Episode 18: How to Like Teaching Private Sessions

Movement Logic: Strong Opinions, Loosely Held

Welcome to Episode 18 of the Movement Logic podcast! In this episode, Laurel and Sarah discuss teaching privates, why we didn’t use to like teaching privates, and why we like it now.

• Charging differently based on how much commuting is involved
• The big reason we didn’t like teaching privates: no clear understanding of the goal.
• Students who talk too much and aren’t focused on the movement
• Students who have expectations but you don’t like teaching that way.
• Students with persistent pain and questioning your scope of practice.
• The game changer for Laurel: training strength clients with clear, trackable goals.
• The benefits of talking less and observing more.
• Admin is a bummer. How we avoid back-and-forth emailing and tracking clients down.
