Probably one of the most important traits a personal trainer can have is the ability to identify and understand a client's [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] individual needs and then be able to translate it into an appropriate exercise program. Some clients may have lower back pain, others diabetes. Whatever the ailment, a good trainer should [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] be able to identify it and work to help [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] alleviate/improve the client's life situation. A first step to helping a client make a change involves the ability to identify what mindset or "stage of change" they are in. This is also known as the "Stages [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] of Change" or the "Transtheoretical Model".
The transtheoretical model (TTM), was developed by James Prochaska from the University of Rhode Island back in 1977. TTM was developed as a way to help better understand where a person is in their life in relation to helping them change a habit or repeating action, such as smoking.
There are five parts to the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] stages of change:
*Pre-contemplation-those not interested in taking [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] action in the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] near future, at least for the next six months
*Contemplation-those that are interested in learning how to change in the next six months
*Preparation-those that are planning on taking action in the immediate future, usually within the next month
*Action-those that have made modifications in their lives within the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] last six months Maintenance-those that are continuing their modifications, and making sure they do not relapse, usually from 6 months after to 5 years
*Termination-those that have successfully changed and have no temptation to relapse
It is important to know what stage a potential client is at. If for example you meet someone who is in the pre-contemplation stage, using information such as facts as to why they need to lose [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] weight if they are diabetic, is likely to not work, as they are not interested in hearing it. However, if the person is in a state of contemplation, they [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] will be more willing to listen to what [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] you have to say, which could help move them into a stage of preparation.
Not everyone believes in the TTM model. In fact there is little experimental evidence to show that following the model can actually help an individual. However it is good to keep in mind that when speaking with a potential client, not all of them are at the same point in life. You may have to adjust what you say to the client or you could [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] potentially scare them away from wanting to use you as their main fitness professional.
