What questions should a personal trainer ask a client in a consultation?!


Question: I'm a new personal trainer and I have my first client, but I don't know what I should ask during my consultation before I design a program for them.
Answers:
Focus on safety and effectiveness. Having given the PAR-Q is an important first step. After that, measure his/her blood pressure, and resting heart rate.

Besides that, there are probably 20 questions you could ask. First of all, ask about their goal. Then, ask about training history, family history, what type of job they have, what activities they enjoy, how much time they have per week to train with you, questions about their lifestyle, nutrition, etc.

All of these variables, and perhaps others should go into designing a safe and effective program.

Good luck!

Are you certified? If so, you should be familiar with PAR Q, a physical readiness questionarre, and exercise risk assessment.
