Most Fitness Trainers Are NOT Equipped to Help You w/ Dr. Sean Pastuch

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Sean Pastuch to explore what it really takes to be an effective coach in today’s fitness landscape. Sean breaks down why most trainers aren’t equipped to truly help people, especially when pain and movement limitations are involved. We talk about the importance of thinking like a problem solver instead of just counting reps and why understanding pain as a threat to someone’s way of life, not just a physical symptom, matters more than most coaches realize.

Sean also explains the in-depth intake system he uses at Active Life and how it helps coaches understand the full picture. We touch on why effective communication is one of the most underrated skills in coaching, how chasing perfection can do more harm than good, and why the fitness industry needs to set its own standards instead of waiting on outdated systems like insurance to catch up.

If you're a coach, trainer, or anyone trying to help people move better and feel better, this episode is about raising the standard and owning the responsibility that comes with being a true coach.
