In the initial conversation with a new client, a personal trainer finds out that the client has hired the trainer because the client's spouse thinks it will help the client stick to an exercise program. The trainer learns that the client has been unsuccessful in previous attempts to exercise regularly, and the client expresses uncertainty that the outcome will be different this time. Which statement would be the MOST appropriate for the personal trainer to make at this time?

  1. "Let's start out with some goals. It's hard to get somewhere without knowing what you want to achieve. What do you want to get out of your training sessions?"
  2. "Your husband steered you on the right path. Hiring a trainer will make all the difference. I know I can motivate you."
  3. "I understand that you are unsure of how this will turn out, so let's start with the past. You said that you have tried to exercise on a regular basis before. What made you stop?"
  4. "I've used behavior contracts with other clients who had failed in the past. They really help keep you on track. Let's go over the details."
