What is your job as a Personal Trainer?
What is your job as a Personal Trainer?
As a personal trainer your primary goal is going to be to help your clients to develop a plan that will help them to meet their fitness goals.
These goals are going to vary from client to client; some are going to want to lose weight, while others are going to want to build up their muscle mass.
Some are simply going to want your help to keep them in the shape that they are in now.
It is going to be your responsibility as a personal trainer to help them to develop an exercise regimen that will take them where they want to go as quickly as possible using your own extensive knowledge on the subject.
Unfortunately, as a personal trainer it is also often going to fall to you to give your clients a firm dose of reality. Many of them are going to want you to help them meet goals that are both unrealistic and, in some cases, generally unhealthy.
For example, you may have a client that wants to lose twenty five pounds in a month so that she can fit into the dress that she deliberately bought three sizes too small for her sister’s wedding, or you may have a client that wants to quadruple his arm mass so that he looks like the terminator but whose frame will not support it without falling over. It is going to be your job to guide them towards more achievable goals that they will be capable of fulfilling.
