Really good post on what matters to customers. We as consumers don't always care about all the toys, certs, or backgrounds our service providers. We care about good and GREAT experiences.
Alloy Podcast: Exercise and Fitness Truths with Alan Aragon
Really good on a few common myths in fitness work. Alan does a ton of research on all things fitness. I might join his paid research based newsletter after listening to this podcast.

Parallel, Staggered, and Split-Stance Explained - Robertson Training Systems
Good review of foot positions and when to use them. This is a great way to plus or minus exercises you are doing with your clients. Sometimes your client can't do a 1 leg deadlift. But can they do a split deadlift? Right person in the right position

Instead, do this: Start with the...
One of the biggest challenges many face in maintaining our fitness routine is the feeling that, "I don't have time." But the reality is, we all possess the same amount of time—it's a matter of priorities and mindset. Let's start with mindset. Often, our perceived lack of time stems from ingrained beliefs rather than actual constraints.
