40 - 65 % of new exercisers will cease activity within 3 - 6 months- improves by 50 % with personal training over 24 weeks

68 % of clients do not return to work with their trainer on account of a negative experience – only 14 % cite pricing changes or costs

Personal training penetration rate is estimated at only 3.5 - 6.5 % of the membership base (vs. 20 – 25 % in Group Fitness).

12 % naysayers, 45 – 55 % self-directed… remaining 33 %?

56.2% of people who quit exercise cite their key reason was that their programming was too difficult and not enjoyable

The ACE IFT™ Model provides the tools to: Skillfully develop professional personal relationships Strategically adapt to different personality stylesSuccessfully promote behavioral change strategiesCreate an overall positive experience for clients that builds long-term adherence to exercise.Optimize training to an individual’s unique needs, goals and characteristics

Developing successful professional relationships with individuals involves four stages that occur sequentially.

Unlike the three latter stages that have somewhat clearly defined timelines, rapport is ongoing, continuing to develop throughout the relationship.

Biggest Mistake - Not taking time to acquaint yourself with your client before entering investigation/.

Be attentive and empathetic regardless of personal opinion.Separate meaningful content from superfluous information. Don’t get caught on trigger words (hot buttons) that distract you from listening and understanding the entire message.Be aware the person’s emotional patterns change based upon the nature of the content being discussed.Be conscious of how cultural and ethnic differences affect communication (e.g. averting eyes from a person while speaking).

7-11 Rule 7-11 Rule

Environment - extensionEnvironment - extensionPersonal TouchPersonal Touch

Attend to the environment :Where do you first meet….

Create a nurturing, yet professional environment by meeting in a quiet, comfortable area.

o Lighting, music, etc.Avoid high traffic areas, distractions or attempting to establish rapport with a walk-around (e.g., facility tour) or social setting.Do not sit behind a desk – face your client to create a level of comfort.Be attentive to your own personal appearance (clothing, grooming, jewelry, etc).

Communicate effectively:Verbal communication translates only part of the message people send.

Verbal communication conveys the verbal content.o Vocal tonality, fluctuations in pitch, etc.

Non-verbal communication conveys the true feeling behind the content.o Posture, positioning, facial expressions, gestures, eye contact, etc.


Attending behaviors:Perhaps the most-under appreciated and misconstrued component to communication:

Distance and orientation (body positioning).Posture and position, mirroring and gestures.Eye contact and facial expressions.

Listen effectively:Humans speak 125 – 250 words / min; hear up to 500 words / min. Effective listening implies attention to content and emotion.

Indifferent listeningSelective listeningPassive listeningActive listening


Interactive Exercise One :Partner with the person next to you - assume roles1. Fitness professional2. Prospective clientBriefly role-play an initial 60 seconds of a first meeting together with one goal – lay foundation to establishing rapport. Reverse roles, repeat.


Rapport Checklist PT Client% time speakingOrientation / postureOpen-ended questions ?Conversation topic(s) ?Mirroring / gesturingFacial expressions?

While trying to develop rapport, you need to simultaneously identify the personality index of the person(s) to whom your are speaking.Successful practitioners adapt their communication and teaching techniques to the personality style of their participants.

Never forget the Cardinal Rule ..

“Treat others the way they want to be treated, NOT how you want to be treated “

Personality IndexingPersonality Indexing

Personality style reflects an individual’s characteristics, thoughts, feelings, attitudes, behaviors, and coping mechanisms.

Daves & Holland Model:People can be classified based on whether they score low or high on the dominance (influence thinking / actions of others) and sociability scales.

Versatile Communications Management is your ability to move into their dimension to garner trust and support, and manage your ownpersonality style.

First, assess your own personality style first.

Survey Instructions:Complete the dominance and sociability surveys scoring appropriate scores for each word that best reflects personality.A score of “1” is “not descriptive of the person” , score of “7” is “very descriptive of the person.”Sum the scored numbers for a total score of each dimension.Rate the dimension scores using the scale table. Ask 3 close friends / family to rate you as a comparison.


Interactive Exercise Two :Complete both surveys to assess your own personality style as you perceive yourself.

Behavior Behavior –– Stages of ChangeStages of Change

Golden Rules:Identify readiness to change behavior Identify stage of behavioral change – Apply appropriate strategies to move forward


How to administer?

Decisional Balance

Decision-making towards healthier behavior involves consideration of the pros / cons of changing behavior.

Differences explain why individuals move through stages of change. Shift between pros and cons as one progresses through stages:

o Pre-contemplation and contemplation stage: Perceive more risks in changing behavior than benefits.

o Preparation stage: Benefits and risk appear equal.o Action and maintenance stage: Perceive more benefits than risks in

changing behavior.

