Things I like to consider when designing a training program?

One thing we often overlook when making a workout plan is that it needs to fit the person using it. Even the best plan won’t help if it isn’t followed. So, the first big step is helping clients find a routine they can stick to and actually enjoy. For instance, if someone doesn’t like high-intensity workouts, they probably won’t do them. As trainers, our job is to mix what they need with what they’ll have fun doing.

Another big issue for many clients is adherence to a program and how do we improve it. Sometimes, this could mean checking in with them every day or having more workout sessions together each week to help with adherence. This helps them get into the habit and, over time, they can keep up the routine on their own. With so many things going on in daily life, many people find it hard to make room for exercise. That’s where a good trainer steps in. We guide them, slowly building a plan that works for them—and this doesn’t happen overnight it’s is definitely a process that require time and patience.

Lastly, there’s a need for real motivation. There’s a big difference between liking the idea of getting fit and truly wanting to put in the work. This shows up during workouts. They have to genuinely want to change, and it’s our role to nurture that desire into tangible results when it’s there.
