NOTE: These pieces of equipment are

weight or elderly client, especially at
the beginning of an exercise program.
Stability equipment should be reserved
for the advanced client, after they have
acquired a certain level of skill that
allows them to execute the exercise
safely.

Business Equipment
Trainers also need to have standards
business tools, like a computer, busi-
ness cards, screening documents, goal
setting questionnaires, client contracts,
program worksheets, client handouts,
client database, appointment booking
and communication methods, tracking
and planning tools.

So trainers need a variety of skills and an ability to work with
a wide range of equipment. They also need to understand the
limitations of their training knowledge and expertise, also known
as their Scope of Practice.
