Why Tracking Is Your Best Commercial Argument
A client who sees progress stays. A client who sees nothing leaves. Rigorous results tracking turns your invisible work into tangible proof.
Key Metrics to Measure
Athletic Performance
- Weights lifted (1RM or usual training loads)
- Number of reps at a fixed load
- Time on cardio exercises
- Resting heart rate
Subjective Wellbeing
- Sleep quality (1-10)
- Energy level (1-10)
- Overall satisfaction (1-10)
The Ideal Tracking Frequency
Too often = discouragement. Not enough = lack of data. Aim for:
- Quick check-in: after each session
- Intermediate review: every 2 weeks
- Full review: every 6 to 8 weeks
