If you're trying to create the perfect personal training session for your client, you should watch this video now. Strength Coach Brian Klepacki, MS, CSCS, FMS, CISSN has been working with clients young and old and at all skill levels for over 15 years. Although some would refer to him as a "personal trainer" he calls himself a strength coach. This is partly due to his extensive background in the field.
He has a Master's degree in Exercise Science, is certified with the NSCA (National Strength & Conditioning Association), is a certified in Sports Nutrition and is certified to do the Functional Movement Screen.
If you're new to personal training and working with clients one on one or in small groups to help them get stronger, leaner, healthier and more fit, take 10 minutes to listen to someone who has been there and done that for a very long time with young and old athletes!
Training clients isn't an easy thing to do if you want to do it right. There are many things to consider, goals to make and plans to get them where they want to be...
Please leave any comments or questions you have about personal training / personal coaching below so that Brian can get back to you. We are happy to help you grow into your new career to help change and sculpt the lives of many people.

Good video, thanks!
Now I saw this video 5 year after it was posted. But a quick tip. Don't ever link to unsecure pages (looks kinda fishy). It does not help with credibility. Make sure to make you homepage https right away :)
And also, why write "TODAY ONLY" if it's not today only?
Sorry for sounding grumpy.
Keep up with the good content!
Honestly. Thank you so much for this video. I'm starting up as a personal trainer, and I honestly don't know much. The certification process just has us test out of a book, and I honestly dont feel ready for clients at all. I'm trying to learn more, and your youtube videos really help out
Thank you! Wishing you the best as you get started!
Same here man ! All the best!!
Same boat here man, the focus on importance of testing was key for me too to pick up on. We 'covered' it but the real impact and necessity of it was something I needed to get
I am not a personal trainer but I love your honesty. May I suggest something for you. Start your own business offering it for the lowest cost to your clients. People will pay for your time & & you will get more & more clients by word of mouth. Most people cannot pay the price that your competition is asking. As your business grows you can gain experience that will be invaluable. Just a thought for you. Good luck!
Lord of bubbles and robots , I feel the same way! Thank God for people like Coach Brian! 👊🏼 Thanks Coach!
He's a strength and conditioning coach cscs .The guy is literally trying to help personal trainers be better at their craft.
Thank you! I've learned a lot other the years that I know many will find helpful and to speed up their training curve.
I can not stress strongly enough DYNAMIC STRETCHING!!! There are so many lazy ass PT's who either don't implement it enough or is flat out absent from their client's sessions - I personally know of a few, but to each their own. Funny you bring up the research on static stretching. About 7 months ago they covered that in a seminar I attended and I followed it up w/ additional research showing it does in fact seem to be the trend - Less static stretching. As a personal trainer myself, I really like to implement rolling as it breaks the muscle density and prepares you for the workout and the beauty is that it also works for post training as well. Great vid though - This is something ALL newbies should be taking notes on because it's evident they're just simply not covering enough in some of these mediocre certs they're offering to people. Personally, I believe they want your money more than they want you to be qualified in fitness coaching...
Thank you. I’m a personal trainer and every so often i need a video like this to put things back into perspective.
You're so welcome!
THANK YOU so much for this video! I’m just starting in my personal training journey & it’s so encouraging to find a mentor on CZcams! Will definitely be watching all your videos as inspiration for my own fitness journey & the journey I will be leading my clients on. Thank you!!!

Keep up the great content @criticalbench
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Absolutely love this. My course feels like it was not in depth enough so trying to educate research and read as much as I can to have my clients better.
Awesome
Very thorough and professional. Wish this was the industry standard
that was so fantastic!! so helpfull you explained it so well thanks!!
You're welcome, Michelle :-)
Thanks for the reminders!
You are so welcome!
