So glad I found your channel Jeff. I’m just staring my PT business and let me tell you, your channel is a gold mine! You just earned yourself a new sub.
Thank you so much Jeff. I have been binge watching your videos as I just started my PT journey a few weeks ago. All your videos have been extremely helpful to me. Keep doing what you do Jeff!
Jeff! I just had to reach out and let you know your the best! I'm closing in on 64, and with your help I am getting those active agers going, as I am now a Senior Exercise Specialist. ACE was a more challenging route to go, but with the seniors their curriculum is pretty much spot on,. Thanks for getting me through that exam. One of my favorite group exerciser turned 100 years old today, my average is 86 . I mostly go to senior communities for group exercise, but now I have started to pick up clients for personal training, again your help getting them started has been tremendous, love the "know this before training" playlist. Your new best friend - kevin's kindahealthy😁
Thanks so much for the kind words Kevin!!5”/4 you have found the content helpful and are doing well in your training and specific niche! Keep up the good work man!
You are by far the best help on beginning a career in personal training! Your content is so simple and easy to learn quick! Thank you and keep them coming!!!
Hi guys! I'm a new professional in the fitness industry and your videos and free forms (thanks) have been very useful for me and help me to build my confidence as a new PT. Thanks again and looking forward to more content.
Thank you for these resources I just got my liscense and a friend of mine hammered home the importance of being organized so hear I am organizing and hear you are making it easier
Thank you for the free download. I find your channel very informative. I'm just starting out as a newly qualified PT, and need as much guidance as possible.
Jeff Thankyou so much first off, you’ve been a huge support (behind the scenes) as I am about to open my first business!! Quick question how do you score on a movement screen?
Thanks Amanda! It’s always good to hear that our content is helping! We use the FMS movement screen which comes with its own scoring system. There’s honestly no way I could do it justice in a UA-cam comment but there are guides out there that describe how to score the different movements in that screen.
Thanks! I’m glad you found them helpful! Our newer programming videos go into more detail on some of our more updated forms. I’d recommend checking them out if you haven’t already. Here’s one here: ua-cam.com/video/ADLjzEr3a-4/v-deo.html
New subscriber here, love the video and freed downloads! Definitely going to have to find the time to binge watch your content soon. Though question, is there a Workout chart I can download that has or includes cardio?
Thanks! I appreciate the support! Our workout chart doesn’t include cardio but you could certainly write it in at the bottom or top as both have open spaces. We have a spot where we track that separately in my business. That being said, most of our clients are general population clients who are focused on weight loss. We find that with cardio, we don’t have to track things as closely as we would with resistance training. Getting them to do the cardio, and just be consistent with it is the key!
Hey man, these videos are golden! Would you have clients track their own workouts when they aren't training with you, if you only saw them once a week for example? Or do you just track the sessions they do with you?
Thanks! Glad that you’re finding them helpful! For in person clients it’s pretty rare that they’d actually be willing to track their workouts outside of the sessions themselves. I’ll still try to get a general idea of what these clients are doing on the workouts that they’re doing on their own. For clients who come in once week often times I’ll create basic routines for them to do outside of sessions but it definitely depends on the client.
Thanks for the video! I’m a new trainer and a bit flummoxed by programming. I love the chart, but am curious about a few things. (1) why start out doing deadlifts week 1 and never doing them week 2 or 3? DL can be a hard exercise to do well. Was something observed in the clients movement that warranted a shift to band walks and thrusts? I see the latter two as good movement prep for the DL or SQ, which are optimal movements. (2) Are the exercises ordered in a certain way? I could see it being organized in the most compound movement at the top of the list then listed in a manner where the movement is broken down into exercises that would ultimately help achieve that optimal goal. I can see this breakdown in the leg list with SQ and DL at the top. But the push and pull lists less so. Perhaps because I see the push-up as more optimal than the bench press? Curious what your thoughts are on that. (2) Would you expect exercises on the chart as a linear progression? Does it mean I’d coach my client to do all legs first then push exercises then pulls? (3) what are your thoughts on pairing agonists together - LBP then UBP then LBA with UBA? I’ve heard it increases blood flow and improves movement that way. Doing pushes before pulls seems odd since pulls should take priority over push movements. Sorry for the long comment but I’m trying to understand it all - especially the client workouts that I inherited. Thanks.
