We have 2 coaches handle groups of 10-20 people. Multiple times a day for an hour each time.
A common question:
How do we create an individualised program for each and every client?
We don’t.
We have goals for every client.
12-16 quality sets of squatting.
12-14 quality sets of pushing.
12-14 quality sets of pulling.
12 sets glute ham/ hinge work.
And healthy doses of conditioning, hip rotation, shoulder rotation, plank progressions, hanging, abdominal flexion, lateral spinal flexion, spinal flexion-extension etc etc.
We guide clients on how to train intensely. What does a hard set look and feel like? Are you having a good day? Or is it the kind of day to lay low. Is more weight on the bar coming at the cost of stability and depth ? Is it worth it?
And most importantly, is the client doing the right exercise given their constraints and capacity. Are they executing the exercise well enough. Are they performing the move with enough awareness and control without paralysing their session by fixating over ‘perfect’ technique? Do they get that intensity cannot compensate for consistency. And consistency cannot do what occasional bouts of intensity can achieve. Volume cannot make up for load and difficulty. Similarly there is a time and place for volume.
New comers get more attention to ensure they know what they need to do and how to do it comfortably.
There are so many important facets to a good training session. An effective plan is the tip of the iceberg.