Goal: Shift decisional balance and influence perceptions of pros and cons. Diffuse anxieties and irrational beliefs (misinformation, previous experiences) in an informational and neutral manner (avoid being confrontational).



Decisional Balance Strategies: 1. Ask client to document perceived benefits vs. costs of change, ranking

relevance of each.2. Ask them to identify strategies to achieve pros / minimize impact of cons. 3. Help realize / recognize additional benefits (as needed) to outweigh cons).4. Think creatively to identify easily-implementable strategies to bring about

change and minimize impact of cons.


Self-Efficacy

Defined as a belief in one’s own capabilities to complete a task. The more capable one feels regarding their ability to engage in activity, the more likely they are to adhere.Determinant and outcome of behavior. Self-confidence is more global while self-efficacy is more task-specific and influenced by:

o Past performance and experiences - most influentialo Vicarious experienceso Verbal persuasiono Physiological states or responseso Emotional states or responses o Imagery experiences

Interactive Exercise Three:

Joe is an overweight, construction worker who has smoked for the past 25 years. After suffering a mild heart attack, his physician suggested he adopt a healthier lifestyle of physical activity, weight management and smoking cessation in order to improve his quality of life. Joe joined a health club, utilized his one complementary free training session then proceeded to follow a basic aerobic program outlined by his physician. Yet after 3 months of sporadic participation, he only lost 4 pounds and did not successfully quit smoking. Frustrated, he cancelled his membership and returned to his previous lifestyle. After another mild episode and some stronger suggestions from his physician, he returned to the health club again to make a change, but on this occasion, he decides to make an appointment to meet with a personal trainer.

1. With respect to the stages of change model, in what stage would you assume Joe currently exists?

2. Examine the Decisional Balance Worksheet – how would he weight this worksheet (number of items / strategies in each section).

3. Identify a strategy that might be implemented to boost his self-efficacy.


NOT all clients need or desire assessments initially. De-motivating to some individuals - proves counterproductive to overall experience.

Uncomfortable, intimidated, overwhelmed or embarrassed by current physical condition.Intimidated by complexity of protocols.Unable to cope effectively with results.

Standardized tests? Push-up test – which protocol (chin to floor - CSEP), chest to cup –(Military); how relevant is upper extremity endurance to ADLs?

Note: VT1 = First ventilatory threshold (seen at the “Crossover Point”)

Fuel Utilization Under Increasing Exercise IntensitiesFuel Utilization Under Increasing Exercise Intensities

During exercise, higher intensities increase respiratory rates linearly with the exception of two key deflection points where significant ventilatory changes occur:

VE ‐Minute Ventilation ‐ volume of air moving into and out of the lungs per minute

VT1 ‐ First Ventilatory Threshold ‐ due to increased CO2 production as primary fuel utilized changes (fat carbohydrate); corresponds with initial accumulation of blood lactate

VT2 ‐ Second Ventilatory Threshold ‐ associated with a rapid increase in blood lactate (lactate > 4.0 mmol/L)

Protocol Protocol -- Submaximal Talk Test for VT1Submaximal Talk Test for VT1

Use caution with reading on a treadmill given the potential risk of falling

HR varies between treadmills, bikes, etc., so utilize your client’s preferred mode of exercise

This assessment should be performed prior to any other fatiguing exercise on the test day

Step 1 3 ‐ 5 minute warm‐up with HR < 120 bpm (RPE of 2 to 3)

Step 2 Begin 1st stage of test measuring steady‐state HR (60‐120s usually adequate)

Step 3 Recite / read text out loud continually during last 20 ‐ 30 sec of each stage (something familiar such as the pledge of allegiance, alphabet, etc.)

Step 4Upon recital completion, ask if this task felt “easy”, “uncomfortable‐to‐challenging”or “difficult” (uncomfortable‐to‐challenging = VT1)

Step 5 If talk‐threshold has not been reached, increase each stage intensity by a work rate that elicits a HR increase of 5 bpm and repeat stage (pre‐determine incremental increases for desired response)

Step 6 Continue until “talk threshold” is reached (HR at VT1). Use a HR monitor for easier measurement. Ideally, average HR at VT1 from 2 separate tests should be assessed.

Step 7 3 ‐ 5 minute cool down at same intensity as warm‐up

Case Study Case Study –– Our Client Our Client

Case Study Case Study -- The ACE IFTThe ACE IFT™™ ModelModel

Client: George, 44-year old executive.Former assistant to the Travel Secretary for the New York Yankees, who needed to take a brief leave of absence due to health issues

After a failed brief tenure as an architect with Vandelay Industries, he has returned to the Yankee organization - rehired again as the Assistant to the Travel Secretary.

