Develop and instruct gym-based exercise programs for individual clients (Release 1)
In this unit, SISFFIT040 Develop and instruct gym-based exercise programs for individual clients (Release 1), covers the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to provide with initial instruction and then largely self-manage their own exercise sessions at the gym, according to the program, without ongoing one-to-one instruction.
