Personal Trainer's Toolkit: Client Onboarding and Fitness Testing

Learn how to onboard clients and health screen in a fitness setting.

This two-week course provides you with the knowledge you need as a health and fitness professional to successfully prepare your client for a training programme.

You’ll gain an understanding of the orientation and pre-screening requirements, and how you can use this knowledge to create a comprehensive and effective onboarding process.

You’ll also explore how you can use fitness testing to better understand your client’s baseline so you can create a fitness programme that is tailored to their needs.

Understand your role as a fitness professional
