CONNECT AND NETWORK

The industry can be a lonely place, with so much conflicting information on social media, it's hard to know who to trust. Over the last 9 years of putting on in person events, one highly valued element of the events are being able to connect and network with people you respect, trust and have aligned values with. 

EDUCATE & UPSKILL

Knowing that you "need" to do something, and understanding how are miles apart. We have taken some of the key areas that are challenging coaches right now, and educate in how and more importantly what those first few steps look like. So no more procrastinating and feeling overwhelmed.

MOTIVATED AND INSPIRED

We aim for you to leave the Coaches Conference full of motivation and inspired to take 2025 by the scruff of the neck and achieve great things for yourself. We have spent 10's of thousands between us previous on courses and seminars before and the reality is that there was just so much information we didn't know where to start and thus leaving us still stuck. So this is why inspiring you with real time examples from people doing what you to do right now is included in our speaker line up

JOIN US FOR THE 5th ANNUAL COACHES CONFERENCE IN MANCHESTER! 

We have been running events for coaches the last 10 years with a simple aim.
• To fill the gaps in coaching knowledge and business acumen to give coaches the business they want and deserve.
• To inspire coaches to be better, live and work in alignment with their values and mission.
• To provide a safe inspiring environment to connect and network with other coaches.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Conference will be focused around two main areas⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Marketing beyond limits"

@Village hotel
Ashton under lyne

Most coaches put too many limits on yourselves when it comes to marketing due to feeling like an imposter, comparing or just not having the right processes and systems to keep you consistent and start seeing the leads, sales and revenue come in consistently. 

This is a full day to solve all of that and more.

What to Expect / Description

Learn how to launch a challenge that sells out, and turn the sign-ups into recurring 1:1 clients. 

Most coaches run the wrong type of challenge, at the wrong price, at the wrong time, and have no idea how many sign-ups to expect. This talk covers which challenge to run and how to price it, when to launch, how long to run it, how to predict your sign-ups before you open signups, and how to promote it across email, social media and paid ads. You'll leave knowing exactly what your next launch should look like

Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
 

What it is, and what you as a coach can do about it:

Most coaches have women in front of them living with leaking or prolapse, and have no idea, because nobody has told them. This session looks at what pelvic floor dysfunction actually is, the forms it takes, and why it so rarely gets mentioned in a gym. Colls covers what to look for, how to open the conversation so women feel able to answer honestly, and the small, practical changes a coach can make straight away once they know

Intrinsic biomechanics workshop

• Do you have clients who struggle with range of movement in their squat?

• Wish you knew why their shoulders just wont allow them to press overhead?

• Do you have clients afraid to do certain exercises because of their physical limitations or even pain?

• Would you like to see their movement improve before your very eyes?


Learn how to:

•Assess where limitations maybe coming from with a simple evidence-based screening programme for the pelvis, spine & shoulders

•Learn the relevant techniques that improve movement, function & strength ratios of the pelvis, spine & shoulders

Coaching clients on weight loss medication



More clients are starting weight loss medication, and many coaches aren't sure how to navigate it. This talk gives you a clear understanding of how these medications work and what they change physiologically, psychologically and behaviourally. You'll then learn how to turn that into practical coaching that's collaborative rather than prescriptive: working with your client to protect muscle, support nutrition, manage the emotional side of rapid change and build habits that last beyond the prescription.

You'll leave with:

  • A working understanding of the medication and its effects
  • Practical coaching strategies for each stage of the journey
  • Confidence to work collaboratively and within your scope

Programming With Confidence: Build a System You Trust

Most coaches don't have a programming system you fully trust. This session changes that. Nik and Ant will walk you through building a programming system you understand from the ground up, so you know exactly why every part is there and can explain it to any client.

It's a system that's easy to adapt week to week, whether a client is stressed, injured, busy or plateauing, without starting from scratch. You'll have the context to make those calls confidently and the consistency to keep delivering results.

You'll leave with:

  • A complete programming system you have full confidence in
  • The context to understand why it works, not just how to run it
  • A simple process for adapting it each week to fit each client


PTMA

PTMA
The Marketing model

Most coaches market reactively without a proven system you can repeat each month. Nik, Ant and Sky will show you how to change that. You'll set clear marketing goals for the year ahead, build your next campaign step by step and finish with a repeatable system to bring in clients consistently.

You'll leave with:

  • Clear marketing goals for the new year
  • Your next campaign planned and ready to launch
  • A repeatable system you can run again and again
  • New expectations around your marketing 



PTMA

Typically, when you go to events you sit down listen to a lot of information and apply 10% of it. We’ve spent thousands on events and courses and want to make this about YOU. 

This is why the format of the two days is going to guided by the 3 objectives.   

CONNECTION

One of the biggest pieces of feedback from past events has been the value in connecting with peers. The opportunity to pick each other’s brains, to collaborate on ideas and generally feel like you not alone in the industry. We will be facilitating this throughout the two days and especially through our unique “Roundtable Mastermind” sessions … which I absolutely can’t wait for. 

INSPIRATION AND MOTIVATION

A huge thing for us is not just to through information at you, but for it to be delivered in an inspiring and relatable way. This is going to come from real applied stories, from gym owners to online coaches and I think you’ll buzz off this. 

APPLIED LEARNING! 

One of our core values is applied education. So, you can take the information and apply it right there and then. We have taken the most sort after gaps coaches currently face and put them into workshops and sessions, so you not only learn but you know how to apply everything directly to you, your business and your clients. From being set up financially right the way through to improving your coaching techniques with clients. 

What our attendee's say about the coaches conference

Honestly from the time I was there it was amazing. Ant greeted me as soon as I walked into the room and made me feel welcome. There was a range of speakers all discussing different aspects of being a PT which is good as it wasn’t repetitive. I felt like I learned a lot and would 100% attend again if you do another one. Thank you for having us all
