we teach what we practice”.

Open communication, both ways, is important to a coaching engagement. Occasionally we have clients who have differing principles, some we can accommodate, others can lead to an amicable end to the coaching arrangement.

Some mismatch examples include, but not limited to:  

  • a persistent desire to train more than recovery allows (over-training)
  • excessive high intensity training above the 80/20
  • an unhealthy obsession with race goals compromising a healthy lifestyle
  • an unhealthy relationship with poor quality foods & supplements

We are passionate about helping clients to move towards healthy and productive training practices. For more details have a read our FitSets Training Guidelines and Principles.
