Your client must acknowledge this and release you, as their trainer, of any liability.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Safety Waiver \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Inform prospective participants of potential risks involved with an activity and allow an individual to voluntarily choose to incur risks.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Contractual Agreement<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 This document is where I state my 24-hour cancelation policy. It also allows me to charge the client\u2019s session if they don\u2019t provide 24-hour notice. I do make exceptions to this policy as necessary (family emergency, etc.), but it\u2019s entirely at your discretion. This keeps my clients accountable and demonstrates the value of your time and service.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (Par-Q) with Health History Questionnaire<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 A Par-Q is a simple self-screening tool that can and should be used by anyone who is planning to start an exercise program. It is typically used by fitness trainers or coaches to determine the safety or possible risk of exercising for an individual based on their health history, and current symptoms and risk factors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">These forms can be emailed to your client. Instruct them to send the completed forms back and then file away either hard copies or online. Even if you keep paper copies, it\u2019s a good idea to add scanned copies to each client\u2019s personal (e.g., Google) folder as well. Make sure all forms are complete before their first training session with you. No matter how good a friend the client may be, always complete the forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">To streamline this process for my business, I host all forms on my website. When I receive a new client, I simply forward them one URL, and they have access to printable versions of each form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Warning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Remember to instruct clients to consult with their physician before beginning any exercise or nutrition plan and follow all safety recommendations. Your understanding of risks associated with the use of BodyFly and preview but not limited to online content, including fitness videos, you voluntarily elect to engage in such activities knowing that it may be hazardous to your person and property, and you waive any claims relating to such activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file aligncenter\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/bodyflyfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/client-intake-form-2.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of client intake form.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-71ccca9c-0a17-4e08-9aae-9a6048efcbb3\" href=\"https:\/\/bodyflyfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/client-intake-form-2.pdf\">client intake form<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/bodyflyfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/client-intake-form-2.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-71ccca9c-0a17-4e08-9aae-9a6048efcbb3\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file aligncenter\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/bodyflyfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Client-Fitness-Progress-Report-2.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Client Fitness Progress Report.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e55f5282-4855-4d10-9d87-35c6feb3089d\" href=\"https:\/\/bodyflyfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Client-Fitness-Progress-Report-2.pdf\">Client Fitness Progress Report<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/bodyflyfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Client-Fitness-Progress-Report-2.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e55f5282-4855-4d10-9d87-35c6feb3089d\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file aligncenter\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/bodyflyfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Initial-Fitness-Assessment-2.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Initial Fitness Assessment.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-1f999771-2b6a-46b8-a991-7ff01aeb02bb\" href=\"https:\/\/bodyflyfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Initial-Fitness-Assessment-2.pdf\">Initial Fitness Assessment<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/bodyflyfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Initial-Fitness-Assessment-2.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-1f999771-2b6a-46b8-a991-7ff01aeb02bb\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file aligncenter\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/bodyflyfitness.com\/website_31847406\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/PARQ2024.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of PARQ2024.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-7b2f7c60-30a7-4149-bcbb-9b2fbfba920e\" href=\"https:\/\/bodyflyfitness.com\/website_31847406\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/PARQ2024.pdf\">PARQ2024<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/bodyflyfitness.com\/website_31847406\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/PARQ2024.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-7b2f7c60-30a7-4149-bcbb-9b2fbfba920e\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file aligncenter\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/bodyflyfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sample-informed-consent-form-2.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of sample-informed-consent-form.