In this episode, I sit down with Coach, Educator and Founder of The Exercise Mechanic, Etienne Asselin.   Etienne is a bi-lingual personal trainer and educator with 15+ years of experience based out of Geneva, Switzerland. He offers in-person, online, and hybrid exercise solutions for both sensitized populations and athletes alike. He believes in taking a collaborative approach to coaching that prioritizes mutual understanding, compassion and sustainability.
As an educator he believes his primary responsibility is to cultivate the minds of my students with their long-term development in mind. For this reason all of the courses through The Exercise Mechanic prioritize critical thinking and learning the "why" behind the "what and the how". His goal is to elevate the standard of care in the fitness industry by fostering a clinical understanding of personal training, one trainer at a time.

We discuss:
The origin story
Academic struggles turning into teaching
The power of parallel thinking
Frustration as a motivator to serve
What am I missing?
The commonality of the drive to serve in the fitness industry
The fitness industry as a health care powerhouse
Leveraging a value driven business that scales
Creating and fostering relationships within the coaching practice
Communication as the main lever
Service and sales bottlenecks
Everything you care about takes something from you
Lessons learned from clients
