ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

on their first step towards a personal training career. Our goal is to point candidates to
continued success in their plans to become certified through the American Council on
Exercise (ACE), the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), and/or as a Certified
Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS).

INTRO
Your client’s high school P.E. teacher taught her to hate push-ups and sit ups, and running was
punishment. So, now you are her personal trainer and you want to make exercise fun.
You can change your client’s life. Here’s how. You coach your client through her workouts. You
chat with her during her warm up on the treadmill. Then you pace her through her strength training
and cardiovascular workouts. But that’s not all. You advise your client on her eating, sleeping and
stress management.
YOU ARE A PERSONAL TRAINER
Motivator: The Jack LaLanne of exercise physiology won’t help your clients reach their fitness
goals unless he is also the Tony Robbins of motivation.
Human: You might think your client would benefit from the drill approach. That commandant
style wears thin after about a week. Be a trainer who is informed, genuine and warm.
Communicator/Teacher: If you are a dictator, my-way-or-the-highway personal trainer, you can
do better. Listen to your client’s goals and effectively teach her how to reach them.
Professional: Is “hurry up and wait” a part of your way of teaching? Do you finish with a client,
change your clothes in a flurry, and apologize profusely to your next client because you are in the
middle of your “leg day” workout.
Think of yourself as a school teacher. Eventually, your client doesn’t need you. Good personal
trainers wean clients toward personal responsibility. They teach clients to work out safely and
effectively. A “check-up” is advisable from time to time to tweak their form and to upgrade their
program. Unless you are a baby sitter or a paid conversationalist, however, personal training is a
short-term arrangement.
