In the PFC program we do a thing called a client-trainer relationship. We are randomly put in pairs with a fellow classmate and are expected to take turns training each other. So each day our class is at the gym we get to be both the client and the trainer.
I have had a very unique situation in which I was paired with DL who was entering her last module when I began working with her. Seeing as how I was so new to the program I didn't have much to offer as far as putting together programs for her but instead I assimilated as much information as possible. I learned a lot from her physically and mentally. However, there was one strength I possessed that I was able to use to help her.
She wanted to regain her ability to run after enduring an injury to her leg. The way we went about achieving this goal was with baby steps of course. We started with a very slow jog, maintaining a conversation the whole time and worked our way up to a faster jog where she was able to keep up with no difficulty. Although our time training together was short I noticed a significant gain in her ability and confidence to run and I also grew from the time. Overall I would consider this client-trainer relationship a success and would suggest DL to anyone hoping to learn and achieve their best.
