Fitness coach video script: a form-fix tip that builds trust and an offer that doesn’t overpromise

8 scenes · about 60 seconds

1. Scene 1

   If your hips sag on push-ups, you don’t need more push-ups. You need three cues.

   Visual: Side-on shot in a bright gym of a person mid push-up with hips dipping toward the floor, a red line overlay along the sagging back.

   On screen: Hips sagging? 3 cues.

2. Scene 2

   Cue one: screw your hands into the floor. Imagine turning both palms outwards without moving them.

   Visual: Close-up of two hands flat on a rubber gym floor, fingers spread, a curved arrow overlay showing the outward twist.

   On screen: 1. Screw hands in

3. Scene 3

   That sets your shoulders and stops your elbows flaring straight out to the sides.

   Visual: Top-down view of the push-up position, elbows tucked at a slight angle to the body, shoulder blades flat.

4. Scene 4

   Cue two: squeeze your glutes like you’re holding a coin. Your hips can’t sag if they’re switched on.

   Visual: Side-on shot of the same person holding a plank, back now flat from shoulders to heels, a green line overlay.

   On screen: 2. Squeeze glutes

5. Scene 5

   Cue three: push the floor away at the top, so your upper back rounds slightly.

   Visual: Side-on close-up of the upper back lifting at the top of the rep, shoulder blades spreading apart.

   On screen: 3. Push the floor away

6. Scene 6

   Can’t hold it for more than a few reps? Put your hands on a bench. Good form at an easier angle beats bad form on the floor.

   Visual: The same person doing incline push-ups with hands on a sturdy gym bench, body in a straight line.

   On screen: Too hard? Hands on a bench

7. Scene 7

   Screw, squeeze, push. Film your next set from the side and check your line.

   Visual: A phone propped on a water bottle, filming a push-up set from the side.

   On screen: Screw · Squeeze · Push

8. Scene 8

   I’m Coach Dana. I post one form fix a week. Follow so you don’t miss the squat one.

   Visual: Wide shot of the gym floor in morning light, a coach seen from behind setting up a bench, a clipboard on the floor.

   On screen: One form fix a week

• “Your push-ups aren’t weak. Your hips are switched off.”
• “Three words I use to fix a sagging push-up: screw, squeeze, push.”
• “Film your push-up from the side. If you see a banana, watch this.”
• “Stop doing more reps of a push-up that’s hurting your form.”
• “Doing push-ups on your knees? Try a bench instead. Here’s why.”
• “Here’s exactly what you get when you hire me as your coach.”
• “Online coaching isn’t a PDF and a prayer. This is my week with a client.”
• “If you’ve bought a plan and never opened it, this is what’s different.”
