Subjective Information - ---✔✔✔ANSWER----Information that is gathered
from a prospective client to give the health and fitness professional feedback
regarding personal history such as occupation, lifestyle and medical background.
Program Design - ---✔✔✔ANSWER----A purposeful system or plan put
together to help an individual achieve a specific goal.
