What Happens at your First Programme Session? As a new member you are entitled to a Health Appraisal and a Gym Induction in the first 6 weeks of your membership. Let’s roll forward to this first fitness programming session because we want you to know exactly how we handle that session because it’s a very important landmark moment for new members and we pride ourselves on managing it differently to almost any other club in the area. It’s perfectly normal for many new members to feel a bit nervous about this session and it may be that we have asked you to come at a quieter time in the week so that we have a good environment in which to teach you what we need to make your programme work for you. We will be giving you a lot of information during the session and it’s important to say at this point that we understand that you probably will not remember everything you get told. Don’t worry; we’ve got lots of ways that we can help you to learn in your own time and in your most preferred way.
Initially you will have an quick briefing session where the trainer will explain to you the plan for the session and what’s going to happen. Your health appraisal is a simple test incorporating three vital measurements: Body fat, blood pressure and aerobic ability followed by a Gym Induction to learn how to safely and effectively use the gym equipment.
When you come to the club for that first session you will be met at reception by your trainer.
They will present you with your very own Personal Progress Pack which is an optional pack you can fill in at home and where you will be able to track the changes in your body composition, size, weight, flexibility, and strength. 5
