Flip the Script - Using Coaching Tactics to Maximize Your Client's Success

1 CEC

Presented by Neal Pire

Fitness professionals have been traditionally taught to “instruct” their clients - what to do, how much and how to do it. Unfortunately, this instructional model does not always address behavioral barriers – lack of motivation and confidence need to be overcome before a client successfully adopts and adheres to a “new” health behavior. This session will highlight some of these behavioral constructs and coaching tactics that a Fitness Professional can use to help a client overcome such barriers and successfully adopt the desired behaviors.

Fitness professionals will broaden their perspective so they think “beyond the exercise program design”.

Fitness professionals will be able to:

1. Understand the basics of behavioral change theories and how they relate to helping clients adopt and maintain a new behavior.
2. Effectively interview clients to obtain information about their desires, needs, and lifestyles to promote exercise adherence.
3. Develop relapse-prevention strategies with clients to facilitate long-term maintenance of exercise program.
