Of course you are going to adjust each client's program based on their condition and daily feedback, but having a template is a must in my opinion.

Danny's advice is excellent. Any article on programming by Alwyn, Boyle, or Rippetoe are good places to start.

I usually spend 10-15 minutes, depending on the client, doing myofascial work, dynamic stretching, and mobility. 30-40 for the meat of the program with corrective/assistance stuff at the end, and 5-10 min static stretching at the end.