I really appreciate your emphasis on functional assessments when you start with a new client and then every 6-8 weeks to check in. I have a similar education background so maybe it’s my understanding of postural dysfunction and muscular imbalance, and what that really means when you’re coaching someone. It’s not like I can just have someone to do a walking lunge and assume that because they were able to do it that it means they performed it optimally with zero compensation. Not to mention ignoring those things increases your clients risk of injury which is irresponsible on the trainers part and also means that client won’t be buying anymore sessions until they heal if at all.
Thanks for your feedback!
Thank you for this video. This gave me some great feedback, Much appreciated.
You’re welcome!!
Appreciate the aid!
Thank you for the video, I've learnt lot of things....
You're most welcome!
Can you share this research about static stretching not increasing flexibility? Thank you so much for these vids man! I just got my certification yesterday and my business should be up within a month. I've been nervous about session structure but stumbling upon your videos is making me more confident!
Omg thank you so much I'm a qualified sport Manager but I get a lot of people asking me to be a their trainer or create monthly programs for them as I'm an athlete my self....this video helped me a lot even though I'm scared but this video helped
You're welcome. Glad this helped!
Awesome stuff man
Thank you
Great video very interesting and informative and insightful.
Thank you for watching!
Great video! Thanks 👍
You're welcome!
love your videos mate they help a lot. do you have a preference on what software or template you use when writing out a programme? or do you design your own? thanks Dillon
🙏🏾💪🏾🙏🏾 great vid. Helped me a lot
So glad this has helped you. Keep at it! :-)
So helpful!
Thank you
Thank you so much for this video!!! I just started Personal training and feel like it is just a workout… i feel Like I dont know what I am doing sometimes. This video will help me put a plan in place. Thank you!!!
You got this, Angelina! 💪
Thank you so much! Your videos have been helpful. I'm certified as a Group Fitness Instructor, but delving into Personal Training. What type of education would you suggest I pursue next? I feel getting certified as a personal trainer would be a lot of repeated info. Would it be more advantageous to strive for a degree in sports fitness, kinesiology, or something? Thanks!!
Hello Brian, Its inspiring to see ur video fist time on personal training. could you please suggests some good books on this?
Thanks in advance.
Sumit
Can't thank you enough brother! 👊🏼
No problem 👍
Thank you for this video really helpful! Quick question how would you design a programme for 34 yr old person who's looking to loose weight?
The best personal training session is the best for that particular client. There are many exercises depicted here that many people are not able to do. This is why I agree with doing an in depth assessment and then from there then you can come up with a "perfect"training session. If you are a new pt don't think that degrees etc are going to make you a better trainer, experience does that. So get experience in the gym and train lot of different people..
Great video good to watch i have a question i love to train good with my exercises but too great on programme writing you got any tips or videos?
leroy skeels You need help with programming?
Great video
Thank you
thanks for this info,i'm just certified as a fitness instructor can you place throw more light for me in that area?and am looking forward to get my pt lesson start.
like your videos.. I am a trainer but need to increase my skill set as a personal trainer.. do you offer mentoring? or can you direct me to where I can get certified in doing better assessments and programing? I like to learn how to give a functional assessment so I really understand there limitations and provide better programing.
Hey! Great video- just subscribed, what does a good assessment entail? New to the PT space but I have been passionate about weight training for a long time, considering going for my certification so I can become a PT but these videos are great.
Any certification program you enroll in will include a detailed PT assessment module : )
Bro you look like Alex Smith lol I had to double take for a second. Great info definitely will be checking out the rest of your vids
Thanks
Awesome
👊
Woww. You are really a good personal trainer. Thank you. I learnt something.
Thanks for commenting. Have an awesome day!
Hey Brian! If you see this comment I'd love to hear your response!
So I'm a new personal trainer with an EXS degree, and want to come up with the initial consultation/assessment. I know you went over briefly what the assessment is, but where can I go for a more in depth initial assessment? Another video on this topic would be great too! :D Let me know please and love the videos!
Any god templates to build on for assessments? I am just getting into the PT game, I wanna do this right.
