One thing I've found helpful is including clients in on the program design. After all it is about them. It doesn't mean that we don't have some say ...it just means understanding clients needs & wants.For example, some clients may think that they are ready for advanced exercises but you discover along the way that they haven't gotten the fundamentals of exercise down pack. So with that , it is teaching them how to scale back to be able to progressive forward in order to achieve their desired results

Considering the O.P.T. model it's easier to align the milestones of each stage from stabilisation endurance training to power training with the clients goals. It is however important to incorporate the clients hobbies into the routine i.e. for a client that loves cycling it is easier to work on their fitness through cycling in addition to the exercises done with gym equipment or at home with no equipment. This helps to keep the client motivated towards achieving his/her training goals.

By Properly utilizing Education As a Powerful functional Tool within the realm of exercise, it will be able to allow the opportunity for encouragement and proper motivation to celebrate one’s progress over time.

By Properly Maintaining a Proper feedback loop it is extremely Vital for a person to ensure each training goal is catered toward the needs and goals of the client. This will properly allow a Sense of Satisfaction in each client as they properly improve their fitness journey over time.
