This might be the single most important thing you read this week!
I’m sure on a daily basis, at any given moment, you are getting BOMBARDED with posts and videos from different content creators in the fitness space.
Everywhere you look
TikTok
Youtube
It feels like everyone is some kind of fitness influencer at this point
And look, I’m actually all for the world waking up and embracing fitness like it is
But what I’m not into is this wave of misinformation and deceit
Unfortunately, the fitness industry isn’t regulated so anyone with a camera and a social media account can start posting information and even begin soliciting business
As a consumer, especially a consumer who is actively trying to improve their health, I want you to be armed with discernment.
That’s why today I am going to show you exactly how to weed through the bullshit so you can lock in on the information that matters and see results without the mountain of nonsense most fitness influencers are dishing out
Here’s what to look for:
CREDENTIALS
My mom always told me when it comes do deciphering the validity of info, to consider the source. With that being said, if the person presenting the information doesn’t have the background and education to support their position as a fitness professional, take what they say with a grain of salt. No they don’t need a phd, but they should at least be a certified personal trainer and/or nutrition coach.
THEY LOOK THE PART
I was taught to never trust a skinny cook lol. Meaning they are a product of their work. So in this case, the fitness professional you are connecting with should at least be in good physical shape (or working towards it). This does NOT mean that they a dripping with the juice or have been sliced and diced to create the illusion of the perfect aesthetic. In fact, they may not even be lean or shredded. They may have simply gotten their own fitness in order and experienced a transformation (physical, as well as mental).
THEY AREN’T HUCKSTERS
We are Fitness Professionals. That means in most cases, we have a product or service to sell. But when that becomes the sole motive, the intention becomes crystal clear and its rarely to actually help anyone. To make matters worse, a lot of people pushing products don’t have any real education when it comes to fitness and aren’t actually qualified to help you. Not to mention 99% of the products these people are selling are trash. Most of the time, their main goal is to sell you a product subscription you don’t need and eventually get you into their downline where you can start doing the same. Don’t fall for it.
THEY HAVE A PROVEN TRACK RECORD
Simply put, they have helped others achieve the results they claim they can help others achieve. Seems like common sense, right? You would think so, but it is so easy to regurgitate information without practical application these days. It’s one thing to be knowledgeable, but it’s a completely different ball game to be able to apply the information to produce a result.
YOU VIBE WITH THEM
I’m going to keep it real… the process to getting in shape and staying there is pretty simple. And because of this, once you sift through the noise you’ll realize that everyone is basically saying the same shit (or some variation of it). At this point, it’s more about who you vibe with on a personal basis. Whose method of delivery resonates with you most? Is it a more technical, science-based approach? Do you like more fun, care-free delivery? Or do you prefer a no-nonsense, in your face type of vibe? Find who you vibe with.
If you look at every piece of content through this filter, you will easily be able to identify BS and remove it from your feed.
In this week’s episode of the VXG Podcast, I dive even deeper into this topic while also giving some practical examples of each and how to effectively navigate through it all.
