Do you train clients of the opposite sex in their homes? Why or Why not?
I have one male client who I train at his home. He has Parkinson’s and can not longer come to my studio because the process of getting here is just to much for him.
But I know that that is not the scenario you had in mind when asking this question. I would think twice before training a man at his home unless I know his family (wife), or under circumstances as described above.
It is not so much that I am afraid of an assault but than finding myself in a situation that may invite ‘misunderstandings’. In personal training, it can get close, and it is better to be in an enviroment that does not suggest anything but exercise.
Hi Lisa
When I have trained males in their homes, I had a prior relationship with them, therefore, I am comfortable with the in-home setting. I never meet men I don’t know in their homes for the first consult. I arrange for a meeting elsewhere in a public place first. Naturally, if the man is a referral from a client, as an example, a brother, i have met with him in his home because I knew the family and his reputation.
