In this episode, the Strength Matters team dive deep into the world of fitness assessments, discussing the importance of turning raw data into actionable and understandable scores.
If you’ve ever wondered how to make sense of all those numbers and percentages from your fitness assessments or how to motivate clients to care about their progress, this episode is a must-listen. Dive in as we explore the art of gamification in fitness and the power of visualization in tracking progress.

Key-takeaways:
- Gamification in Fitness: The modern trend leans towards turning everything into a game, from closing Apple fitness rings to CrossFit leaderboards. The idea is to make assessments more engaging and understandable for clients.
- The Four Quadrants: Strength Matters breaks down assessments into four main areas: health, movement, strength, and cardio. Each quadrant gets a score, providing a comprehensive overview of a person’s fitness level.
- Visualization: Raw data can be overwhelming. By visualizing data, clients can better understand their strengths and areas of improvement.
- Traffic Light System: Beyond the scoring system, there’s a traffic light system (red, amber, green) that helps trainers prioritize areas of focus for their clients.
- The Importance of Feedback: Continuous feedback and showing progress through numbers can motivate clients, especially when physical changes aren’t immediately visible.
