It’s a perfectly understandable assumption that we’re here to give advice.
We’re often asked for it.
But, I’ll be honest, we try and avoid giving it.
It’s fairly pointless you see.
The definition of advice is “guidance or recommendations offered with regard to prudent future action”.
It’s, essentially, telling someone what to do.
Often unsolicited.
The thing is though, people already know what to do.
There’ll be higher return on investment activities sure.
But to suggest that people don’t know how to eat better and exercise more than they are is quite the insult to their intelligence.
Most advice you’d get from most FitPros is pretty disappointing.
“I already knew that” we’re likely to think.
Ultimately advice usually solves the wrong problem.
It’s, at best, the right answer to the wrong question.
And definitely the same answer we’ve had to that question before.
And done somewhere between nothing and “not enough” with it.
What we do is help ask better questions.
To lead to the answers that will serve us better.
To coach, not instruct.
To usually go a bit deeper than the “what to do”.
To find what’s stopping that happening.
To open up those “bottlenecks”.
Changing our beliefs, thoughts and habits is much harder than just being given a list of instructions.
But it’s much more likely to lead to the results we want (it’s www.myrise.co.uk/apply if you want actual results, with a money back guarantee, rather than the same advice you’ve already had countless times and just renting access to some equipment).
