Throughout my fourth 10-hour block placement, I was set to monitor each client progression individually, meeting with two clients at the start and two clients at the end of the session. I took part with accompanying Isaacs to discuss their progress from the first week of the Challenge 28 up to the week before the end of the challenge. Isaacs and myself discussed their weight progressed or not, what they can do before the end of the challenge and their diet.
This role links to my future career because without feedback of their progression, the clients will not know their results, uncertainty or not aware if they made much progression. Progression reviews gives an opportunity to know how hard your client been working and what could be improved. Taking the time out to go through the client’s progression to help refresh their mind and motivate the client push harder into the last week of their training.
This task was critical thinking. As a personal trainer and physiotherapist, critical thinking in one of many skills to have because it is an act of analysing and evaluating situations that you may have to judge to come up with an alternative plan. Moreover, physiotherapists need to ensure that they provide the correct exercise based on the individual condition. When discussing their progression, you will either celebrate their achievement or may have to come up with a treatment plan to have a change of result.
