Lifestyle fitness coaching is an emerging field in
the health and fitness industry. Centered on an ongoing
and
guided process of dialogue, Lifestyle Fitness Coaching
offers a systematic approach to help fitness professionals
understand their clients’ needs, interests, and personal
orientations and use the information to direct clients
toward achieving their health and personal goals.
Lifestyle
Fitness Coaching contains detailed information on coaching
dialogues between the health fitness professional
and the client, addressing issues such as the types of
questions to ask, how to provide feedback effectively,
and how to make referrals. The text includes useful information
for guiding program development and learning activities
that help readers understand the material and relate
it to their situations. In addition, an accompanying CD-ROM
contains a Matching Activities and Personal Styles (MAPS)
Inventory, a validated questionnaire that clients complete
to identify their likes and dislikes. The MAPS Inventory
software then generates a report that coaches and clients
can use to guide the coaching process.
Lifestyle Fitness
Coaching presents the necessary skills for professional
development and offers a methodology for
gathering and analyzing personal information about clients
that enables coaches to engage in dialogue about the means
and ends of clients’ sport and fitness programming.
