Every personal trainer is taught that they must go through a thorough assessment with their clients. Well, after over two decades in the business, I can confidently say I do far less assessing and far more guessing. And in many cases, that’s a better approach.
In this controversial article, I explain:
- When assessments are actually necessary
- What types of testing make sense to establish a baseline
- How to decide which measurements are appropriate
- The best way to assess posture (hint: it’s simpler than you think)
- What popular fitness tests really mean for your clients
- The pros and cons of functional assessments
- What your true role is as a fitness professional when it comes to diagnosis
And yes, I also cover why, in many cases, you’re better off guessing than assessing!
This one might ruffle a few feathers—but it just might open your eyes.