I’m a trainer I haven’t heard about the FMS assessment. I always do an assessment with clients. Is this a course or something you can go by online?
Hi, I'm looking into getting certified as a PT. What program would you recommend? ISSA? ACE? NASM? Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Im new to personal training.
I think my biggest fear is coming up w/ quick effective workouts on the spot. Of course depending on the assessment is there some type of formula u have to know what to quickly have that person do.
I hope this question makes sense! Thank u!
Tricky to answer because there are a couple ways to go about this. One is that you have a basic bodyweight program that you can modify depending on your clients strengths and weaknesses.
Once you have been at this a little while coming up with workouts and exercises on the spot does get easier.
Criticalbench okay i see thank u !!!
I recently achieved my NASM certification and I have never tried anybody I am going to make a career change in doing this I am 100% all and just need to know the first approach when dealing with clientele whatever advice you can give me I’d appreciate it thank you and have a great day
How would you perform an assessment as a virtual training during the COVID-19 pandemic
Thanks for your video. I have a question . How much time I have to spend on the first assessment? I think it shouldn’t take all the time of first PT session with the new client..
Well that depends on the client. You want to be thorough & not overlook anything. However someone who has had PT training before and is in relatively good health with no concerns, injury or issues may take less time to do an assessment on. Be professional always
Tokyo drift music haha
Klepacki,
Polish? Wooo
Just straight facts and no BS from us Poles :)
What are some of your assessments that you do?
Find these a little intimidating, in the course for level 2 and 3 its basic questions, optional answers, so piss easy to pass... but obviously we want to provide a great service to our clients, and it just seems like that doesnt come with the qualification, i guess it's our own responsibility to develop that when we start working, but just prefer always being ahead rather than winging stuff and learning as i go personally.
Hello mate. I’ve been a freelance personal trainer for a few years now. I’m certified but it’s been a while since I sat the exam so the minutiae of certain data points aren’t fresh in my mind. I applied for a job at a corporate gym just before the COVID19 lockdown and got the job, but they said I still have to sit a short written exam, before I can begin work after the lockdown ends. I live in Asia so it’s not going to be all the legal stuff ACE focus on. It’s not very litigious out here and safety is also unlikely to be the focus of any exam. Do you have any experience of written examination for employment, and if so, do you have any advice or guidance on what to expect?
I’m expecting the focus to be basic anatomy, nutrition and sets, reps and rest for different goals. I don’t anticipate much in the way of ACE programming protocols or in depth cardio programming etc. At least I hope not!
I hope you can help 🤗
Cheers 💪
Hi Criticalbench. So, are SMR and static stretching not beneficial for a new client? This is NASM's guideline.
Hello! Static stretching has its place but is not the best form of stretching, especially for people who need movement in their lives. Here we are huge proponents of dynamic stretching, stretches that involve movement and help to improve both mobility and flexibility while heating up core temperature and ultimately are safer. Static stretching when used during and at the end of exercise has its place... but not in the beginning. Check out our new program that speaks directly to this topic... www.criticalbench.com/growth/metstretch
Hey critical bench, my first experience lifting weight was just bench press, no warm-up or anything, I'm trying to figure out how I would appreciate a warm-up. I think to my disadvantage I am a skinny/very mobile person genetically. But for someone who is just starting their movement and doesn't have my skinny genetics, how do you think I could approach this?
Keegan Maroney do some pec dec fly
Very helpful for Programming. How do you relate this to training the 50+ year old person? Do you follow the same workout outline?
Thank you very much!
Depending on the individuals current fitness level and mobility, the same program could be followed as is. If there are physical limitations these can be easily modified
Criticalbench Thank you Sir. I really appreciate it!
How do you feel about ISSA? I'm currently taking the certified personal trainer course with them.
ISSA is a solid program : )
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thank you for watching!
The question is always for me is that how can I build the session if the client wants to loose weight. I like intervall training, can I combine lifting weights with plank or isometric or dynamic excersises?
