What will happen during my first training appointment?

The first training appointment brings back those memories of PE class time trials. Lots of butterflies and kids watching you struggle to do as many sit ups as possible in 60 seconds.

Don’t fret! Being a NYC certified personal trainer and working to build confidence and physical fitness in my clients is one of the favorite parts of my job. (And I promise not to bring a stop-watch!)

Though we won’t be working out during the first meeting, I need you to come in your exercise clothes. I’ll take an exercise history and a medical history and determine any risk factors that could interfere with your ability to safely participate in an exercise program. I assess posture, flexibility, and strength. I measure waist, hip, chest, arm and leg circumferences, body fat, lean mass, total body water and resting metabolic rate. This is so I can determine where to begin in an individualized training program. Each client of mine is different, so this first session is to assess your needs. We will also discuss business policies and you will be asked to sign some business forms.
