Here’s a simple way to structure that first session so you’re in control and your client walks away impressed. I'm coach Joe from the Axiom Personal Trainer Academy and I help newly certified trainers build confidence and get real clients without guessing their way through workouts. Try this 3-part format: 1) Talk — 5–10 mins to review goals, injuries, & warm up conversation. 2) Train — Pick 4–5 safe, basic exercises using big movement patterns. 3) Test — End with a light challenge or stretch, ask how they feel, and invite them back. This keeps things simple, repeatable, and professional. Want a full breakdown of the “first session template” I use with my students? comment “SESSION” down below. Remember, the goal isn’t to impress. It’s to connect and deliver a solid, safe experience. You got this.
