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.
