Gym etiquette

Meeting the coach

Take this slowly, stay balanced, and ask your coach when something feels unclear.

what to do

  • Tell them it is your first session and mention any injury that affects how you move.
  • Ask what the class will involve.
  • Ask what they would like you to focus on.

what not to do

  • Do not oversell your experience.
  • Do not hide an injury because you think it sounds like an excuse.

why it matters

A coach who knows your starting point can pitch the session for you. One who does not has to guess.

quick rule

Be accurate about your experience, not modest and not impressive.
