Reflection on the fifth 10-hour block of your placement (41-50)

Isaac’s last few responsibilities included personalised shopping list, exercise plan and a food guide to help get his clients started. It was important to keep up with his clients and keep them up to date with ways that they could progress, he would do this every 3-4 months. During my last few hours working with him, he produced these small packages to each of his clients with different body types and body goals. This gave me the opportunity to really understand a client’s needs and also grasp what diet and exercise that best suits each body.

With all the duties of a PT, I really understood the importance of being organised. I also found that time management and prioritisation was key to becoming a successful PT. I believe that I can take what I have learned and use it to my advantage in my career prospects in the future.

Prioritising my time, working with the clients and doing enough admin work to keep a business going; these things were hard to adapt too at first. I found myself busy at every moment of the day, but with planning and keeping strict time schedules I was able to overcome this challenge and eventually the days seemed smoother.
