initial consultation. Student B is the client who has decided to join your fitness club. The<br />
instructor should assess the client’s:<br />

It is important that the fitness instructor uses a professional manner when <strong>testing</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
speaking to the client. This will help to improve practical skills when using the equipment,<br />
<strong>for</strong> example, the peak flow meter. The instructor should relay the results of the tests,<br />
linked to appropriate health-based data tables.<br />
After finishing the consultation, Students A <strong>and</strong> B should swap roles <strong>and</strong> repeat the roleplay.<br />
