What should Cynthia's documentation of her Pilates clients include to be effective?

The documentation of a Pilates client should focus on new exercises introduced and unique observations made during sessions because these elements provide essential insights into the client's progress, preferences, and any adjustments needed to optimize their practice. By recording new exercises, the instructor can track the evolution of the client's routine and ensure that it remains challenging and effective.

Unique observations allow the instructor to note particular challenges or improvements that may not be immediately quantifiable, such as changes in flexibility, strength, or alignment, which can be reflected in the client's performance and offer a richer understanding of their journey in Pilates. This detailed approach to documentation not only aids in enhancing the client's experience but also informs future sessions to better cater to their individual needs and goals.

While tracking a client's age, weight, number of sessions completed, or preferred workout time may have some relevance, they do not provide the same depth of information regarding the client's engagement with the Pilates method and their personal development over time. Therefore, focusing on exercises and observations is key to effective client documentation in this context.
