Progression is the key to training any client successfully. 

If your clients are making progress towards their goals they will be happy.

This is why testing your clients on a regular bases every 4-6 weeks is important.

Testing is great fun and motivating. I recommend the following tests:

• Circumferences
• Body fat percentage
• Weight
• 1km row
• 1km run or 1.5-mile run test
• Press-up max
• Sit-up max
• Heart rate recovery – step test
• Flexibility
• Lung function
• Plank max
• Agility
• Blood pressure
• Resting heart rate

When someone asks me what is the main benefit of having a personal trainer, I say ‘progression towards your goals’.
