Having a coach, mentor, or someone guiding you is one of the most important pieces of successfully transforming your body or life.  But how do you know if you’ve hired the right person to lead you on this journey? In today’s world, with the explosion of social media, and the ability for anyone with a phone in their hand to record a video, or type a message that can reach millions of eyeballs, we have to make sure we are properly filtering the “experts” that we’re seeking advice from and handing over our hard-earned dollar bills for guidance.  In this episode, Brian Klepacki and I go deep into some of the problems facing the “online coaching” space, and what you need to look for when hiring your own trainer or coach.  Brian provides some basic tips that anyone who is looking to make a change should start with, and talks about going “back to the basics” and the importance of working the physical as a whole (mind, body, and spirit).  He also shares some warning signs to look for that should be an immediate red flag if you’re about to hire someone, and should instantly tell you to run the other direction.  Brian Klepacki, MS, CSCS, aka - Coach Brian, is a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist with a Masters Degree in Exercise Science. With over 16 years working as a strength coach, he has worked with, and trained people from all aspects of life, from Olympic and professional athletes to everyday men and women looking to get started on their first fitness journey.    Make sure to join the community over on FB at https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/, and also subscribe, rate, and review the podcast.
