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

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

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