Fitness Analyst

I have dealt with unhappy customers on number of times. I work in sales so as you can imagine I get a lot of complaints but generally I listen to them and try come up with a solution that suits them and myself. If I cant handle the problem I refer them to my boss.

Such situations rarely occur since I am very vigilant and guide the clients thoroughly as they use the gym equipment. However if it does happen, I am CPR certified and fully capable of providing first aid and calling an ambulance if needed.

I did help a lot of friends to train well if you have a look at almost all my high school friends everyone is ripped or big or even competing in bodybuilding shows because they were inspired by me..I was always there for all my friends either with a fitness program or being there trainer.

Baseline activities are similar to ADLs being of a light-intensity and mainly consisting of the activities of daily life. If an individual does no other activity than that classed as baseline activity, they are considered to be inactive in fitness terms.

First of all I like to help people and I like to motivate people. And also my dad has diabetes and I would like to help people like my dad who have diabetes and struggle with their health and get them to a place of optimum health and fitness.

I'm a personal trainer and a fitness instructor so I'm basically paid to be the giant pain in the ass who gets people out of bed and exercising every day.

Just as you would sell your services to new clients, sell your interviewer on your knowledge of nutrition. Give them confidence that you could help clients change their eating habits by explaining the pros and cons of different foods, assisting them with meal planning, lowering sugar intake and consumption of processed foods. If you received a formal education in nutrition in college or through your fitness certification, highlight a few concepts that you have found most helpful for your clients.

The RPE is a scale is used to measure the intensity of an individual's exercise by asking them to rate how they feel (both physically and mentally) in relation to exercise fatigue on a scale of 6-20 (original scale) or 0 -10 (modified scale). On the 0-10 scale 1 is least and 10 is most.

Metabolic Equivalents (MET)s is a physiological measure expressing the energy it takes to complete physical activities. It is frequently used as a measure of intensity on cardiovascular machines (treadmills e.g., stationary bikes e.g., Group Cycle, etc.). Some types of physical activities are assigned MET values, with the higher the number meaning the more intense the activity.

A method used to calculate target heart rate, which factors resting heart rate into the equation, and is a good indicator of an individual’s state of fitness. The formula is: Target Heart Rate = ((max HR − resting HR) × %Intensity) + resting HR, where HR = heart rate.

Your body needs more oxygen after a workout in order to restore the oxygen stores in the blood and tissues, and to meet the still elevated heart rate’s oxygen requirements. EPOC is the reason your breathing rate remains heavy for a few minutes after finishing a workout.

A series of exercise stations of aerobic and strength training, with relatively brief rest intervals between each station. The number of stations may range from 6 to 10. Circuit training is an excellent way to improve mobility, strength and stamina.

A plyometric movement is a quick and eccentric (muscle lengthening) action immediately followed by a concentric (muscle shortening) action. Performing plyometric movements builds explosive power and can increase how high you can jump or how fast you move off from a static or relatively stationary position. Jumping down from a box with an immediate explosive vertical jump is an example of plyometric exercise.

LDL cholesterol is considered the “bad” cholesterol because it contributes to plaque, a thick, hard deposit that can clog arteries and make them less flexible.

This is the ‘use it or lose it’ principle. If an individual stops exercising regularly they will eventually lose the strength and aerobic fitness they acquired: muscles will weaken in two weeks or less.

Static and dynamic exercises that are designed to improve an individual’s balance and stability during everyday movements and exercise.

A muscle group comprised of the abdominals, lower back, obliques, and hips. Maintaining a strong core is important for good posture and helps reduce the risk of back problems. Technogym’s Wellness Ball promotes core strength through Active Sitting.

Isokinetic exercises are where variable resistance is applied to a limb in constant motion. While performing isokinetic exercises, the individual contracts a muscle while quickly move the limb. Equipment such as stationary bikes -- for which you can establish a number of revolutions per minute -- and resistance bands can allow performance of isokinetic exercises, although specialised equipment is necessary in many cases. Isokinetic exercise is mainly for physiotherapy.

A muscle that causes movement at a joint in a direction opposite to that of the joint’s agonist (prime mover). In a biceps curl the antagonist muscle is the triceps.

The slow muscles are more efficient at using oxygen to generate more fuel for continuous, extended muscle contractions over a long time. They fire more slowly than fast twitch fibres and can keep going for longer before they fatigue. Therefore, slow twitch fibres are better for endurance sports like long distance running or cycling.
