As a CrossFit coach, the journey of growth and learning is constant. Here are five things I wish I knew sooner that could benefit both new and seasoned coaches:

1. Every Client Is Unique

One of the first things I wish I understood earlier is that no two clients are the same. Whether it’s fitness levels, goals, mental blocks, or even personal motivation, each person comes to the gym with their unique set of circumstances. As a coach, it’s crucial to customize workouts, offer different progressions, and use individual strategies for encouragement.

Lesson Learned: There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to fitness. Tailoring workouts and support to each client yields better results and builds stronger relationships.

2. The Importance of Communication Skills

Fitness coaching isn’t just about knowing the technical aspects of exercise and nutrition. I wish I had realized sooner how critical communication is to my success as a coach. Whether it’s explaining a complex movement, addressing a client’s concerns, or providing feedback, how you communicate makes all the difference.

Lesson Learned: Effective, clear, and compassionate communication fosters trust and improves results for clients.

3. Mindset Is Just as Important as Physical Fitness

I quickly learned that coaching is about more than physical training—it’s also about helping clients develop a positive mindset. Many people struggle with self-doubt, fear of failure, or feeling overwhelmed, and these mental roadblocks can prevent them from reaching their goals.

Lesson Learned: A fitness coach must also be a mindset coach, helping clients overcome mental barriers, build confidence, and stay committed.

4. Progress Takes Time

In the beginning, I wanted to help clients see results fast. But what I wish I knew earlier is that sustainable fitness is a long-term commitment. Clients can get discouraged if they don’t see immediate changes, but understanding that progress takes time and managing expectations from the start is key.

Lesson Learned: Patience is a critical part of fitness coaching. Helping clients embrace the journey and celebrate small victories keeps them motivated and focused on long-term success.

5. Building a Community is Essential

When I started coaching, I focused on individual results. What I didn’t realize is the impact of building a strong, supportive fitness community. Clients thrive in an environment where they feel part of something bigger, where they can connect, encourage each other, and celebrate wins together.

Lesson Learned: A coach who fosters a sense of community creates an environment where clients are more likely to stay engaged, motivated, and accountable.
