Fitness professionals conduct a group induction to introduce new clients to the gym environment and equipment safely, focusing on six key objectives: preparing the space, welcoming the group, conducting a verbal health screen, providing essential health and safety guidance, outlining the workout, and maintaining professionalism. The induction involves a structured session that guides clients through the five stages of a workout while checking for prior injuries or conditions via a verbal screen.

A comprehensive fitness consultation involves three stages - Paperwork, Static Measurements, and Dynamic Measurements - to gather all necessary client information before creating an exercise plan. This process ensures client safety and readiness through health screening (PAR-Q, BP, RHR), clarifies expectations (HCS, IC), establishes goals (SMART), and sets a movement baseline by assessing fundamental patterns like squatting, lunging, and hinging.
