Are you tired of quick-fix solutions that don’t stick?
If you’ve ever hired a personal trainer to lose weight, you probably lost some pounds… but did they stay off? Most people blame themselves when the weight comes back, but here’s the truth: it’s not your fault.
In my latest podcast episode, I sit down with my fellow coach Mollie Huckerby to discuss why seeing a personal trainer for weight loss might set you up for failure — and what you need to do instead.
In our conversation, we explain why the standard weight loss model is all about surface-level results that only last while you’re highly motivated. But what happens when life gets in the way? The weight returns, and you’re left feeling frustrated and defeated.
The problem isn’t you or your willpower—it’s that personal trainers are often focused on quick wins without addressing the root causes of your struggles.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why weight loss is 90% psychological — and how to tap into the mindset shifts you really need.
The real reason self-sabotage keeps creeping in, even when you’re doing “everything right.”
How to break free from the cycle of temporary weight loss and finally achieve lasting results.
