Transcript (read it after you answer)

Member: Hi, Rachel, I’m ready to start that fitness plan we talked about last week.

Trainer: Awesome, Chris! So, you want to focus on cardio and strength, right?

Member: Yeah, I’ve been feeling sluggish, so I want to get moving. Where do we start?

Trainer: Let’s ease you in. I suggest three gym sessions a week: two cardio and one strength.

Member: Sounds doable. What kind of cardio? I’m not great at running.

Trainer: No problem. We can use the stationary bike or elliptical. Thirty minutes each session to start.

Member: Okay, I like the bike. What about strength training?

Trainer: We’ll do bodyweight exercises like squats and push-ups, plus some light weights. I’ll show you proper form.

Member: Great. Can we schedule sessions so I stay on track?

Trainer: Sure. How about Mondays and Wednesdays at 6 p.m. for cardio, and Fridays at 5 p.m. for strength?

Member: Perfect. I’m free those times. Do I need to bring anything?

Trainer: Just a water bottle and comfortable shoes. We provide towels and equipment.

Member: Got it. How soon will I see results?

Trainer: With consistency, you’ll feel stronger in a month. Track your progress in our app to stay motivated.

Member: Cool, I’ll download it. Thanks for setting this up, Rachel.

Trainer: My pleasure. See you Monday at 6 p.m. for your first cardio session!
