Please don’t ghost the trainer. They are checking in because they care.
Last month we celebrated 4 years of CrossFit CTRL. Inside that 4 years i’ve been lucky enough to interact with over 400 athletes.
Out of those 400 we currently have 149 amazing members still attending our classes.
Every week our team reaches out to our athletes. Some because of their progress and some because we haven’t seen them in a while.
What I cannot understand is when we reach out to the athletes most of the members we have not seen leave us without a response.
It’s upsetting because we truly care. It’s very hard as a coach reaching out when you send a message and can see the person on the other side has read it without a response.
But we’ve all been on that side. The reason we are being ghosted is because the athlete knows they should be showing up. They feel guilty for not being there so it’s easier to not respond.
We want to help. We know the struggles. The ups and downs. The downs won’t come up by ghosting your trainer.
Please don’t ghost your trainer. They really do care and want to help.
