Using the CARES acronym, answer the following complaint. Dear ___________, I have been a member of UK Fitness for over five years and as a loyal member, I would like to draw your attention to several negative features that have crept into the gym over time. First, I have noticed that you are offering fewer classes than you were last year. I attend several classes regularly, but you have stopped offering my favourite boxing class altogether. Second, the women’s locker room has entered a state of disrepair. The lockers stick and the showers often do not turn on. Finally, the entertainment at the gym is often broken. Last week the televisions were not working correctly. The week before, the cable went out. This degradation of service is unfortunate because I greatly enjoy exercising at UK Fitness. I would like to hear from you about your plans for updating and maintaining the gym so that I can decide whether or not to renew my membership for another year. Please send me an email at the address listed below at your earliest convenience. If I have not heard from you within the next two weeks, I am afraid I will have to cancel my membership to your gym. Thank you very much for your time. 8 marks available 21 Copyright © 2017, PT Academy. All rights reserved.

All rights reserved. 40 Unit 5 Assessment guidance: planning paperwork To complete the ‘planning gym-based exercise’ unit, you must be able to demonstrate competency in the following: • Client consultation paperwork • Planning an exercise programme You must conduct a short consultation with a client prior to writing your exercise programme. The client consultation will involve gathering client-centred information to include: • PARQ • Informed consent form • Client consultation form Once you have gathered sufficient information, the next step is to plan a basic exercise programme that meets the expected standard set by the awarding organisation. There are, however, a number of requirements and restrictions when writing the session plans for your assessment (outlined below). The reason for these is to ensure consistency and that all components of a workout are covered. You must complete the following: • Programme card • Four detailed session plans Your programme card must include the following: 1. Key safety checks you would make to ensure a safe workout environment: Ensure several checks are addressed and they are specific; i.e. no wear and tear on mats, no faulty machinery, the working area is clear, cables are not worn or frayed, any fixed dumbbells are secure. 2. Any special arrangements or adaptations to be made. This can be in response to available time, equipment or facilities, or clients present on the day; e.g. if you have an older client you would provide a longer warm-up or an example of an adapted/alternative exercise. Copyright © 2017, PT Academy. All rights reserved. 3. CV Exercises: All cardiovascular exercise and equipment must be varied. • • • CV1 - Warm Up – Duration 5-10 minutes CV2 - Main CV Component – Duration 20-30 minutes - continuous training only (no interval training) CV3 - Cool down - Duration 5 minutes Workload/Intensity for CV exercises - RPE 1-10 targets - MHR Targets; e.g. <60% - Description of intensity; i.e. light, moderate, vigorous intensity 4. Resistance exercise: • 4 free weight exercises: 6-12 reps x 2 sets, 1 minute recovery between sets • 4 resistance machines: 6-12 reps x 2 sets, 1 minute recovery between sets • 3 bodyweight exercises: 6-12 reps x 2 sets, 1 minute recovery between sets • • • Name of exercise and equipment used Intensity of activity: %MHR and RPE for CV exercise and sets, reps and rest for resistance exercise A minimum of 3 relevant teaching points Your programme card must demonstrate a good balance of muscle groups, taking a whole-body approach (upper and lower body). Please ensure you include pushing and pulling exercises to add program balance. DO NOT LEAVE ANY SECTIONS BLANK 5. Fours detailed session plans.

Informed Consent Form The purpose of an exercise programme is to help you to achieve health and fitness goals. You will be set a programme based upon your present activity/exercise levels and your stated goals. You will experience some feelings of exertion during each activity session and may become hot and uncomfortable at times. If your plan includes certain types of cardiovascular exercise you can expect your breathing to become more rapid and your heart rate to increase. As your fitness improves, your goals may lead you to participate in more vigorous levels of activity but these should remain within your capabilities. All activities will be explained and demonstrated to you but you should feel free to ask any questions you may have. Any exercise programme carries with it an element of risk. The sessions are designed to minimise risk yet, at the same time, provide an effective exercise/ activity programme. Please inform the instructor if there is any reason why you should not participate in an activity i.e. if you have an illness or an injury which might be aggravated by exercise. If, at any time, you feel undue pain or excessive discomfort stop the activity immediately and inform the instructor of your symptoms. You are free to withdraw from any activity at any time you wish. I agree to take part in the programme described to me by the instructor. The nature, purpose, risks and benefits have been explained to me and I understand what is required of me and that I may withdraw at any time. Client: Witness Date: Copyright © 2017, PT Academy.
