Navigating Training Around Pain

Pain can be one of the biggest obstacles in training—limiting progress, dampening motivation, and making clients hesitant to push forward. But as coaches, our job is to show them that movement is still possible, progress is still within reach, and results can still happen—even with limitations.


The ability to navigate around pain, modify workouts, and keep clients moving builds trust, strengthens the coach-client relationship, and empowers them to stay consistent. Having go-to strategies for pain-free training not only enhances your expertise but also positions you as the coach who keeps clients in the game, helping them stay strong while working toward being pain-free.
