The Unfortunate Reality 40 - 65 % of new exercisers will cease activity within 3 - 6 months
- improves by 50 % with personal training over 24 weeks
68 % of clients do not return to work with their trainer on account of a negative experience – only 14 % cite pricing changes or costs
56.2% of people who quit exercise cite their key reason was that their programming was too difficult and not enjoyable
Personal training penetration rate is estimated at only 3.5 - 6.5 % of the membership base (vs. 20 – 25 % in Group Fitness). 12 % naysayers, 45 – 55 % self-directed… remaining 33 %?

We need to shift towards personalizing programming
Programming – What If? … we could provide positive and memorable experiences that would drive retention and participation?
… we could align our communication styles to our client’s personality index and communication style to promote trust and effective dialogue?
… we could effectively determine readiness to change behavior and then implement effective strategies to promote healthy behavior?
… we could understand and uniquely program to our client’s individual cognitive, emotional and physiological characteristics? .. there was a simple, yet systematic approach to programming that was relevant, appropriate and effective?
Programming – What If? What if there was one blueprint for all of this?

Rapport and Communication Attend to the environment : Where do you first meet…. 9 Create a nurturing, yet professional environment by meeting in a quiet, comfortable area. o Lighting, music, etc. 9 Avoid high traffic areas, distractions or attempting to establish rapport with a walk-around (e.g., facility tour) or social setting. 9 Do not sit behind a desk – face your client to create a level of comfort. 9 Be attentive to your own personal appearance (clothing, grooming, jewelry, etc).
Communicate effectively: Verbal communication translates only part of the message people send. 9 Verbal communication conveys the verbal content. o Vocal tonality, fluctuations in pitch, etc. 9 Non-verbal communication conveys the true feeling behind the content. o Posture, positioning, facial expressions, gestures, eye contact, etc.
Rapport and Communication Attending behaviors: Perhaps the most-under appreciated and misconstrued component to communication: 9 Distance and orientation (body positioning). 9 Posture and position, mirroring and gestures. 9 Eye contact and facial expressions.
Listen effectively: Humans speak 125 – 250 words / min; hear up to 500 words / min. Effective listening implies attention to content and emotion. 9 Indifferent listening 9 Selective listening 9 Passive listening 9 Active listening

Personality Indexing While trying to develop rapport, you need to simultaneously identify the personality index of the person(s) to whom your are speaking. Successful practitioners adapt their communication and teaching techniques to the personality style of their participants. Never forget the Cardinal Rule ..
“Treat others the way they want to be treated, NOT how you want to be treated “
Personality Indexing Personality style reflects an individual’s characteristics, thoughts, feelings, attitudes, behaviors, and coping mechanisms. Daves & Holland Model: People can be classified based on whether they score low or high on the dominance (influence thinking / actions of others) and sociability scales. Accurate

Personality Indexing Versatile Communications Management is your ability to move into their dimension to garner trust and support, and manage your own personality style.
First, assess your own personality style first. Survey Instructions: Complete the dominance and sociability surveys scoring appropriate scores for each word that best reflects personality. A score of “1” is “not descriptive of the person” , score of “7” is “very descriptive of the person.” Sum the scored numbers for a total score of each dimension. Rate the dimension scores using the scale table. Ask 3 close friends / family to rate you as a comparison.

Golden Rules:
Identify readiness to change behavior
Identify stage of behavioral change – Apply appropriate strategies to move forward
Behavior – Stages of Change
How to administer?
Behavior – Stages of Change Decisional Balance Decision-making towards healthier behavior involves consideration of the pros / cons of changing behavior. 9 Differences explain why individuals move through stages of change. 9 Shift between pros and cons as one progresses through stages: o Pre-contemplation and contemplation stage: Perceive more risks in changing behavior than benefits. o Preparation stage: Benefits and risk appear equal. o Action and maintenance stage: Perceive more benefits than risks in changing behavior.
Goal: Shift decisional balance and influence perceptions of pros and cons. 9 Diffuse anxieties and irrational beliefs (misinformation, previous experiences) in an informational and neutral manner (avoid being confrontational).
Behavior – Stages of Change
Behavior – Stages of Change Decisional Balance Strategies: 1. Ask client to document perceived benefits vs. costs of change, ranking relevance of each. 2. Ask them to identify strategies to achieve pros / minimize impact of cons. 3. Help realize / recognize additional benefits (as needed) to outweigh cons). 4. Think creatively to identify easily-implementable strategies to bring about change and minimize impact of cons.
Behavior – Stages of Change Self-Efficacy Defined as a belief in one’s own capabilities to complete a task. 9 The more capable one feels regarding their ability to engage in activity, the more likely they are to adhere. 9 Determinant and outcome of behavior. 9 Self-confidence is more global while self-efficacy is more task-specific and influenced by: o Past performance and experiences - most influential o Vicarious experiences o Verbal persuasion o Physiological states or responses o Emotional states or responses o Imagery experiences

