At Energy Health we know the value and the necessity of developing strong partnerships when it comes to achieving success, so today we are going to share some ideas that might help you make some more connections in your own life in your own quest to develop supportive partnerships on your journey towards success.

Let’s talk about partnerships in fitness.
Some of us are focused and committed to managing our own exercise routines, but many more of us are not quite at that level.
In fact, those who are not, have a higher probability of dropping out and losing perhaps that one golden life changing opportunity to truly engage and improve their health and well being.

Although statistics do vary, particularly on the type of fitness activity practiced, what is clear, is that less engagement and partnership, equals a higher drop out rate.

How can you stack the odds in your favour then, if you are wanting to commit to your fitness goals over the long term?
You partner up with people who can capably and professionally support you on that journey.

Let’s look at some of those possible partnerships.

Finding the right business or organisation via a membership is crucial. If you are a person who thrives on engagement and support, then securing a membership that demonstrates those values is absolutely necessary.

How might you determine that?
Check out the gym or business website and check out their classes.
Are there reviews of the business?
What do these reviews say about the things that are important to you?
What about the quality of the staff and the instruction – who are the people behind the business?
Make sure you talk with them, and ask them the questions that are important to you.
Do they offer both in person and online solutions (a Facebook page or online portal) for example?
Do they have a great community?
Good equipment?
What about instruction and guidance?
Is it a supportive and engaging atmosphere?
Is it a happy atmosphere?
Do you feel the people there really care about your development?
Do they appear to listen to their members?
How do the prices compare?

Lets move on to more personalised services to help you move to new levels of performance in partnership.

Perhaps you need some one on one tuition and guidance in ‘how’ to use the equipment for example.
Does the business have access to experienced personal trainers who are passionate about helping you get great results?

Other supportive partnerships to take you to new levels of performance can also include the following;
Naturopath
Massage therapist
Nutritionist
Life Coach

These partnerships increase the probability of your engagement in your own health and fitness. These support systems are partners in your success.

The key message here?

Surround yourself with good people. Set up great support systems with proven professionals. Engage in your community, and genuinely commit to your own health and well being.
