Proper education on posture and form.

Other than that me spotting them is more than adequate.

Same as LaRue. Also an Informed Consent. If I have any doubt, even if the situation is fully in the scope of my practice, I ALWAYS require a pysician’s approval and communicate with the doc or the physical therapist after the client gives permission to such a dialogue.

One of my faculty here is JoAnn Eickhoff-Shemek, Ph.D., FACSM has an excellent book on this topic!

The use of an Agreement that outlines the details of our relationship as trainer and client. A health history, and fitness assessment. A PAR-Q form. A Physician Approval to Exercise form (where appropriate). Not taking on someone who I do not believe I am qualified to train. Full disclaimer/disclosure that I am not at any time giving the client medical or nutritional advice (as those terms are commonly understood and defined)… There’s much more that can be added here.
