In addition to what Kuri said, its also a good time to take inital measurements: hight, weight, body fat, circumferance measurements (I use Bicep, Chest, Waist, Hips, Thighs). See what their flexablility is and what limmitiations they have. If you are planning to talk nutrition with them you may want to ask them to start a nutritional journal and bring it with them the next time they come so you can get a snap shot of how they are currently eating.

As far as Gray Cook's FMS, it's a great tool if you are comfortable using it. Definetly practice with it a lot before attempting to use it with clients.
