Vikas Sharma
VS: Do you prescribe dietary chart to your clients?
NK: Diet plays an important role in fitness. So I always suggest to maintain a balance between appetite and healthy diet with nutrition.
VS: What works best in motivating an aerobics group?
NK: In my experience upbeat music and weight loss competitions are two things that really motivate an aerobics group.
VS: Are you more comfortable in group or personal training?
NK: Though I specialize in personal training and enjoy setting individual goals and attaining them more, I work equally well with client groups.
VS: What do you do to enhance clientele?
NK: I maintain a client referral list and make cold contacts; I also promote the gym and fitness services via face book and other social media platforms.
VS: How important do you think that gym instructors are nowadays especially since there is so much information regarding health and fitness available on the Internet?
NK: Getting information off the Internet is one thing but actually applying it in a real time gym setting is not easy. Gym instructors help clients with the actual application of fitness programs so their importance in this setting is quite high.
VS: Most people know how to use gym machinery so why is there so much focus on training them?
NK: It is true that people are intelligent enough to be able to use gym machinery. However, it is a gym instructor’s duty to train them anyway so that they are also aware of the potential hazards of the machine that they are using.
VS: How do you ensure that a fitness program is effective?
NK: Each fitness program is different for different clients and needs to be created specifically for the individual. Along with exercises comes nutrition so I inform my clients of what kind of food intake they should have and suggest supplements too. The amalgamation of all these make for an effective fitness program.
