Fitness Goal Setting
It is important that each goal has a measurable objective so that clients have a clear idea of what achieving their goal would look like. Therefore, fitness professionals need to use reflections to clarify what clients mean, rather than trying to interpret what they mean. One simple trick to focus vague goals to something more specific is to ask clients what they think they would be able to accomplish if their goal was reached. For example, if one goal is to lose weight, the client should be asked what losing that weight would enable them to do. Then, that identified potential capability—such as I could run 2 miles faster—can be turned into an outcome subgoal that will help the client stay on track. In this situation, setting a goal to improve the 2-mile run time by 20 seconds provides something tangible to work for, with a set and clear end game.
