Скачать или смотреть Personal Training Guide: Learn How Every First Training Session Should GO

What happens when a total beginner walks into their first personal training session — and finally learns what good coaching feels like? That’s exactly what this episode reveals. Dr. Sean Pastuch meets Chrissy, who’s been showing up to the gym but feels intimidated by free weights and unsure what to do next.

Across this full, uncut session, Sean teaches her foundational movements — including squats, rows, and deadlifts — and explains simple coaching principles that every trainer should master: confidence through competency, scaling through posture, and freedom through understanding that fitness is a made-up game meant to make us stronger for real life.

For coaches, this is a masterclass in how to coach people, not workouts. Watch how Sean breaks down intimidation, builds trust, and communicates complex movement patterns in plain language. If you train clients new to strength training, this video shows exactly how to set them up for long-term success — and how ALP coaches turn a nervous first-timer into a confident mover.
