SEND

Purpose•Demonstrate how behavior and movement can impact the enjoyment of a Kinesis One training session

Kinesis• Movement

Movement• Enhanced by Full Gravity Technology

Placards Please…• Here is what members get on their own…

Questions• “Does everyone do the same exercises?”• “With all of that capability, where do I

begin?”• “How do I know which exercises to use?”

Answer• “You must know the person you are

working with.”• 2 key behavioral components to ‘knowing

the user’:• Aspirations• Preferred style of training

Aspirations• The person’s motivation behind their

goal

• Goal-based training produces a workout

• Aspiration-based training produces a personalized movement experience

Aspirations Research

• IULM University in Milan• 10,000 fitness members• 3 countries

• Italy, Netherlands, UK• 90 questions about their

personality and lifestyle

• Aspirations fit into 6 core categories

6 Core Categories

Aspiration & Movement

• SHAPE • Client:

• Highly results-oriented

• Trainer• Show a high level of interest in the individual’s

training results• Emphasize the well-being and enjoyment benefits

of exercise• Intensive coaching and frequent assessments

Style of Training• Aspirations are the “WHY” a person

exercises…

• The “HOW” a person wants to exercise is their Style of training• Based on their personality and behavior

Your Style is…

• I prefer:

• Challenge or Structure

• Routine or Variety

• Practical or Adventurous

Styles

• 3 Styles• Traditional• Progressive• Hybrid

Traditional• Safe and controlled

environment • Known, common and

simple movements• linear • body part specific• uni-planar • fixed path of motion with

more external support

Progressive• Freedom of motion and challenge• Variety and complexity of

movement• 3-dimensional• movement-based • total body • multi-planar• User defined path of motion • minimal external support

Hybrid• A combination of Traditional and

Progressive

Map it to the Member

• 2 clients• Aspiration – SHAPE

Aspirations, Styles & Movement

• Client 1: • Style = Traditional

• Basic, common exercises in the stable position plus some cardio training on a treadmill or stationary bike

Aspirations, Styles & Movement

• Client 2:• Style = Progressive

• Dynamic, total-body movement patterns from a standing position

• Games, drills• Burpees, agility

drills, etc.

Recap…

• Aspiration provides you with “WHY” they are exercising

• Style will tell you “HOW” they want their training to look and feel

• Together they:• Personalize the movement experience• Increase enjoyment and compliance• Promote renewals, resigns and revenue

The Dilemma• Kinesis Full Gravity Technology allows us

to have an endless variety of exercises

• So many choices can be scary

• Would you like a movement development system?
