Lab Infractions
Lab Activities
A key component of learning, particularly in a discipline like fitness, is having first-hand experience in trying many of the exercises and assessments that you'll be using with your clients.
Keep in mind, experience does not mean you need expert level performance in any of these movements. But great coaches approach all activities not through a lens of 'do I think this exercise is great for me' but rather 'what type of client would benefit from this exercise'.
Fitness Classes
As part of this course, you'll take part in at least 4 classes offered at the Wellness Centre this term:
- 1 x yoga class
- 3 x conditioning class (i.e Glutes, Guts, Guns; Total Body Conditioning, Spin)
After competing your class, please ask your class instructor to sign-off on your participation.
Fitness Class Summary
Personal Training Client Experience
Taking place during the Monday afternoon (3- 7 PM)/Thursday morning (8 AM - noon) labs, you will serve as a personal training client.
Your professor will notify when these labs will be starting.
Workout Journal
The exercise journal will be an on-going, weekly assignment that you complete outside of your weekly lab time. We will begin these exercise in week 6 (week of Oct 7th) and you are welcome to use the after hours times in lab (or your preferred gym) for completing this assignment.
The purpose of this journal is to explore in greater detail, several exercises that we discuss in lecture.
For all exercises (with the exception of the crunch), you will work up to a 10-RM, as well as take photos of yourself completing the exercise.
For this main exercise, you will tell me what is the prime mover (i.e. major muscle being trained), as well as the kind of movement pattern we are attempting to train with this movement.
I'd also like you to identify what are one or two of the most common errors you are likely to see when clients perform this exercise.
In addition to this, you will record yourself performing a stretch that targets the prime mover, as well as you performing a suitable regression/progression exercise.
- A regression would be an easier/modified version of the exercise suitable for a novice/deconditioned client. If the exercise of the week is already regressive in nature, then film yourself doing a progression (i.e. a harder exercise for more advanced clients)
- Tell me what type of client or scenario you think this regression/progression would be appropriate
- Do not simply take a photo of yourself performing the main lift with a lighter load, I would like to see an entirely new exercise.

Lab Rubrics & Exams
Learning how to evaluate the coaching style of others, as well as provide constructive criticism, is a vital component of improving as a fitness professional. As a result, you are being asked to serve as trainer, client and peer evaluator for various skills and competencies over your time in FHP.
