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.

Maybe you have heard this question in the title of this podcast from a woman who has lit up the internet impersonating her German grandmother. Funny stuff for sure! It got me thinking about something we don't talk about enough as fitness professionals, which is the entertainment value of our work with people.

Ask yourself this question...do your clients find you interesting? Do they dread coming to your sessions not because of your exercise knowledge, but because you present a boring experience and they just aren't interested in spending time with you? Digest those questions while you listen/watch this episode.
