Our certifications and traditional formal educational pathways tell us to do physiological assessments with our clients, but what if that is no longer the right thing to do? Christin Everson comes on the Far Side of Fitness to discuss this alternative view on conducting physiological assessments for personal training clients.

Christin owns a fitness consulting and education business serving fitness businesses, recreation organizations, and their fitness professionals. Her work helps to redefine the fitness experience for new and returning exercisers by helping fitness professionals provide exercise experiences that facilitate belonging. Christin has an MS in Kinesiology and a BA in Psychology and is an ACE certified Health Coach, Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor, Medical Exercise Specialist, and Behavior Change Specialist.
