True Strength: How to Ask for Help (The RxD Personal Training Way)
Let’s be real for a minute.
For a long time, I wore independence like a badge of honor. I didn’t ask for help. I didn’t want to be a “burden.” I’d show up for everyone else but never give myself permission to lean on others.
Sound familiar?
At RxD, we meet a lot of strong, self-sufficient people like that — people who show up for work, their families, and their community, but when it comes to their health, they try to muscle through it alone.
Here’s the truth: trying to figure everything out on your own isn’t strength — it’s self-sabotage.
We’re a Personal Training facility – A Coaching facility. . .Coaching means you don’t have to do this alone. And more importantly: you shouldn’t.
Needing Support Doesn’t Make You Weak. It Makes You Smart.
Even elite athletes have teams. Even CEOs have coaches.
Why? Because real strength is in knowing what you need and being bold enough to ask for it.
When someone walks into RxD and says, “I don’t know where to start,” or “I’m overwhelmed,” that doesn’t make them a weak client. That makes them a coachable one.
That makes them ready for change. True strength comes from this awareness that we all need a coach. We can’t possibly do everything on our own and that’s okay.
Asking for Help Is a Superpower
We see it every day.
Someone walks through our doors completely unsure of how to lift, how to eat, or even how to prioritize themselves. They come in with doubts and leave with a plan.
Why? Because they asked.
We’ve had clients pull us aside mid-session and say, “Hey, I’m not sure I’m doing this right.” And instead of getting judged, they get coached. Encouraged. Corrected. That’s what we’re here for.
Whether it’s nutrition, mobility, mindset, or macros — if you don’t know something, don’t Google your way into frustration. Ask.
Your RxD Coaches are literally built for this. It’s why we exist.
Drop the “I Owe You One” Mentality
One more thing before we wrap…
We know how hard it can be to receive support. Sometimes, our instinct is to say “Thanks — I owe you!” or “I hate to bother you.”
But here’s a mindset reframe:
Support isn’t a transaction. It’s a connection.
We’re not keeping score. We help because we’re in this with you. Because your goals matter. Because communities with the most strength don’t count favors — they show up, again and again, until you believe you’re worth showing up for too.
So next time you want to say, “Thanks, I owe you one,” try this instead:
“Thanks. I’ll pay it forward.”
Let’s Put This into Practice:
Ask yourself this:
-
Where in your life have you been trying to go it alone?
-
What’s one thing you could ask for help with today?
-
Can you reach out — no apologies, no guilt — just the courage to say “I need a hand”?
If Aragorn can do it, so can you. And if the guy in the gym can walk up and ask how to deadlift… you can text your RxD Coach and say, “Hey, I need help dialing in my nutrition,” or “I’m stuck. Can we review my workouts?”
That’s what strong people do.
So go ahead. Reach out. Show strength.
We’ve got you.
