Most trainers i see don’t keep a record of their client’s progress. Is this common?

Hello Nancy,
Very common…I keeps records of my clients progress and workouts for up to five years.

Sincerely,
Michael

I keep track, though some of my clients like to keep track in their own note book too. That makes for great inspiration when they are at home and look back on their progression. Additionally, if one isn’t taking down a record, the how can one program effectively over time? I would find this hard if not impossible.

Hi Nancy,

I heard that some trainers do not record their sessions. (NOTE: I record my clients’ session).
These trainers do not realize the problems that arise when you have no records and a client takes legal action (not a pretty sight!)

Word of advice- your best it to write it down!

Good Luck!

I hope not! Tracking progress, in my opinion, is perhaps one of the most effective motivational tools you have to help your client stay with his/her program. It’s also a great way for you to evaluate and perhaps modify your client’s training program.

Take care.
