Initial client assessment in order to get an idea of their fitness background. Also, discuss what are the goals they would like to achieve from this coaching experience. Afterwards, devising a training plan that would best suit the desired outcomes of the client. My focus is always being patient and meeting a client at their present fitness level, providing guidance and motivation throughout the training.
