Feeling very positive after watching your videos Chris, there are thousands of people trying to say why a career as a trainer is not a good idea and very few who actually showing how to be successful as a trainer. Thanks for the positivity chris
Hey great video really enjoy the beginner series.. I wanted to thank you for your help- I passed my NASM last week and your videos on chapters 6, 7 and 14 really helped. Thanks again 💪
Great video, Chris! I'm currently going through NASM to become a CPT and will be taking my exam in April. I look forward to working with clients this year and this video was very helpful and informative. I took notes! Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the info! I’m avid gym goer looking to become more of an expertise in the industry and possibly CPT. I would love to possibly connect to learn more
From the organizations I've learned from I've never seen the use of circuits like this so early on for clients. I can see how this would be an effective use of time to make the sessions shorter while targeting the necessary movements but wouldn't this cause too much fatigue? Also, you recommend changing up the acute variables so often but wouldn't this technique slow physiological adaptations? Or is it better to program this way for a general population client just looking to improve their fitness and then make the acute variables more specific when you get into like a strength or hypertrophy specific stage?
All sessions are an hour. Core movement into core with an accessory. Antagonistic muscles allowing for agonists to rest while inducing a slight aerobic affect. Love to analyze the organizations you're describing. You need to also factor in a lot of your clientele will compare your workouts to higher intense classes like F45 / Bootycamps so that's not in your favor. People think that harder is better. This couldn't be further from the truth. It's about optimizing tension per set. True circuits would be a lot more compound movements like thrusters / burpees.
As acute variables, Learn more about Russian periodization. Changing up the variables per session is optimal (DUP) as long as it's appropriate. For example day 1 for a beginner: 20-15-12, next workout 18-16-14. Linear is fine, but DUP has been shown superior.
Would you still involve like chest work for a female client that’s trying to lose weight? You want to work all the movements as you said but usually they wouldn’t be too bothered about chest
Great info! I just found your channel and have already learned so much valuable information. Thank you for making videos.

i like to concept but 3 circuts in 1 hour is tough to do. when theres 3 sets per exercise
Fine tune the talking and flow that you control. I've been using CCA 1-3 for 3 sets for 20-years. Rarely do I change it.
So you are to include exercises for all of the movement patterns in every workout program?
Depends on how many days the client is working out. Goals etc. Learn all that and more when you become a Level 1 Coach.
Would you still involve like chest work for a female client that’s trying to lose weight? You want to work all the movements as you said but usually they wouldn’t be too bothered about chest
I’d say it’s less about the chest getting muscular and more about that muscle be strengthened and prepared for future exercises involving the chest
Seriously great information. Let's go. So much better than these stupid crazy or baby workouts and fad diets.
