From Chaos to Clarity: Building Systems That Scale Your Coaching Practice
"Programming is the act of implementing periodization through program design techniques and exercise selection." - James FitzGerald
Most coaches hit a ceiling at 15-20 clients. Their systems break down, quality suffers, and growth stalls. But OPEX's systematic approach shows how to scale without sacrificing program quality or client experience. Here's how top coaches are building sustainable practices that support 40+ clients while maintaining premium service.
Signs Your Systems Need an Upgrade
"Programming differs from periodization as periodization is the act of adjusting volume and intensity for blocks of time." - James FitzGerald
