Personal training log for clients
CONVENTION UPDATE... North of the border
More than 110 delegates journeyed to Edinburgh for the REPs annual Scottish Convention in June. Keynote presentations were given by Jamie Edwards from Trained Brain and Ryan King from the Scottish Institute of Sport. Delegates could also take part in a series of eight workshops delivered by Fit Pro, Premier International Training, Lifetime Health & Fitness, Later Life Training, YMCA Scotland, The Fitness Industry Academy, EnergyWise Academy, plus our very own Rebecca Weissbort. The workshops covered a variety of topics including training clients with low back pain, working with older adults, exercise after stroke, and a Pilates session.
LIW update
REPs is producing a personal training log book for instructors to give to their clients in order to help them monitor their progress.
Printed in a handy A5 size, the booklet has pages to record fitness levels, exercise programmes, progressive reviews, long, medium and short term goals, weight and measurements, and muscular charts as well as nutritional advice, food diaries, exercise guidance and general health information.
REPs Registrar Jean-Ann Marnoch said: “As part of our drive to professionalise the industry we thought these personal training logs would not only be a useful tool for our members but also get the message out to the general public about the importance of choosing REPs registered instructors.
“As instructors we know the importance of keeping records in order to monitor progress and to help motivate clients to carry on their regimes and hopefully this will help them with that.”
The spiral-bound booklet will be available to all personal trainers from the latter part of this year.
A few remaining tickets are available for the REPs National Convention to be held during Leisure Industry Week on Thursday 23rd September at the Birmingham NEC. The day will include presentations from Dr Cath Sanderson (Leeds Met University) and Jamie Edwards (Trained Brain) and a choice of 10 workshops on subjects including postural analysis, behaviour change, Nordic walking, the ViPR training tool, and community activity. The programme will also allow time for the attendees to experience the industry’s premier trade show. If you’d like to attend see the REPs website www.exerciseregister.org for more details. See you there!
