FITLETE Radio: Coach’s Spotlight: Let’s Meet Dylan Mayorquin
About Dylan Mayorquin
Dylan Mayorquin is the founder and head coach at Integra Fitness in Nashville, where he leads a tight-knit team of coaches specializing in one-on-one personal training. With three years at the helm of his gym, Dylan has evolved from an education-focused coach into a business-savvy owner, passionate about collaboration, evidence-based practice, and building authentic client relationships.
Quotes from Dylan
“Our job is to help this person find their trainable menu—the things that we can do right now that are going to still move them towards their goals without causing more harm.”
“What I think makes a coach a great coach... is the coaches who are great communicators. That means knowing how to listen, being empathetic, and working with your clients, not just telling them what to do.”
“I feel like if you're not using some sort of AI to support your business at this point, you're probably falling behind. Other businesses are going to be able to put out stuff so much faster than you.”
Key Takeaways
* Collaboration is Key: Dylan emphasizes working closely with clients to identify a “trainable menu”; focusing on what clients can do despite aches, injuries, or limitations. He promotes staying within a trainer’s scope and referring to specialists when necessary.
* Empathetic, Evidence-Based Coaching: He focuses on educating clients “gently”- never dismissively; and uses social media and email to bust fitness myths in accessible ways.
* Goal Assessment: Dylan helps clients prioritize and balance multiple goals, being realistic about what can be achieved simultaneously, and values clients who arrive with specific motivations.
* Soft Skills Matter: For Dylan, communication and empathy outweigh certifications alone; he would hire someone with strong people skills over a purely credentialed candidate lacking personality.
* Smart Tech Use: While still taking an “old school” approach to programming (pen and paper!), Dylan leverages AI tools (like ChatGPT) for content editing, and billing/scheduling platforms to streamline business operations.
