A trial session where you've prospected the gym floor and convinced someone to do an on the spot PT session with you to sample your services would be somewhere between 30-45 min. All other PT sessions would be 60 min sessions. I strongly oppose 30 min PT sessions for regular paying clients. I attempted it in my business back in 2012 and in 2015 and both times it was a disaster. I only sell 60 min sessions. My full assessment/evaluation session is 90 min, but this is an in-depth session where I do 6 different assessments plus rapport building, goal setting, etc.

Personally I prefer to front squat with a barbell over any other squat variation. The goblet squat at best should be performed with a vertical dumbbell and is used to teach proper squat mechanics and posture. There will always be a limiting factor with a goblet squat which will be your ability to hold the weight vs. what your legs can tolerate for load. An elite goal is a 1/2 bodyweight goblet squat for 25 reps, but past that, it's time to move to the barbell. This video is quite old and I've come a long way from training with KBs for squats. Nevertheless, thanks for your comment. Train hard!

Wow thanks so much for your kind words. I know your comment is several months past but I am going through my channel (I've been MIA for a few years) and it's nice to get so much respect and appreciation. Ottawa is a good city for PT. Good sized population, good stable income base due to a few public sector industries, lots of gyms and PT studios. I wish you well in your career change!

Only thing he told me is that I don't need a certificate to be a trainer, which I've been doing for 10 yrs now.

Definitely, although, I've had many Type A/CEO/entrepreneur clients who train in off hours between 10am-12pm or 1-3pm. They have the ability to call the shots with their schedules and prefer training when the gym or studio is not packed full of clients. Wealthiest client I ever trained (when I lived in Calgary AB) trained at 2pm.

Modified supersets or paired sets are just standard supersets with rest in between the two exercises. In the case of training a new client, and using the full body workout routine, you would structure your clients training like this: A1: lower body exercise Rest 60-90s A2: upper body exercise Rest 60-90s Perform 3-4 sets of entire A-series, 10-12 reps, then move onto B-series.

You're welcome!

Awesome! Wish you success.

You got it!

You're welcome!

That's awesome! Keep it up.

Thanks Tommy. Cheers - Dave

It's pretty self-explanatory. It's called Posture Screen and they have a lot of videos on how to use the app on their website. It's not a free app but worth the purchase.

Cheers man! Appreciate the comment. Best - Dave

Never heard of them. Honestly, as long as you can get insurance and get hired, it really doesn't matter. As a trainer, your results for your clients, those are the real credentials.

What was the context of the case study? What did they specifically ask you to do?

Explain...

You're welcome. Indeed, the fundamentals are everything.

Check out the McGill Method and all the books from Dr. Stuart McGill. Game-changing stuff!

@@DaveMacLeanPT Great stuff, thanks. I looked at the web site briefly and will save this for later on and for continuing ed. Most recently I've gotten into foot to core training which has helped my back along with knees ankles and feet. So I hope to incorporate that into my niche. Focusing on older clients, balance, human movement and strengthening. EBFAglobal and Barefoot Strong are my resource mostly for this with training cert. to add to my knowledge base.

Thanks Daniel. Glad I could help on your journey. Cheers -Dave
