Here's how you can thrive as a functional training expert in corporate wellness programs.

Spend time with HR and/or any other shareholders in the programme. They are often very stressed and struggle with making their own health and wellness a priority. Anything you can do to reduce their workload will be appreciated. Research the CEO's attitude towards his/her staff and how high staff health is on their personal priority list. Depending on the privacy laws in your region, talk to the HR person (or your direct contact) about specific challenges the company sees, in terms of the health and wellness of its employees. e.g. how many hours are lost annually due to illness? Keep the programme simple up-front, and look for ways to add more value, as you learn more about the participants and the shareholders.

In my experience, expertise is a combination of knowledge, practice, communication and execution. If all these components are applied in a way that someone can understand and replicate it for themselves and maintain that for a long period of time, then it’s a win. But this isn’t something that just happens. It’s something that must be developed by the trainer over a period of time.

Stay current with the latest research and trends in functional training and corporate wellness. Obtain and maintain relevant certifications to establish credibility and demonstarte your mommmitment to professional development.

I agree. Credibility is really where the foundation of your success comes from. Education is great but results speak more to the difference you’re making. Building a solid portfolio that is balanced with both education and results is what you want to strive for.

Work closely with HR departments and corporate leaders to ensure alignment with company policies and strategic objectives. Engage with employee wellness committees to gather insights and foster a sense of ownership among emplyees.

Offer individualixed training plans based on fitness assessmennts and personal goals. Conduct group classes taht foster team building and engagements while focusing on functional movements. Provide educational session on topics like ergonomics, mobility, and injury prevention.

Embody the principles of functional fitness and wellness in your own life, serving as a role model for employees. Encourage the company to create a supportive environmental that promotes healthy behaviors, such as providing healthy snacks, standing desks, and flexxible break times for physical activity.

Im deutschen Raum ist der Einstieg in die Arbeit im Bereich BGM nicht immer leicht. Eine entsprechende Qualifikation vorausgesetzt, kann es anfangs durchaus Sinn machen, sich als Freelancer einem oder mehrere BGM-Dienstleister anzubieten. Diese übernehmen die Organisation und Abrechnung von Ma?nahmen in Betrieben, so dass sich ein Einsteiger erstmal auf die eigentlich Durchführung konzentrieren kann. Sp?ter kann man immer noch selbst in den Vordergrund treten und auf eigene Rechnung mit den Firmen im Rahmen von Gesundheitsma?nahmen zusammenarbeiten.
