The New Edge for Personal Trainers: Blood Testing & Client Physiology

ascend education blood testing bloodwork May 21, 2025

 

If you’re a personal trainer looking to get better results for your clients, there’s a huge opportunity most coaches are missing…

It’s not another training method.
It’s not a new macro split.
It’s blood work.

That’s right — understanding your client’s blood chemistry could be the most powerful tool you add to your coaching toolbox this year.

And now, for the first time, we’re giving you the roadmap with our upcoming course:

Advanced Blood Testing & Interpretation for Personal Trainers
Launching soon – 100% online and built specifically for fitness professionals.

 

Why Blood Testing Matters for Coaches

Let’s be real. Some clients do everything right and still struggle.

They eat well.
They train hard.
They track their steps.
But they feel exhausted. They don’t recover. Their fat loss has stalled. Their strength is flatlining.

And you’re left thinking: What else can I do?

That’s where blood testing comes in. It reveals what’s going on under the hood — the stuff training and macros can’t fix alone.

When you understand blood work, you can spot things like:

  • Low testosterone or progesterone

  • Chronic stress and cortisol dysfunction

  • Thyroid underactivity slowing down fat loss

  • Vitamin or mineral deficiencies sabotaging recovery

  • Early signs of insulin resistance

This course teaches you how to read common blood panels, interpret what matters, and use that information to coach more effectively — without needing to be a doctor.

 

What You’ll Learn in the Course

This isn’t medical school. This is practical, coach-specific education that shows you what to look for and how to act on it.
