Identify Goals and Create Tailored PlansI had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of clients, identifying their goals (e.g. increase strength, improve fitness, weight loss) and writing personalised programs for them.Take One-to-One and/or Group SessionsTaking clients through exercise programs. The sessions challenged my clients, they are fun and always a step towards my client’s goals. My clients may not always be enthuasitc about taking part in the session so it is important for me to have good motivation skills.Communicate ClearlyI assessed , discussed, motivated, and tought clients how to improve their fitness, strength or physique. Hence, strong communication and listening skills are paramount. I also provided feedback on correct technique.Monitor Progress and Be OrganisedBeing prepared for client sessions means writing new programs and tracking progress. I record and monitor health, weight, fitness, and strength so that I could constantly adjust programs to challenge my clients.Educate ClientsGaining new qualifications, attending workshops and fitness events, and reading the latest research ensures i kept up-to-date with fitness and nutrition information, so i could pass this on to educate my clients.
