Q&A : What’s the hardest part about being a trainer?

There?s no doubt about it, Chris and I absolutely love what we do. It truly is our driving force in life and inspires us to work harder, be better, and make a difference day in and day out. We are blessed to do what we love, and love what we do, but even with such a passion for our profession, there are a few pitfalls too. Check out the video below to see what we think the hardest part of our job is!

As with any career, our job has it setbacks, but I can assure you, the positives far outweigh any possible negatives, and we are so grateful for all of our amazing opportunities every single day. Now, if we could just find a bit more balance?adding that to the 2015 resolutions list ;)!

Xoxo,

Heidi

  1. was wondering if the low and high carb cyclying was good for a type 2 diabetic that I am.dr caught it early,an dr said it was reversible.

  2. I was wondering if you could tell me what carb cycle is used for maintaining weight while continuing to build strength and endurance? Or is carb cycling only for losing weight? Thanks! You two inspire me!

  3. I absolutely love the two of you together and the way you approach and help the world. I envy how strong the two of you are. The hardest part about being a trainer(NASM) for me was the competitiveness in the industry, I loved helping all the people I did with weight and injury struggles. I helped real people with real problems with just my knowledge, time, and actual ability to help. But it was not also a challenge being a much thicker girl, but my big box gym only cared about how many clients I had, what I was wearing, and how original/badass my workouts were. I’m so happy that you see so much positive and don’t even look at the negative. You continue to help all the people you can, and NEVER judge in the process. Seriously never stop what you’re doing. 🙂

  4. I love your honesty. My Boyfriend (of 16 yrs) have the awesome ability to work from home. When we work at home at the same time, however, I feel like we need to get away – from each other at the end of the day.

    I would love to see you all work with some folks that aren’t necissarily morbidly obese, but maybe have health concerns that keep them from working out at a high intensity. How do we go about that? IE: I had a brain tumor (removed from St Josephs though, so I’m all good ;-)) But I’m left with just one jugular vein and if my heart rate goes too high I will have an excutiating headache for days. I also have chronic hives so I can’t take NSAIDS so I try really hard to not get a headache that lasts for days. I’ve done OK with diet, walks, etc, but am still overweight as I’ve just not been able to work out as I did pre-kid/pre-brain tumor. So, how do those people who physically can’t work high intensity get in touch with that fitness that will prolong our lives? That would make a great show.

    1. Hi Holly: While a new show isn’t in the works, anyone-with any amount of weight to lose-can use the same program Chris and Heidi use on the show. You can find their carb cycling program in their book, “Choose More, Lose More for Life.” The book contains their complete nutrition and exercise program, and it will teach you everything you need to know and do to achieve your own transformation! Learn all about it here: https://heidipowell.net/9060/how-to-begin-your-transformation-journey-step-by-step/. With your health issues, we’d suggest you and your healthcare team work together to make any modifications to Chris and Heidi’s program so you can reach your health and fitness goals. We wish you the best!
