Summary
Fitness consultants who smoke can’t improve their clients’ health. Why? Fitness consultants who don’t care about their own health can’t care for their clients’ health and, therefore, can’t help their clients become healthier.
Missing Connection
The conclusion talks about smoking, but the premises never mention smoking.
How to get from premises to conclusion? According to the premises, if a fitness consultant doesn’t care about their own health, they can’t care for their clients’ health and can’t help their clients become healthier. We can infer the conclusion if we assume that fitness consultants who smoke don’t care about their own health.

Contrapositive: if you smoke, you don’t care about your own health. If this is true, then we can infer that fitness consultants who smoke don’t care about their own health and can’t care for their clients’ health, meaning they can’t help their clients become healthier, which is the argument’s conclusion.
