The focus of my day today was to organize my personal training programming into a more systematic service to provide better structure for my athletes and clients.  I've always felt that personal training and exercise programming as a single entity, yet attempting to merge them together made me realize the importance of separating the two.

For example, Someone has their fitness test, and body composition tests which give me a baseline for goal setting and for exercise programming during our sessions together. The exercise programming should always be executed with respect to the fitness test, and their respective goal direction.

The days in between the sessions leave an opportunity to exercise more, and therefore reach a goal much sooner. So with these days comes additional programming or an additional system to facilitate the goal achievement of my clients and athletes.  Implementing a service to make this programming more effective was my goal. With specific goals, paralleled services can be paired.  Such as cardio programming, or nutritional programming.

The benefit of this for me as a trainer, is I can take the bigger picture of their training goals and add on additional services to make it more effective.

As an outline for my Personal Training and Coaching Services, I have this:

How to provide you, the trainer and your client everything we need to succeed.

A: Plan

Goal

Assessments

Needs Analysis

Testing

Program

EXECUTION:

1. IF I am meeting a new client. Gather Goals, Information, Current Status, Discuss options.
2. TEST and gather Base information. Catalogue, and Analyze
3. Discuss possible plan of action with a Presentation of PERIODIZED CYCLE ... Macros through Micros.
4. Collect OFFER DIFFERENT RATES FOR PHASES.
5. Write Program from TESTING PHASE TO TESTING PHASE; CALENDAR THIS DATE
6. Begin Training.

Training

       - No workouts in advance

       - Weekly Scheduling

       - They write in their exercise book  

THEIR BOOK CAN HAVE ALL THE WORKOUTS PRE-PRINTED IN IT and Previous Test Results and Post-test Forms. (From Phase to Phase.. Kniko that shit.)

B: Tracking

Online Graphing, or an auto-form. that charts and graphs.

TWO BOOKS: Home workout Journal. and Exercise Program Book

The perfectly executed training session (IN PERSON)

1).  Gather client and notebook.

My notebook has their workouts, and results from programs

2).  Write down their workout on the whiteboard for them to copy in their workout

Dictate the workout.

Allow them to ask questions.

3). Execute the workout.

Allow each set to be a progression into max, with multiple warm up sets of increasing weight

Allow client to rest, but timing the rest periods, record data

Allow client to increase weight, but record the load

Following the workout Calculate:

Work seconds = Weight X Reps / Time

Set Power = (weight X reps X  sets)/Total time

Efficiency = Sets  X Work seconds / Set power

4) Report maxes, and record data

5) Peg every cycle of training and every training phase.

The perfectly executed Remote Training session.

1)   Text by day, or Email by week  Workouts

2)  Client Reports Workout Data and Results

3) Record and Chart Data

4) Follow each phase with testing week.

Follow each training phase with a group/cycle of tests

Since there are so many tests and skills to be evaluated, pick a group from the crossfit skills sheet to tackle  and cycle through  them individually.

Once client succeeds through a series of tests,  New skills can be taught.

(THEREFORE MUST DECIDE PROGRESSION S OF SKILLS FOR EACH LEVEL)

Personal Training Goals:

I have created the spreadsheets needed for the services. Time to just clean them up

PT clients for weightloss, and general physical preparation will train at manitou.

Crossfitters/weightlifters/Athletes at SOCO.  Looking into more buildings soon.

Lead options will be generated from texting my previous clients and asking for referrals

Tomorrow  I will be working the CORE class in manitou springs.

will test the spreadsheet and client tracker there. SQUARE donation card reader implemented.
