Ask the Coach: “How do you help clients regain momentum after falling off track?”

Getting back on track can feel overwhelming. We asked our coaches where they recommend starting.

Pablo ():

“To help clients regain momentum, I first identify the underlying reason they fell off track. Whether it’s stress, a significant life change, or whatever, understanding the cause allows us to create an appropriate plan moving forward. After discussing their challenges, I focus on scaling back expectations and rebuilding sustainable habits rather than immediately increasing intensity. The goal is long-term consistency and progress over a quick return that may lead to another setback”.

Cole ():

“Anytime I see a client who has taken time off of training or is losing motivation. I’ll schedule a couple of days of complete strength and conditioning testing. The testing includes Plyometrics, Agility’s, Strength and Conditioning tests. This is a quick way to motivate clients and set some new goals and get them back on track”.

This past weekend, DIAKADI coach Brandon (.liftforlife) competed in Nevada’s 2026 Strongest Man competition, finishing 2nd overall in a hard fought comeback performance.

The day started with a 505lb squat PR, followed by a 1st place finish in the 250lb clean and press with 5 reps in 60 seconds. Despite a costly mistake and fall during the mystery carry event, Brandon stayed focused and bounced back with a 2nd place finish in the sandbag carry and a 1st place finish in the final event, putting a 300lb stone over a 52-inch bar 6 times in 60 seconds.

More than the podium finish, this competition marked Brandon’s return after tearing both his bicep and hamstring last year. 

As Brandon reflected after the event, “sometimes we can put off goals of hours and keep trying to prepare as a way to procrastinate or wait to feel ready to put ourselves out there. It’s a reminder to me that sometimes you just have to try for something even if you are worried about how it’s going to turn out or don’t feel fully prepared for it, but you prepared as best as you could”. 

Keep doing it ALL and KICK ass doing it!

Michelle and Coach Austin (.fitness) started working together in early 2024 following her osteoporosis diagnosis.

At the end of 2023, Michelle’s lumbar spine T score measured -3.0, placing her in the osteoporosis range. After a year of consistent strength training, her updated scan improved to -1.4, along with improvements across her total hip and femoral neck scores.

For T scores, the goal is to get as close to 0 as possible, making these changes especially significant.

Her results officially shifted from osteoporosis to osteopenia.

This kind of progress takes consistency, patience, and a training approach focused on long-term health. Coach Austin continues to help clients build strength that supports not only performance in the gym, but also longevity and overall quality of life.

Michelle and Coach Austin, keep doing it ALL and kick ASS doing it!
