Firstbeat for Fitness Professionals – Case Studies from 3 of the UK’s Top Personal Trainers

Firstbeat’s pioneering technology has been used for 20 years by more than 23,000 professional athletes and 1,000+ sports teams around the world. Now fitness coaches and personal trainers also have the opportunity to access this world-leading technology for use with their clients.

For personal trainers, there are multiple advantages of using Firstbeat Life. Here are just a few examples of how some of the UK’s top PTs have benefitted so far:

Luke Worthington – Elite Personal Trainer ?

Luke Worthington is a personal trainer to the elite. From Hollywood actors to Olympic athletes, his portfolio of high calibre clientele is testament to his 20+ years of experience in the industry.?Luke’s unique, holistic approach to training, coaching client’s physical and mental wellbeing has the biggest impact upon those he works with.?

Firstbeat offers truly valuable insights to personal trainers and their clients by providing reliable and accurate data on stress, sleep, recovery, and exercise. Luke says:

“Firstbeat enables me to move from having anecdotal conversations about someone's state of well-being to being able to show them actual numbers and information. The more information you can provide a client, the more likely they are able to successfully adhere to a programme.”?

While successful personal trainers are skilled in creating unique training plans that complement the abilities of each client, having access to the Firstbeat Life data means these plans can be tailored to respond to the client’s health metrics on any given day. This could mean tapering a session back when periods of limited recovery and high stress are present, helping to improve the client’s overall wellbeing over time.?Luke says:

“I can see the data before I meet with clients and think right, I've already changed the plan because I already know that you're not feeling it before I’ve even met you. That is very useful.”

Joey Bull – UK Fitness Champion & Personal Trainer

Joey Bull is a UK Fitness Champion, acclaimed personal trainer, and Bioregulatory Medicine practitioner with a focus on optimising health and wellbeing in midlife clients.

With over 30 years’ experience within the fitness industry, Joey understands that there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to health and fitness when it comes to working with her personal training clients.

For Joey, using Firstbeat Life allows her to create better, long-lasting relationship with her clients. She says:

“Integrating Firstbeat Life into my training gives me and my clients more than just data. The data is insightful and can lead to meaningful changes for the client, helping me to deepen individual client relationships.”

Joey believes that taking a preventative approach to health is imperative as we grow older and become at greater risk of degenerative well-being. By using Firstbeat Life, ongoing trends of high stress can be easily tracked and reduced by making small lifestyle changes; preventing this trigger from becoming harmful to the client.

Shaq Porteous – UK Personal Trainer & Mental Health Advocate

Shaq Porteous is an experienced personal trainer and Mental Health and Support Worker for vulnerable young people within the YMCA. Shaq’s passion for enhancing mental health through exercise and movement has been the driving force throughout his career, and his work integrating Firstbeat Life allows him to take his business to the next level and get more PT clients.

Shaq believes that using Firstbeat allows him to offer a unique service, where clients are more likely to supplement their personal training sessions with independent exercise or mobility practice. Shaq says:

“One of the challenges I face with my clients is the fact that I set them homework, and it doesn’t get completed. This makes it more challenging for me to coach and for them to achieve their goals. However, Firstbeat allows me to track the work they are doing which I set out for them and support them without increasing my face-to-face contact. These digital check-in points also mean I have more time to see my current clients, while creating opportunities to get more clients.”

By including Firstbeat Life as an additional offering to his personal training services, Shaq can attract a wider customer base and get more PT clients growing his business, and expanding his income streams.
