I'M INTO FITNESS, AS IN FITTING THIS PIZZA IN MY MOUTH
For my last shadow session, Joe wanted to make sure I saw what a session was like for a client that was just into general fitness. In his opinion after having seeing this, I would've been exposed to all the major types of clients you can run into.
This client was a married woman in her early thirties, professional with no children. She is in generally good shape with no major physical issues and came to him with a generally active lifestyle and background of having worked with personal trainer before.
She found Joe through Facebook posts on a mutual friend's page and became interested in his training through his work with the friend. She decided to try him out and told him that she wanted to be exposed to different training regiments and approaches as she was becoming bored with her training.
In this session, he took her through a combination of body weight and weighted exercises that emphasized progressive and advanced versions of many standard exercises. Because she had solid foundation in basic training, he can introduce her to many variations that the majority of his clients don't have the ability to do as they are still learning the fundamentals.
This was another fun session and it exposed me to a lot of exercises that I haven't done because as Joe says, I'm still in Training 101 class.