For example :
Squat with jump for 30 sec - biceps curl 12-14 reps - 3 circles not much rest. And other pair of excersises. Or should I repeat one excersise at the sam time?
I like supersets.
My client is beginner though.
Any of these can work, just be sure to start them with what they are able to do while still executing the exercises properly and hitting their goals.
Criticalbench yes actually it seems he cant do excersises for 30 sec so he do it as long as he can.
this seems like a lot of exercises for one session!
Video starts at 2:30
Please music don’t let me focus on this useful content
Thank you for your feedback! 💪
What if you come across stressed out clients that get irritated easily? can you refuse service if you don't gel well togeather?
It is fine to stop coaching/ training a client if you find the relationship is strained HOWEVER, I strongly recommend, & this is what I've done in a similar situation, is to have a very sincere adult conversation with the client explaining that you feel you they may have better success with another coach and then provide them with at least 3-4 names of other coaches whom you recommend. This way the client feels like you have their best interest at heart and less like you are "firing" them.
I just got my diploma in physical fitness and will like to work as a fitness trainer, please I need your advice . currently working in gym but as a trainer also if some one like 40 up that want to lose weight what kind of exercise will I place them on?thanks.
When it comes to weight loss it is not simply about specific exercises. It is about consistency in exercising and having an excellent nutrition plan to follow. Both of these combined will allow for greater success. One thing to keep in mind however is this ... if your client is enjoying their program they are more likely to stick with it and keep it up and that is what is going to help them to continue to lose weight.
Thanks, can you please recommend any book on fitness for me?
Nothing like some Tokyo drift music to get you in the mood haha
Lol!
Switch off the music in the background
I agreed with what u said
Thank you for the feedback 👌
Thanks for this video. Am looking to do coaching for my local boxing. Have u got any videos for training in boxing or fitness?
Check out our channel for all kinds of fitness/ training videos
Ok thanks 👍
whats the name of the music in the background?
I'm not sure
kasra rahnama ‘i wonder if you know. How we live in tokyo’ were the lyrics to this instrumental. (Dont know the actual song name) Its off the fast and furious soundtrack though. But its been remixed
I'm a freshly Certified PT. Any advice?
Love what you do & work in an environment with people you enjoy being around. Find your TEAM
Thank you.! Much blessings!!!
He is so smart. #calvesonpoint
Optimax Performance Training Haha!! Love it #sexylegs
See trainers all the time that don't any form off assessments
How about clients that have compromise health issues?
Kim Fyffe hi, this fall under another category of training called GP refferal exercise trainer, the trainer should be certified as exercise referral and have an extend knowledge of health issues and how to create a program accordingly taking into consideration all risk factors. But still part of the job of all PT as not all the gym goer are fully healthy, hope this help in answering your question partially
It’s crazy, i thought some of this was common sense but I guess there are really some clueless trainers out there! Great vid btw!
Yes! Mentor me!
Hi Kristen, Coach Brian here. If you have a question, just post it here and I’ll do my best to help you out. Thanks for watching. - Coach Brian
Optimax Performance Training Thank you. My first question is related to the burnout or fatigue at the end of the session. What is the science behind this? My concern is preventing overtraining, especially with young athletes whose nutrition might not support extreme training and in whom physical exhaustion may lead to mental burnout.
Tokyo drift in the background pumped me up
Lol . . . awesome!
Drink everytime he says "Assessment" or "Assess"
Useful video, but you might want to consider removing the background music. Just saying.
Thank you for your feedback
it is a fucking shame that you can become a "certified PT" with some weeks courses
This video was very helpful. I’m a rookie personal trainer just got certified about 6 months ago!! I do have a question. Say I am training at a local gym or wellness center. Will that specific gym have a outline of what they want us to do as far as assesmebtsbor will we (the trainer”” need to have one already made up.!
That depends. Some franchise gyms have an outlined protocol/ procedure that they want you to adhere to. My personal experience is that privately owned gyms will allow you to train your clients as you see fit.