Thanks for the support! I really appreciate it! You could certainly do deadlifts for multiple sessions in a row. This was just meant to be an example, not necessarily how you should always program. Band walks and thrusts are just good overall moves that should be done by almost all clients. In this example nothing warranted a shift, but there is no reason to not include those moves. The exercises are not ordered in any specific way. The chart is just meant to show your clients progress and previous workouts easily. This video in general is more about understanding the chart rather than programming. We have other videos that cover programming. I would not say that the push-up is more optimal than the bench press, but then again that would depend on the specific client. To your questions at the bottom, you can do the exercises in any order that you think would work best for your client. You should typically do compound moves first, but It will be different for everyone. The order that the exercises are in on the chart has no effect on the order that you should complete them in. I think pairing exercises like you listed could work well. Tbh there are many ways that could work just as well. This is one of those things that totally depends on your specific client.
Hi Jeff and thanks again for the detailed information on programing. I wanted to know if you can provide the exact link for the first two programming videos because I can't seem to find it. I would appreciate that a lot. Thanks in advance and keep making these videos. They are very helpful.
Love your videos! I am a new PT and I am so nervous about going out on my own. I am a little confused about one thing. If you have a client that comes in once a week, on the same day every week - do you need to be changing up their workout? I am confused about this because I thought that during each phase (6 weeks) your client sticks to the same workouts, and they change in their next phase. So that their body can have time to adapt to the workout etc
Thanks for your support! Within the phase you are doing similar reps/sets and exercises but the workouts your clients are doing should be different each time. So, if you have a client coming in once per week, their workout should look different each time while staying within the same phase. That being said, Clients that come in once a week are sometimes different too as they are often working on things on their own outside of their training session which might impact what you’re working on with them.
Good day Jeff. Fast becoming a fan of Sorta Healthy. One small question. Have ever thought of digitizing this form, such that exercise selections, weights, reps and sets are easy to pick. We are now learning that IT is helping workflows to be easier, quicker and more convenient. What am trying to bring is, have you thought of maybe an app to have this form? I really don't know if am making sense... Thank you
Thanks man! I appreciate it! We’re planning on digitizing this form at some point. We’ve actually tried already but it makes it harder to change it on the fly when you’re in a session. At least that’s been the case so far. It’s something that we’ll be continuing to work on going forward though!
Hey Jeff, I would like to know in your work sheet you are doing full body workout for clients what about other push pull legs or one muscle part in a single session????
Thanks for the video as always great content.one question is there how you write if your client is using Different weights for a particular exercise & how you write that in your chart for example Set 1 - 15 kg db chest press for 15 reps Set 2 - 17.5 kg db chest press for 12 reps Set 3 - 20 kg db chest press for 10 reps Thank You !!!
Thanks I appreciate that! We still manage to fit all of that in the box or sometimes we’ll write it in an adjacent box and write a note. It can get a little cramped but it’s the best solution we’ve found.
Hi Jeff, Thank you for the chart. The only challenge is it prints very small, not much room to add anything.Is there anyway to print a larger version? Thanks
When downloading and printing, you can try adjusting the settings so that it reduces the margins on the sides or fills the full page. Many printers have different default settings so you might have to play with it a bit to get it right for you. We usually hit “fit to page” and it prints them the correct size. The boxes aren’t that large, but they are big enough for weights/reps/sets and abbreviations if needed. If we need extra room, sometimes we’ll use the extra empty boxes or just make notes above or below.
Hey this was a great video..I do have a question how do you know when your client is able to move up in weight ? Do you wait until she can complete the sets flawlessly or do you slightly move up in weight weekly regardless ..I know that sounds bad because you don't want to injure your client. But some need that extra push or get lazy. Which can slow down progress and you want to make sure your creating muscle confusion.
I think that before moving up in weight your clients form should be as close to perfect as possible. If you think they’re form, or lack thereof could lead to injury in anyway don’t increase their weight yet. I also always ask them “does that feel easy, medium, or hard?” and will adjust weight up if it’s easy/medium and their form looks good.
Hi Jeff - I watched your video on programming - supersets, tri-sets and circuit. You expressed the "sweet spot" in programming as between superset and triset. Which did you choose to use in the video? I counted 10 exercises plus a metabolic. Do you superset or tri-set these, then do the metabolic as a finisher? Thank you for your input!
In this example, they were all supersets! The metabolic can either be a finisher or pieces can be thrown into a superset/triset as well (example: lunges and rope waves).
Hey! I couldn't access the chart via that link, but thank for the content nevertheless, i'll build one of my own inspired on yours, ofc if anyone asks i'll tell them from where the inspiration came from! ;)
