| What are the 5 Stages of Change Model or Transtheoretical Model of Change? | 1) Precontemplation, 2) Contemplation, 3) Preparation, 4) Action, 5) Maintenance |
| Precontemplation | An individual is not yet aware or is unwilling to accept that a change is needed. They are likely hanging on to their current behaviors and have not yet found intrinsic motivation to change but may have pressure from other sources to make change. |
| Contemplation | The client has started to become aware that a change is needed, but they are struggling with the pros and cons of doing so, the amount of effort that may be required of them, or what they may have to sacrifice to see change. |
| Preparation | Serious consideration starts to take place and even a desire to begin taking steps to make change; starting to think about what they can do to bring about change but may still be struggling with knowing where to begin. The desire for change is there. |
| Action | Starting to take physical action; moving beyond the stages of mental consideration; this will be the most difficult stage bc it is the “first step,” where they must put forth the greatest commitment to keep momentum. |
| Maintenance | Consistent with their new behaviors for at least 6 months & it is becoming an integrated part of their lifestyle; still at risk for relapse into old behaviors if they don't stay focused on a sustainable approach, |
| Ambivalence | A state of mind in which an individual may have conflict, disinterest, or resistance regarding an outcome or individual. |
| Change Talk | Language that supports behavior change. |
| Sustain Talk | Language that supports the avoidance of change. |
| Discord | A breach in the fitness professional–client relationship that can pull attention away from the original relationship intention. |
| When was the 5 Stages of Change Model or Transtheoretical Model of Change created? | 1970's |
