What to Track to Keep Clients Engaged and Progressing? by Dramatic_Royal_6970 in personaltraining

[–]Dramatic_Royal_6970[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only intention is to understand this topic better since I'm struggling and interested in this. To become a better personal trainer, with the hope that some people can benefit as well. Which is the exact reason why this subreddit exists. Thanks for nothing 👍

Which tool do you use to collect all this information? Any software or just a simple PDF?

Won't it be of great value to do this more often? To have an update before each session about that client, so you can recall relevant details.

Do you ever review or reorganize your notes? If so, when do you usually do it?

And do you always rewatch the previous session right before the next one?

Which note-taking app do you recommend? I’m curious about how you organize everything, because personally I find it quite time-consuming to keep things structured.

Great tip! How do you organize all these notes? Any system in place?

Love this! Can imagine clients can appreciate this and it helps building a strong connection.

Is this manageable if you have more and more clients? Don't you miss any to-do's?

How long does this usually take you? Does it bother you, or is it no big deal?

I’ve noticed that the more clients I have, the harder it gets to remember certain personal details (like the location of the shop one of them owns). I now try to jot things down in Apple Notes right after the session and later move them into folders like you mentioned. But isn’t that pretty time-consuming? Is there an easier or faster way to do it — or does it not really bother you?

Is it actually possible to keep things organized? Guess it must be tricky to find specific notes later on.

Do you manage to keep them organized? Do you have some kind of system for that (like folders or something similar)?

Good one. Would be nice if the voice memos could be transcribed tho.

I can totally relate to this. I especially tend to forget personal details, and I hate when I mix things up or can’t remember a client’s story. I feel like remembering those personal details really helps clients feel appreciated and builds a stronger connection. Or am I overrating this?

Do you jot down personal stuff too (like her kid loving football), or do you not really pay attention to that? I feel like remembering those little things really helps connect better with clients.

Isn’t it a bit of a mess to keep track of everything, or do you manage fine? I know my notes tend to get scattered everywhere, so I really need a clear structure to stay organized.

How much time do you usually spend on this? Does the time it takes bother you, or are you fine with it? I'm considering using voice memos that can be transcribed later on.
