Purpose...

A good training program has a purpose…

This purpose is something the writer of the program (usually the coach) hopes the client will get from the day. The desired stimulus.

This is simple to do in a one on one setting because the program is written for one individual.

In a group setting it becomes harder. With people of different strengths, weaknesses and body types all training together…  

A great coach will understand this and have the ability to modify things like movements, weight, range of motion, volume and movement difficulty. The list of things which can be modified is only limited by our imagination…

We scale workouts based on the thing which holds the client back.

We must ask ourselves is it strength, a skill, flexibility or something else?

Once we know the answer we can scale appropriately so each client works at the edge of their ability and where we as coaches can drive the greatest adaptation!