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-aac1e40d-bdae-4743-a53f-24cbdc7581a5\" href=\"https:\/\/bodyflyfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sample-informed-consent-form-2.pdf\">sample-informed-consent-form<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/bodyflyfitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/sample-informed-consent-form-2.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-aac1e40d-bdae-4743-a53f-24cbdc7581a5\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Virtual and Online Training<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Whether you are running your own training business or working for a pre-existing company, it\u2019s important to always seek out alternative revenue streams. Why?\u00a0<strong>Because without a variety of revenue streams, you\u2019re trading your time for money\u2014and time is a limited resource.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">When a trainer is only making money in the hours they spend physically training clients, they are not only limiting their overall income opportunities but they\u2019re also leaving themselves at the mercy of their paying clients. What happens\u00a0if a client goes on vacation, gets sick, or takes a break from training? How about if you as a trainer get sick, go on vacation, or want to take a day off? Or if external factors prevent you from training? No money will be made! There are many options to create multiple revenue streams as a personal trainer such as\u00a0group training, which allows you to train more clients in an hour, hybrid training, hiring trainers to work underneath you and help with your in-person training hours, exploring corporate partnerships, and\/or selling clothing or supplements, etc. These are all great ways to supplement your revenue for times you are not training one-on-one clients, but there\u2019s one major revenue stream in particular that\u00a0every fitness professional should be exploring: online personal training.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Get Started with Online Training<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acsm.org\/read-research\/resource-library\/resource_detail?id=8bfc4133-f715-4197-827d-e3ee885690d5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fitness Training On-demand: Convenience and Value for the Consumer<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=e5kSyXyI4gY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Build an Efficient and Scalable Online Training Business<\/a>\u00a0| Presentation from Trainerize at the 2017 ACSM Summit<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acsm.org\/read-research\/resource-library\/resource_detail?id=2c938063-2970-48e8-b26b-ed1ae9cff420\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Incorporating Technology Into Your Personal Training Business<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/acsm-healthfitness\/Fulltext\/2016\/01000\/Online_Impersonal_Training_Risk_Versus_Benefit.10.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Online Impersonal Training Risk Versus Benefit<\/a>, by Anthony Abbot, Ed.D., FACSM, FNSCA, published in\u00a0<em>ACSM\u2019s Health & Fitness Journal\u00ae<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trainerize.com\/blog\/3-reasons-why-fitness-professionals-online-personal-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Three Reasons Why Every Fitness Professional Should Offer Online Personal Training<\/a>\u00a0from ACSM Sponsor Trainerize (external link)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Support Your Clients With At-Home Workouts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.acsm.org\/docs\/default-source\/files-for-resource-library\/time-saver-high-intensity-fitness-circuit-in-minutes.pdf?sfvrsn=cff87d1b_2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">High-Intensity Circuit To Do At Home<\/a>\u00a0| Infographic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.lww.com\/acsm-healthfitness\/Fulltext\/2012\/11000\/LEVERAGING_SOCIAL_MEDIA_TECHNOLOGIES_TO_HELP.6.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Leveraging Social Media Technologies to Help Clients Achieve Behavior Change Goals<\/a>, by Carol Torgan, Ph.D., FACSM, and Tara Cousineau, Ph.D., published in\u00a0<em>ACSM\u2019s Health & Fitness Journal\u00ae<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=d8FK82f4llo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Using Wearables and Technology to Encourage Healthy Behaviors<\/a>\u00a0presented by Christine Pellegrini, Ph.D., as a part of ACSM\u2019s Brown Bag Series in Science\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.acsm.org\/all-blog-posts\/certification-blog\/acsm-certified-blog\/2019\/03\/18\/fit-feature-wellness-coaching\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wellness Coaching: Delivering Change that Lasts\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","mpcs-curriculum-tags":[],"mpcs-curriculum-categories":[],"class_list":["post-23765","mpcs-lesson","type-mpcs-lesson","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bodyflyfitness.com\/website_31847406\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mpcs-lesson\/23765","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bodyflyfitness.com\/website_31847406\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mpcs-lesson"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bodyflyfitness.com\/website_31847406\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mpcs-lesson"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bodyflyfitness.com\/website_31847406\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"mpcs-curriculum-tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bodyflyfitness.com\/website_31847406\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mpcs-curriculum-tags?post=23765"},{"taxonomy":"mpcs-curriculum-categories","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bodyflyfitness.com\/website_31847406\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mpcs-curriculum-categories?post=23765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
