To ensure participants are happy with their progress and will keep training, it is important
that the trainer is able to design exercise programs and session plans which are relevant to
the specific needs of the participant.

Comprehensive initial consultation – to design specific programs.
Questionnaires: health, medical conditions, goals, & lifestyle.
The trainer needs to build up a detailed picture of this participant and their life so that the exercises they choose and the program they design will have the best chance of succeeding.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER: The trainer needs to consider a range of factors to ensure the
program is appropriate and that it will benefit the participant rather than harm them.
The trainer needs to consider the following: PAR-Q responses –any contra-indications? Medical history –any conditions which may affect the training? Current and previous exercise history – current fitness level.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER CONTINUED... Barriers to exercise – constraints such as time, cost, family
responsibilities, or work commitments? Motives & goals – what is the participant aiming to achieve and
what is their timescale? Occupation – hours worked and whether work is manual or office-
based. Activity levels – amount of movement they do on a daily basis. Leisure time activities – whether these are active or inactive.
5
FACTORS TO CONSIDER CONTINUED... Diet – what, how much and when they eat. Stress levels –work/home life, and how they deal with it. Alcohol intake – how much they consume and how often. Smoking –smoker/ex-smoker and the amount they smoke. Time available – the client needs to fit the training into their
schedule and the trainer needs to be realistic when planning the program.

of each client. Clients will come from a range of backgrounds, ages,
fitness levels, shapes and sizes.

ACTIVITY SELECTION Other factors to consider: Likes & dislikes – what is the participant comfortable doing?
Why do they not like certain exercises? Accessibility – where can they get to for their training? This
may be physical or limited by cost.

Consider the following factors continued: Culture – are they limited by their culture in terms of
expected roles and responsibilities, and also dress code? Equipment available – are activities limited by venue and
what it has to offer? You may be training in a gym or at the clients home.

To ensure the success of a program, it needs to be specific to the outcome the client wants.
Therefore it is important that you find out exactly what the client would like to achieve.
