'Secrets of Successful Program Design' teaches you how to properly assess clients, design effective training programs, and progress and regress exercises based on individual client goals.
Your success as a fitness professional depends on your ability to reliably deliver results to clients. In Secrets of Successful Program Design: A How-To Guide for Busy Fitness Professionals, noted fitness and program design expert Alwyn Cosgrove and his director of programming, Craig Rasmussen, share Alwyn's proven system for creating programs that take clients from where they are to where they want to be.
You'll learn how to properly assess a client and design the most effective program based on their individual goal-whether that is fat loss, muscle and strength building, or improved overall conditioning. You'll also learn how to customize the training experience of your client on the fly, effectively progressing and regressing exercises according to day-to-day fluctuations in abilities and needs. This will ensure you are delivering the best results possible for each client every time they train.
This guide to building training programs is supplemented with a selection of predesigned workouts that will draw on your skills for progressing and regressing exercises, saving you valuable time and energy while still allowing you to produce a personalized experience for your client.
A reliable system-based approach to program design that consistently delivers results to every client-regardless of demographic profile, ability, or goals-will set your training business up for success in the incredibly competitive fitness market.
Earn continuing education credits/units! A continuing education exam that uses this book is also available. It may be purchased separately or as part of a package that includes both the book and exam.
