I'm not a trainer, but a client.
My first session with my fav trainer was a quick body assessment, a talk about my goals, experience, what I'm willing to do (amount of time I'm willing to spend), eating, and then what I expect from him (I wanted him to write programs for me, run through the first one and then gimme a new one in a few weeks. I didn't want a training buddy to count my reps.) Then we worked out and he killed me. But, I quite literally asked for it. He was testing my limits and abilities. He would not have been so harsh to anyone else. I have a big mouth.
Just in case you were interested in the experience from this side of the barbell.
