Sixteen New York Institute of Technology exercise science students gained hands-on learning experience as they personally trained university faculty and staff in the Long Island campus's fitness center. For three weeks, students worked with their clients to create healthier habits, build muscular strength, and increase cardiorespiratory endurance. Each student maintained a logbook of their client's exercises, repetitions, and how many sets were performed. Assessments of flexibility, body composition, blood pressure, upper and lower body strength, and cardiorespiratory fitness established benchmarks for each client and trainer to create an individualized program to maintain or improve upon.