Behavior – Stages of Change Interactive Exercise Three:
Joe is an overweight, construction worker who has smoked for the past 25 years. After suffering a mild heart attack, his physician suggested he adopt a healthier lifestyle of physical activity, weight management and smoking cessation in order to improve his quality of life. Joe joined a health club, utilized his one complementary free training session then proceeded to follow a basic aerobic program outlined by his physician. Yet after 3 months of sporadic participation, he only lost 4 pounds and did not successfully quit smoking. Frustrated, he cancelled his membership and returned to his previous lifestyle. After another mild episode and some stronger suggestions from his physician, he returned to the health club again to make a change, but on this occasion, he decides to make an appointment to meet with a personal trainer.
1. With respect to the stages of change model, in what stage would you assume Joe currently exists? 2. Examine the Decisional Balance Worksheet – how would he weight this worksheet (number of items / strategies in each section). 3. Identify a strategy that might be implemented to boost his self-efficacy.
Assessments – Considerations NOT all clients need or desire assessments initially. De-motivating to some individuals - proves counterproductive to overall experience. 9 Uncomfortable, intimidated, overwhelmed or embarrassed by current physical condition. 9 Intimidated by complexity of protocols. 9 Unable to cope effectively with results.
Standardized tests? 9 Push-up test – which protocol (chin to floor - CSEP), chest to cup – (Military); how relevant is upper extremity endurance to ADLs?
Select relevant assessments: 9 Muscle groups (trunk – McGill’s and lower extremity). 9 Timing.

A Systematic Approach
Avoid heavy loads with weak muscles – muscles will resort to faulty pathways and recruit type II (phasic) fibers) Always Always position position joint joint in in neutral neutral position position where where muscle muscle is is weak. weak. Avoid Avoid dynamic dynamic movements movements generating generating force force in in the the lengthened lengthened (strong) (strong) position) position) As kinetic chain lacks ability to stabilize multiple segments simultaneously, focus initially upon segment isolation using supports (e.g., floor, backrest) and seek to enhance kinesthetic feedback

Monitoring Training Load using Session RPE Session RPE was developed as a method for monitoring combined intensity & duration of exercise sessions * Client rates the overall intensity of an exercise session about 30 minutes after conclusion using the category ratio (0 to 10) RPE scale Rating is multiplied by duration of exercise at that intensity Score represents combined intensity & duration of the bout (training load) ** Allows for programming using RPE intensities for each session based on current fitness using appropriate frequency, intensity, and progressions Use Session RPE to create weekly training plans and progressions based on RPE training volume…
RPE x frequency x duration * Herman et al. (2006); Foster et al. (1995) ** Foster et al. (2001a); Foster, Daniels, & Seiler (1999); Foster et al. (1996)
Relationship of Session RPE to VT1 & VT2? 0 – Rest 1 – Very Easy 2 – Easy 3 – Moderate 4 – Somewhat Hard VT1 5 – Hard 6 VT2 7 – Very Hard 8 – Very, Very Hard 9 – Nearly Maximal 10 – Maximal Effort Session RPE Scale (Foster, 1998)
RPE has been shown to be a good practical method of monitoring daily stress of exercise session with correspondence to HR and blood lactate measures.

Behavioral Considerations
111
A Systematic Approach Behavioral / Lifestyle (During initial phase) 9 Stages of change: late-Preparation into Action 9 Personality style: o Increase program appeal o Establish challenging, yet manageable goals (build self-efficacy). 9 EFI – emotional tracking o Make sessions fun, engaging and memorable 9 Obstacle management (identify obstacles, offer simple solutions). 9 Establish effective support systems 9 Take ownership of goal setting (SMART) – “On-boarding” (Process) goals 9 Use effective reinforcements – emphasize extrinsic motivators (participation) 9 Provide options / alternative activities to diffuse attitudes, belief systems, aversions or obstacles that are consistent with client goals. 9 Develop written agreements and behavioral contracts. 9 Stimulus control / cue extinction. 9 Cognitive restructuring and positive self-talk.
