Fitness consumers, or trainers, or athletes learn most likely from doing. There are many reasons to train, including improving physical appearance, lowering stress, eliminating pain, and improving performance. The two most common client goals I see are better looks and better athletic performance, with the former being the most common reason.
The old dogma of traditional training is unacceptable to us. For example, we do not believe women training is superior to men training, youth training is superior to elderly training, or athletes are superior to nonathletes when training. Regardless of gender, age, status, or any other social distinction, GeniX training focuses on ability, not ability type or social rating. If you have the ability, then we want you to train for it to its full potential.
A workout is powerful if done correctly, but if it’s too hard, nobody will understand it, and if it’s frustrating for the people taking it, it will become just another cliché in a magazine or on social media.
Throughout this program, the exercises were designed, so they make learning the technique easier so that the training can do what it is supposed to do: get you strong, get you toned, get you big, get you in shape, or perfect a skill.
One of the most complicated areas of personal training and even program design is knowing where to begin. Many people want some kind of evaluation to know where to start. In my humble opinion, that does not even exist. For example, most people who start a jogging program don’t perform a V. O2 test to figure out how long and how fast to run in their first training session. Likewise, most people who join a gym don’t go through a bunch of one-rep maximum tests to start at specific percentages of that maximum lift. Even if they did, that maximum lift goes up every week when first beginning an exercise program; therefore all the percentages would be off in the second to third week. In most of these cases, people start a new training program on intuition and trial and error. For example, if you sit on a bench press machine for the first time and don’t know how much you can handle for eight repetitions, you start with a weight you feel you can do and adjust up or down from there. Eventually, you get to a weight you can manage for the eight repetitions desired. All beginners start at a level they feel they can manage and go from there. Yes, sometimes some people get a bit overzealous and start too intense, and in about 24 hours or so, delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) reminds them of their indiscretion for a few days. Believe me, they don’t make the same mistake twice.
