In this solo episode of Fitness Business Insights with Matt Robinson, I unpack the accountability illusion. A trap that many coaches fall into when they confuse tracking with real coaching.
You’ll learn how to shift from passive check-ins to proactive coaching, why softening standards damages long-term results, and how to scale accountability without burning yourself out. Plus, I share the exact five-step Accountability Loop I use with clients and how it impacts retention and referrals in a fitness business.
