Getting Started Checklist
Check
out our step-by-step checklist to add your first client and
get started using the StrengthEngine.com Advanced Trainer Pro!
Note:
It is best to have an initial meeting with your client to
obtain their fitness assessment information (you may already
have this for an existing client). Many trainers that have
'long-distance' clients also do this via email or phone. Now,
just click on the "Add New Client" link located on the left
side of your StrengthEngine.com Advanced Trainer Pro screen, and you will be taken
into the automatic client sign up process. Simply follow the
instructions and the ATP will take you step-by-step through
this process! Try to fill out as many fields as you can, including
the Fitness Assessment area, as this will help to make your
job of customizing the program and tracking your clients progress
much easier!
Step
1: Client Profile
Fill
out the Client Profile
The first section will be the Client Profile. This information
is important for your records and for calculating some of
the workout information. The fields with the red button next
to them are required to continue the client sign up process.

Now,
hit the "Continue" button at the bottom of this page to go
to Step 2 where you will begin the program design process.
Step
2: Program Creation
Choose
a Workout Frequency
Click on the number of days per week you would like your client
to exercise. Hint: If you want to choose or develop a program
with 3 days of weight training and 2 days of cardio you must
choose 5 Days from the list. You can change this information
at any time throughout your client's program at no extra charge!
Choose
a Program Goal
Once you choose a training frequency you will be asked to
choose from a list of specific program goals to help speed
up the process of customizing your clients program. Hint:
You can also choose the Blank Start Program if you would like
to start from scratch. You can change this information at
any time throughout your client's program at no extra charge!
Choose
a Specific Workout
There may be multiple programs available for you to choose
from in this section. Simply choose the one that you want
and the ATP will automatically move you to the next section.
Hint: You can view a sample of the workout before you select
it by clicking on the "View a sample of this program" link.
You can change this information at any time throughout your
client's program at no extra charge!
Choose
the Start Date for your clients program
Choose a start date from the calendar that is shown. The start
date that you choose will also be the first day of your client's
workout. Hint: You can choose any start date but remember
that you have 13 weeks of access to complete the 12 week program.
You can change this information at any time throughout your
client's program at no extra charge!
Choose
the specific days of the week for your client's program
Remember, the first workout day of the week is dependent upon
the start date that you have chosen for your client. Simply
click on the drop down arrow located on each of the remaining
workouts and choose the specific days for the rest of the
week. You can change this information at any time throughout
your client's program at no extra charge!
Step
3: Fitness Assessment
Record
your client's Fitness Assessment info
Recording your client's Fitness Assessment information enables
the workout to include weights, repetitions and heart rates
specific to your client. The tests in this area are either
required, recommended, or optional. Recording as much assessment
information as you can will allow the computer to track your
client's progress more completely. You can retest your client
on any given week of their program. However, the ATP will
only record the best test score in any 7-day time frame for
each test. Hint: The ATP will automatically record any testing
information as well as any individual exercise strength or
intensity changes that you make to your clients program.
Upper
Body Strength (required)
Lower Body Strength (required)
Abdominal Endurance (required)
Aerobic Endurance (recommended)
Pullups (recommended)
Pushups (recommended)
Bodyweight Squats (recommended)
Power Clean (optional)
Step
4: Billing
Billing
Information
You can choose to enter in your client's credit card information
or your own credit card information in this section. Simply
click on the button next to the billing method of your choice.
If you decide to enter your client's credit card number, StrengthEngine
will send you the balance of the payment, minus the $30 dollar
program access fee and a 2% credit card processing fee, on
a bi-weekly basis.
If you
decide to have your client pay you by check or cash, you would
enter your own credit card number. Simply enter in the program
access fee of $30 dollars and you are ready to start working
with your client! Hint: If you use your own credit card and
charge only the $30 dollar program access fee, StrengthEngine will
waive the 2% processing fee. Also, please note that if you
have a Canadian address, you can ONLY charge the $30 program
access fee; you must bill your clients separately, by whichever
method you choose.
