How to Create a Personal Training Session | Program Design and Flow 

Hi guys! I'm a new professional in the fitness industry and your videos and free forms (thanks) have been very useful for me and help me to build my confidence as a new PT. I have a question: if a client wants to have a PT session once a week, but workout 2 to 3 days per week, should I design a 2 or 3 days program so they can keep going during the week without my supervision? how I track what are doing wem I'm not there?

I've been a Personal Trainer for 8 years and I must say I'm learning a lot from your videos. I'm always a student to life. Keep up the great videos.

Love these advices, awesome job 👍

You can achieve progressive overload in supersets fairly easy. You just need to manipulate reps/% RM/rest in between super sets.

Hi guys.. Just to say that you're doing a great job helping us PTS 👏💪

I typically stick with Supersets. It's seemed to have provided the best feedback this far. Thank you as ALWAYS, for this great content, Jeff. Wish we could've link up, prior to my move from MA.

Great info!! Hard to believe this is all free!!! ❣️👏👏👏👏

As a new personal trainer, these videos have been SO helpful. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Another great video. thank you. :) Super-sets are my go-to during my own training and with my clients. I try for a balanced approach. Push with pull. Agonist with antagonist. etc.

SUPERB!!!!!!

Another great video! I did circuit sets one winter and lost almost 20 pounds felt great but lost a lot of muscle size. I do more tri sets routine now and as the workout goes on I move into super sets and then finish with back to back trying to allow some cardio and muscle development balance. I try to hit upper body then add a leg workout in the tri set to make the heart move the blood through out the body. Mixing it up at my age feels good . As summer gets closer I tend to slow down into back to back to gain more muscle and do every day to complete all the muscle systems. I now have added HIIT and balance training once a week Changing it up through the year makes it fun.

This was extremely helpful 😊

Best channel ever

I am recommending your channel to new trainers and you are popular. I’ve read others recommending you too.

I am a fulltime PT for 8 years now. I used to do tons of circuits with short-term weight-loss folks. My long term clients (6 years plus) - I keep changing up according to their needs.

Super sets are definitely a favorite of mine. I also like to program a circuit that really burns from time to time, guess that’s the CrossFit in me. 💪 The biggest thing for me is making sure it is all measurable and keeping track to see what is working well for your client or not so well and amend accordingly. Programs should always be evolving to suit your clients.

Supersets help thing ls flow well but thank you for introducing me to tri sets

Love supersets/trisets

Hi Jeff, have you any videos on training 2 clients at the same time? If not I’d love to hear your tips and thoughts on this. Your content is great. Helps so much 👍🏻

Nice

❤

Loving your content, just subscribed! Question: For your workout chart, you have lower body, push, pull, core. What happens if you wanted to do pull before push, for example? How do you chart the sequence of progression for each movement in the workout? Thanks!

Great overview! Can you clarify in the “back2back,” “superset,” and “triset,” what would be the recommended rest periods?

I might have missed the video when searching but is there a video you can do showing us the best way to set goals with a client and how best to adhere to them?

Im old school I do it back to back

Can we perform superset exercises by doing x no of sets of dumbell press them x no of sets for bent over rows...or it should always be one set of this and one set of that

🙏🏿😀👍🏻❤️

Can you give a Example programme for new PT's for weightloss please

Thoughts? Clients primarily want to lose weight: tri set or quad set but the 3/4 exercise is hiit or just jumping Jacks say. Basically a way to incorporate their cardio/calorie deficit into training as most clients don’t do cardio on their own.

In circuit training other people might be using the machines so how to we manage to do the circuit ?

Would you do the one style for the entire session or just incorporate it in?

How would you structure a full body workout 2/3 times a week? Like what movements. Thanks!

I plan on being a personal trainer in the next couple of months, I just want to ask that a session here in the PHILIPPINES only last about 1 hour maximum, should i follow that or is it better to make the session a bit longer by say, 15 minutes? i don't want to shortchange my clients, not unless they are in a time restriction. what do u think about this JEFF?

Quick question. A lot of my clients during supersets, they only get about 3 supersets done ( 6 exercises) before it’s time to do 10 mins of cardio at the end. Do you think that’s enough? I do 45 min sessions.

I really dislike trisets and circuits, there is really no benefit to doing these the “cardio” u get from it is totally negligible since ur using strength exercises and the only reason to structure the workout this way is like you said clients that dont know any better feel like they are getting more done and they can get away with not really straining themselves on any particular exercise, it also makes form way harder to coach since ur only doing 1 set then moving on, the client has to wait until they circle all the way back around to implement any advice u give by which time they’ve probably forgotten what u said entirely. Ultimately they result in way less gains across the board and I’d rather just educate my clients against it than cave into thier ignorance. And if a client is interested in doing more cardio id rather just program a shorter strength section and then have the ladder half be a circuit with aerobic exercises tho not strength exercises.
