Stop Stale Sessions: Virtual Padwork Solves 3 Key Problems for Personal Trainers
If you're an up-and-coming personal trainer wanting to specialize in padwork, you may operate under the following assumption:
"Once I'm qualified, and have enough experience, my pad-holding skills are set."
It’s true that your qualification is a sign of competence, and your real-world hours build skill. But in a world where clients need novelty and technical depth, relying solely on your existing repertoire can lead to stagnation. To truly excel and establish yourself quickly, you must continually evolve your own coaching game.
This is precisely where a structured resource, like Virtual Padwork, challenges that assumption. It isn't a replacement for your hands-on experience but a professional development tool designed to rapidly upgrade your coaching skills, helping you solve key challenges and increase your reputation as a technical expert.
Here is how Virtual Padwork helps you elevate your padwork and stand out:
1. Problem Solved: Breaking Free from the Limited Starting Repertoire
As an up-and-coming PT, you naturally rely on a core set of combinations that work. The problem is, this small selection quickly becomes predictable. Relying on the same sequences repeatedly limits your ability to retain long-term clients who crave technical growth. You need fresh material, but constantly inventing new, seamless drills on the fly is mentally demanding.
How Virtual Padwork Helps You Stand Out: Virtual Padwork includes a combo library of 1000+ videos covering every two-technique combination, and a structured 90-Day Program. This archive of drills serves as a constant wellspring of inspiration for you:
Rapidly Learn New Sequences: Instantly expand your repertoire with complex, effective combinations you might not have considered. You can study the transitions and timing without needing a partner..
Stand Out: Position yourself as the trainer who never delivers a stale session. Your ability to introduce endless variety and technical challenges from day one makes your sessions truly enjoyable and memorable.
2. Problem Solved: Seamlessly Integrating Defensive & Footwork Techniques
Most fitness-focused padwork focuses on punches and cardio. However, true boxing skill includes defence (slips, rolls) and footwork (steps, pivots) within combinations. Successfully cueing these elements means you as the PT need to perfect your technique.
How Virtual Padwork Helps You Stand Out: The program is deliberately structured with dedicated weeks for Punches, Blocks, Head Movement, and Footwork. These sections are perfect for self-study to planning sessions.
Master Defensive Transitions: Learn how to link blocks or head movement seamlessly into punch combinations.
Improve Your Own Footwork & Angles: Learn to move with your client, creating new angles and scenarios that develop evasive and positional skills.
3. Problem Solved: Bridging Gaps in Expertise
As you build your client base, you need to be ready to coach any client, any stance. Many new trainers feel hesitant holding pads for a Southpaw when they are Orthodox, or vice versa, limiting their initial confidence and the quality of their coaching. In fact, even highly qualified boxing trainers may feel less confident holding pads for a client in the opposite stance. This forces trainers to stick to their comfort zone.
How Virtual Padwork Helps You Stand Out: A key feature of Virtual Padwork is that all videos are available in both Orthodox and Southpaw stances. This makes it a foundational resource for mastering your opposite stance.
Become Skilled in Both Stances: Confidently study and internalize the specific punches, angles, foot placement, and pad positions required for any client, regardless of their dominant stance.
Stand Out: Skilfully adapt yourself to the needs of the client, removing limitations on who you can coach effectively.
Elevate Your Craft, Elevate Your Business
The assumption that in-person hours are all you need is limiting your potential. Virtual Padwork is a dynamic professional development tool that empowers qualified personal trainers to continuously refine their own pad-holding and technical coaching skills. By leveraging this resource, you can break free from predictability, offer a richer technical experience, and cement your status as a standout padwork coach in a competitive market.