Organization participates in an annual charity event 3-on-3 basketball tournament, but he could not participate in the most recent event due to his health.

He has now been cleared for exercise however, and this year aims to excel in the event using Jimmy’s spring shoes.

“Nobody ever says it's them, not me. If it's anybody, it's me”


Goals:Improve and maintain his health (reduce his CAD risk factors) byconsistently following a program.Prepare for the upcoming charity basketball tournament 14 weeks from today.Lose 20 lbs, improve his definition and appearance now that he is single again after the tragic loss of his fiancée to a stamp-licking incident .Improved energy, so he no longer needs to take naps under his desk.

“You're killing independent George”


Health History (overview of SOAP notes):• Overweight (20+ lbs.).• Hypertension and Pre-metabolic syndrome.• Doctor’s Rx: Stress management, exercise, make healthier dietary choices -

cut back on eating out at restaurants /diners.Lives in Manhattan, walks around his neighborhood.Enjoys occasional basketball with his friends.Participates in occasional weight training with his friend.

As you continue to establish rapport with George, you learn the following:

Appears insecure, neurotic, yet lovable man who is invariably dominated by his parents.

“My name is George. I'm unemployed and I live with my parents”

Assessments and Observations:Behavioral:

Committed to change behavior – poor track record with adherenceLow self-efficacyPersonality Style: Expressor (high dominance and sociability) – coping strategy for his own insecurities.

o Animated: Energetic, interactive, influencing, talkative.

Physiological Assessments (recommended):Postural: - ankle pronation, anterior hip tilt, rounded shoulders, forward head.Movement Screens: General lack of stability and mobility.No aerobic fitness or body composition test conducted.

Physiological Assessments (requested):Vertical Jump: 6”.40 yard dash: 7.2 seconds.


“My father was a quitter, my grandfather was a quitter, I was raised to give up. It's one of the few things I do well”

Plan:Behavioral:

Build self-efficacyUse extrinsic reinforcements (motivators) as he appears to respond well to incentives and rewards.Set (document) goals.

o Share his vision and enthusiasm; show support for his goals by stressing the exciting facets of his vision.

Provide adequate information to justify your program plan without overwhelming him with details as he is not detail-orientated.Avoid being:

o Directive, unyielding, inflexible or too structured.

o Too restrained or conservative.o Indecisive or wavering.


“My name is Art Vandelay. I'm an architect”

Plan:Physiological and Nutritional:

Nutrition: Educational focus on making healthier choices at restaurants / diners, controlling portion sizes, not skipping breakfast and more frequent meals.Cardiorespiratory:

o On-boarding – develop experience & self-efficacy, using RPE x Volume Model until VT1 can be tested.

o Build aerobic efficiency while his performance training will develop energy systems needed for basketball.

Resistance and Movement:Promote stability-mobility relationshipIntroduce movement trainingLoad – linear progression towards undulating- metabolic workoutsPerformance: BB-specific and energy systems.


“If you take everything I've accomplished in my life and condense it down to one day, it looks decent”

Avoid heavy loads with weak muscles – muscles will resort to

faulty pathways and recruit type II (phasic) fibers)

As kinetic chain lacks ability to stabilize multiple segments simultaneously, focus

initially upon segment isolation using supports (e.g., floor, backrest) and seek to

enhance kinesthetic feedback

Monitoring Training Load using Monitoring Training Load using Session RPESession RPESession RPE was developed as a method for monitoring combined intensity & duration of exercise sessions *

Client rates the overall intensity of an exercise session about 30 minutes after conclusion using the category ratio (0 to 10) RPE scale

Rating is multiplied by duration of exercise at that intensity

Score represents combined intensity & duration of the bout (training load) **

Allows for programming using RPE intensities for each session based on current fitness using appropriate frequency, intensity, and progressions

Use Session RPE to create weekly training plans and progressions based on RPE training volume…

o Increase program appeal o Establish challenging, yet manageable goals (build self-efficacy).

EFI – emotional tracking o Make sessions fun, engaging and memorable

Obstacle management (identify obstacles, offer simple solutions).Establish effective support systemsTake ownership of goal setting (SMART) – “On-boarding” (Process) goals Use effective reinforcements – emphasize extrinsic motivators (participation)Provide options / alternative activities to diffuse attitudes, belief systems, aversions or obstacles that are consistent with client goals. Develop written agreements and behavioral contracts.Stimulus control / cue extinction. Cognitive restructuring and positive self-talk.
