You may or may not know that we are Number One in the UK on FreeIndex for the ‘fitness’ (out of 4,153) and Personal Trainer (1,824) categories.
Check out www.freeindex.co.uk/categories/arts_and_lifestyle/sports/fitness if you like 🙂
Been there for nearly 3 years now.
In 2011/2, just before we opened RISE, we both did 1:1 PT in a local Globo Gym.
And I was ranked as the #1 on the Club Trainer Register (out of about 1,400) for thirteen consecutive months.
Are we, and was I, really the very best in the country?
I wouldn’t imagine so.
In fact, no – definitely not.
I’m not arrogant enough to genuinely believe there isn’t anyone better in the country than us.
So, why are / were we number one?
We learned how to play that ‘game’.
And made sure we played it better than anyone else.
Neither system is capable of actually coming and assessing our ability to do what we do.
They have algorithms to rank, based on various criteria.
Clearly explained on those sites.
Sessions booked (through the site), feedback, qualifications, page views and more.
We can’t ‘fake’ any of this.
But we can ‘play the game’ and maximise how much of this stuff is recognised by the site.
We can’t force anyone to give us reviews, book sessions or look at our pages.
But we can send them a link and ask them nicely.
We can play the game and get the result we desire or not play it and not.
And it’s the same with our health and fitness efforts.
We can play that game and get want we want.
Or not.
Sure, there’s more to healthy eating than being in a calorie deficit (or maintenance when at a level we’re happy with).

Like there’s more to being a good FitPro than your customers doing things on a website.
But, if we have weight we want to lose, it doesn’t really matter what we’re doing if that deficit doesn’t underpin it.
That’s the ‘game’.
There are different ways to play it.
But play it we must.
Much love,
