The First Meeting with a New Client

by yehuda zelenko
(ra'anana Israel)

I take the attitude that the new client left his comfort zone when he/she decided to invite to meet with me. I try to learn what they expect from me and why, what is the time frame, and what issues might prevent them from reaching their goal.

Then I take some time explaining what we can do (every meeting with every client is slightly different content), what my experience is, what are the benefits in doing exercise, what exercise won't do for them, what the steps in which they have to cooperate in order for us to work together (health form, range of motion tests, fat measure, payment terms, etc).

And the two most important questions at the very first introduction: what days and hours are your available next week so that we can get started, and would you care to refer me to any of your friends or acquaintances who might need personal training.

Good luck.
