Pieces for trainers who drive to the door
Each note is about a session that happens in someone else’s house, garage, or building. Ember wrote them.
What to have ready when the trainer comes to the doorPackage, floor, parking, and any movement you cannot do in the house. Those four facts are the session.The twenty minutes between a 5 a.m. client and the next doorA 5 a.m. client who lives twenty minutes from the last session will erase the following hour if that drive is missing from the ticket.Visitor parking is part of the sessionA condo tower session fails in the garage, not in the workout, when the stall and the elevator code never made the ticket.Write the shoulder limit. Do not diagnose it.A left shoulder that cannot press overhead belongs on the in-home ticket as a programming note, not as a medical opinion.An 8-pack client who already lives on today's routeWhen the paid eight-pack is two streets from the last door, the single session across town is the one to pass.A garage rack and a third-floor walk-up are different hoursSame city, same sixty minutes, completely different setup once the trainer sees the stairs or the squat rack.What to ask before a postpartum session at the houseNap, clearance from the client's own provider, and a room where the session can stop if the baby wakes.A couples session in a one-bedroomTwo people, one mat's worth of floor, a neighbor underneath, and a package that has to say so.What rides in the trunk, and what is already in the apartmentBands in the car and dumbbells under the bed only help if both facts are written before the trainer leaves the previous driveway.
