Description
Sedentary behavior is an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and poor mental health. While significant evidence supports exercise programming as a powerful preventive intervention, its public health impact across the fitness industry is consistently hindered by a 50 percent client dropout rate within the first six months of beginning an exercise program.
Build Resilience to Break the 6-Month Client Dropout Cycle bridges the gap between research and program design, providing concrete strategies for helping clients begin—and more importantly, continue—an exercise program in the long term. By analyzing the direct relationships between resilience, exercise self-efficacy, and behavioral adherence, personal trainers and group fitness instructors will learn skills they can immediately put to use to construct environments that cultivate resilience, encourage accountability, and break the cycle of early exercise dropout.
