Why Assessments Close Better Clients Than Workouts

In this episode, Larry and Cody break down why assessments—not workouts—are the most powerful sales tool a coach can use . They explain how gathering meaningful data creates clarity, certainty, and trust, especially for clients willing to invest in premium services. The conversation walks through the hierarchy of assessment—flexibility, mobility, competence, tolerance, and strength balance—and why meeting clients where they are matters more than making them sweaty. Coaches will hear real examples of how “workout assessments” often miss the mark and can even undermine confidence. Finally, the episode connects assessment findings to outcomes clients actually care about. Instead of impressing prospects with jargon, Larry and Cody show how simple explanations turn confusion into buy-in. If you want to stand out, charge appropriately, and sell ethically, this episode lays out the blueprint.
