How can you use your clients' values and beliefs to create a more effective functional training program?

Some values and beliefs have to change. First listen to your client's values and beliefs. If they value everything above themselves or believe they can't succeed, we need to let them know they can. Respecting values and beliefs is also important. If a client follows a belief or has a value system where they cover mostly up, it's important to work with that and not try to change it. This can also affect how to speak to a client, for example, sense of humour.

The success of your clients' functional training programme can be considerably increased by having a thorough understanding of their values and beliefs. You can improve their motivation and adherence to the programme by coordinating it with their top priorities. Talk about their objectives, tastes, and any cultural or personal convictions that might affect how they approach exercise at first. Include activities and strategies that align with their principles to increase the program's significance and appeal to them. Additionally, during their fitness journey, draw inspiration and encouragement from their principles to help them stay dedicated and reach their objectives.

By understanding which VALS segment your clients belong to, you can tailor your functional training program to resonate with their core values and motivations. This personalized approach can lead to greater engagement, adherence, and ultimately, better results for your clients.

Partiremos sempre do entendimento da necessidade de cada cliente/Aluno! Esse ponto será primordial para planejarmos os seus treinos/exercícios de maneira eficaz objetivando sempre a melhoria de tal necessidade. Nesse planejamento deveremos trabalhar de maneira gradual aspectos inerentes como a complexidade e intensidade das tarefas propostas, para que possamos obter sempre um desenvolvimento positivo do nosso/nossa cliente.

In order to really work with any client understanding them and knowing their values is critical When you do you may be able to tailor your program to them and allow them to be more receptive to the program. People buy from people they like so they will be more willing to do the program and do some of the training that they are not that crazy about when they feel you get them and you hear them. After all isn’t that the true meaning of “personal training”??

People may not like the way it sounds but the old saying “keep it simple stupid” is more valuable than the VALS method. I simply ask my patient what their goals are followed by forms of exercise they enjoy and are willing to do as well as any exercises they hate and will not do. This creates a very straight forward framework for what form of exercise is going to motivate my client to be active and engaged. More importantly, which exercises they will be focused on performing independently. If they love doing arms, they can do that solo. The exercises your patient dislikes are the ones you should be doing in person. It keeps them accountable and you are there to remind them as to why they are doing them. This leads to more consistency.
