The Human Body
It is essential that a personal fitness trainer is fully versed in human anatomy, how it moves and the functional relationships between each of the body systems.
Additionally the personal fitness trainer will be expected to have a valid first aid qualification and be confident enough to cope with any injury incurred by their client - whether in their care or not.
Having knowledge of sports injuries and how to rehabilitate them will increase client confidence in the trainer.
Client Contact
The development of inter-personal skills and an ear for detail will help provide the trainer with invaluable information on how best to approach the relationship and the program with their client.
Client Assessment
Being able to conduct tests and assessments in a competent manner will help instill the confidence required of them to their clients. Knowing what to test, how and why will provide both the trainer and the client a clear reference point from which to take their next steps.
Client Conversion
Careful planning, meticulous preparation and a no-nonsense program that provides a progressive route to 'improvement' may well be the key that 'wins over a dubious client'
Client Expectations
It cannot be emphasized enough that, a fee-paying client will expect only the very best from a Personal Fitness Instructor - excellent communication and demonstration skills, personality and knowledge.
These qualities can be found in many good fitness instructors on the market, so therefore the better personal trainer must be well prepared, pay attention to detail and be totally committed to the individual needs of the client (one-to-one).
