A standing instruction repeated on every program template — please consult a Fitness Instructor before starting an exercise program.

Detail

Every Florida State University Fitness Center program sheet closes with the same directive: "Please consult a Fitness Instructor before starting an exercise program. Thank you." This appears on the Basic Strength Fitness, Strength Training, Combo (Hypertrophy & Strength), Hypertrophy/Bodybuilding, Power, and Endurance program templates. The Power Program adds that it is designed for users who are currently training consistently and able to handle heavy resistance training or who are involved in competitive sports — reinforcing that program selection should be matched to the individual under professional guidance.

Key facts
