By understanding that our goal is to create positive emotional experiences with clients, by understanding who they are and what their barriers and needs are, and through conscious communication approaches; we set up our business and clients for success!

We started this module with a deep dive into the current state of health and fitness globally and in New Zealand. Some of the figures and content may have been confronting. The good news is that you are embarking on a career where you can have a positive impact.

Next, you completed a self-assessment pre-screen to check your current health and fitness. You met some of the teaching team, heard their stories, and shared your own. We also looked at the importance of resilience.

You’ve learnt about behavioural psychology including:

the cognitive triangle and how experiences dictate our emotions, thoughts, decisions, and behaviours.
how to assess what stage of change your clients are in, and how to adjust your approach for each stage.
intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.
motivation strategies.
goal setting.

To successfully motivate clients and influence positive behaviour modification, you need to be a skilled communicator and great salesperson. You learnt that how you communicate verbally and non-verbally, has a big impact on the rapport you build with clients, and how successful you will be at creating and selling a positive fitness experience.
