First job as fitness trainer. How to begin with the new client

[JasonPriest]

as someone who had done it for almost 40 years i would say that the #1 thing you can do for a client is motivate and teach them

 

[Martellix]

i'm a bit confused on this one because THEY should be the one asking YOU questions. not you asking them questions

i always start out my consulations with 'how can i help you?' the client should envision their goals and you should help them achieve that.

you should also get some stats on paper especially weight, body fat, etc. so they can see their progress

Yes I agree with you, good advice

 

[Martellix]

You should ask your client to keep a log of what they do for 1 week diet and lifestyle so you can judge what you want from them.

This could be helpful

bros i think you need to be certified to be a trainer

I'm certified. But honestly, they didn't teach us shit how to work with clients.

 

[Martellix]

are you a certified trainer?

Yes. But honestly, they didn't teach us shit how to work with clients

 

[Martellix]

what is your certification?

Fitness trainer of the 1. qualification.
If that's correct translation... We have 3 qualifications for fitness trainers. I hoped they would teach me how to work with clients, but nope...

You need to know what their goals are and be able to explain clearly how you can get them to achieve what they are wanting
