Jeff from Sorta Healthy here! As personal trainers, we've always been told that it is important to assess clients and that we should be doing it all.the.time. For better or worse, over the years I’ve become increasingly anti-assessment. Well, I’m anti a certain type of assessment anyways, let me explain. Over the years as both a personal trainer and business owner, I've found a few things to be true. 1. Personal training clients don't want to give up a session to do an assessment. 2. As Fitness trainers we assess clients weekly during actual sessions so we don't need to make it "formal."  3. Many training clients don't actually care that much about their assessment results. With that, I'm sharing my newer and more streamlined personal training assessment process and if you already watched the video then you know this comes with some free forms too which can be downloaded below! Link: Over 200K people have watched my original assessment video and I hope that this one makes the process of assessing personal training clients less daunting!  How do you assess clients? Does your gym have a formal assessment that you have to follow or do you have to figure that stuff out on your own as a solo personal trainer? Are you anti-assessment in general, or do you feel like certain assessments still have their place? Let’s hear it! Let me know all your personal training assessment thoughts in the comments! Thanks for the support guys! -Jeff and Alexis You can download the forms we use in our personal training business by going to this link: https://www.sortahealthytrainered.com/freepersonaltrainingforms ---- Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/17X4Pb7gYJ5LLTiQwuAkhQ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sortahealthyjeff Our in-person business: https://www.commencefitness.com
