How to Use Voice Messages as a Personal Trainer

There are many ways to use voice notes as a personal trainer, here are our top 4. 

#1: Personalized encouragement

First, personalized encouragement is a powerful way to uplift and inspire clients on their fitness journey. Voice messages allow you to convey genuine emotion and support, therefore, strengthening your connection with clients.

So, whether it’s acknowledging their progress, praising their efforts, or offering words of encouragement during challenging times, voice messages add a personal touch that resonates deeply with clients. Ultimately motivating them to push through obstacles and stay committed to their goals.

#2: Timely motivation

Next, as you know, consistent motivation is essential for keeping clients engaged and focused on their fitness goals. Therefore, voice notes offer a convenient and timely way to provide motivation whenever it’s needed most.

So whether it’s a quick pep talk before a challenging workout, a motivational message to kickstart the week, or a reminder of their progress and potential, voice messages have the ability to help clients feel supported and empowered to keep pushing towards their goals, no matter what obstacles they may face.

#3: Reinforcing accountability

Additionally, accountability is key to success in any fitness journey. And, voice messages have the ability to help reinforce that sense of responsibility and commitment.

Therefore use voice notes to check in with clients regularly. For example, discuss their progress, address any challenges they may be facing, and offer support and guidance to keep them on track. By holding clients accountable in a supportive and non-judgmental way, you help them stay focused and motivated, ultimately leading to better results.

So, whether it’s pointing out areas for improvement, praising achievements, or providing tips and suggestions for overcoming challenges, voice messages are able to help you ensure that clients receive the guidance they need to succeed.

How to Use Voice Messages in Your Personal Training Process

Now that we have a better understanding of why voice messages are important, it’s time to look at where you can incorporate them into your PT process. 

Your onboarding procedures

First, your onboarding procedure is the perfect place to use voice messages. Here’s some ways to do it: 

• Welcome new clients with a personalized voice note. For example, introduce yourself and set expectations for the coaching relationship.
• Or, try using voice messages to gather important information about clients’ goals, preferences, and any potential challenges they may face.

Your weekly check-ins

Next, weekly check-ins are a great way to use voice messages to interact with your clients. For example, you can: 

• Conduct weekly check-ins with clients via voice notes. For example, have them tell you about what their challenges and wins were for the week and reply via voice notes.
• Use voice notes to celebrate achievements. For example, weight loss goals, weekly workout milestines, etc. 

Your big milestone celebrations

Similarly, big milestone celebrations are a perfect opportunity to let your clients know you’ve got their back. Here’s how: 

• Mark milestones and achievements with personalized voice messages, congratulating clients on their progress and highlighting their hard work and dedication.
• Next, use voice notes to provide encouragement and motivation as clients work towards their next milestone or goal.

Your product recommendations 

Next, voice messages are a perfect opportunity to let your client know you’re thinking about them and their goals by highlighting some products that might help them get there faster. For example: 

• Try making tailored suggestions: Provide personalized product recommendations through voice notes, guiding clients towards supplements, equipment, or apparel that aligns with their fitness journey.
• Additionally, provide educational insight. For example, use voice notes to explain the benefits of recommended products and how they can enhance clients’ training experience and results.
