When developing a program for a new client, the trainer should address the client's goals after reviewing the what?

It is essential for a trainer to review the data collected during the initial assessment before addressing a client's goals. This assessment provides valuable insights into the client's current fitness level, strengths, weaknesses, and any potential limitations or health considerations. By understanding these factors, the trainer can tailor the program specifically to meet the client’s individual needs.

The initial assessment typically includes measurements of body composition, cardiovascular fitness, strength, flexibility, and any medical history that may impact training. This comprehensive understanding allows the trainer to set realistic and achievable goals that align with the client's capabilities and aspirations. Therefore, addressing client goals without this foundational data may lead to unrealistic expectations or a program that is not suitable for the client’s current state.

While considering the client's past experience, workout log, or notes from any previous trainers can provide additional context and be helpful in program development, these sources should supplement the insights gained from the initial assessment rather than replace the need for it. The initial assessment is the critical starting point that guides the entire training strategy.
