This course is designed to enable the fitness instructor and coach to develop skills in providing a dedicated one-to-one service for health and fitness clients.
Personal trainers assess the wants and needs of their clients with regard to health and fitness. They measure clients’ present fitness levels and design fitness programmes and regimes which are tailored to each individual.
