"There's always something you can learn - even if you've learned it already, you can view it from a different perspective." - Luis Benitez
This week, Lauren has the chance to speak with NYC-Native Personal Trainer, Luis Benitez. His experience transitioning from having a completely inactive childhood to participating in races and weightlifting competitions as an adult, has been framed by his involvement with teams. Focusing on performance goals and making improvements within his athleticism has proven to result in achieving the aesthetic goals that led him to fitness as an obese child.
Luis stresses the importance of learning how to meet your clients where they are - "it's your responsibility as the professional." Whether that be in regard to remaining relatable or making an effort to learn their interests and relate fitness concepts to them in ways they would best understand.
