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’.
