你好，欢迎来到我们健身中心，我是你的教练。
nǐ hǎo, huānyíng lái dào wǒmen jiànshēn zhōngxīn, wǒ shì nǐ de jiàoliàn.
Hi, welcome to our fitness center. I'm your trainer.

你好，很高兴认识你。这是我第一次来健身房，还有点紧张。
nǐ hǎo, hěn gāoxìng rènshi nǐ. zhè shì wǒ dì yī cì lái jiànshēnfáng, hái yǒudiǎn jǐnzhāng.
Hi, nice to meet you. This is my first time at a gym, so I'm a little nervous.
W
别担心，我会慢慢教你。开始之前，我想先问你几个问题。
bié dānxīn, wǒ huì mànmàn jiāo nǐ. kāishǐ zhīqián, wǒ xiǎng xiān wèn nǐ jǐ ge wèntí.
Don't worry, I'll teach you slowly. Before we start, I'd like to ask you a few questions first.
L
好的，你问吧。
hǎo de, nǐ wèn ba.
Okay, go ahead and ask.

你以前有没有受过伤？比如膝盖、腰或者肩膀。
nǐ yǐqián yǒu méiyǒu shòu guò shāng? bǐrú xīgài, yāo huòzhě jiānbǎng.
Have you ever had any injuries before? For example, your knees, lower back, or shoulders.

去年打篮球的时候，我把右膝盖弄伤了，现在偶尔还会疼。
qùnián dǎ lánqiú de shíhou, wǒ bǎ yòu xīgài nòng shāng le, xiànzài ǒu'ěr hái huì téng.
Last year while playing basketball, I injured my right knee, and it still hurts occasionally.
W
明白了，那我们得小心一点。先从这台跑步机开始吧，它对膝盖比较友好。
míngbái le, nà wǒmen děi xiǎoxīn yìdiǎn. xiān cóng zhè tái pǎobùjī kāishǐ ba, tā duì xīgài bǐjiào yǒuhǎo.
I see, then we need to be a bit careful. Let's start with this treadmill; it's fairly gentle on the knees.
L
听起来不错。那边那些机器是干什么用的？
tīng qǐlái búcuò. nàbiān nàxiē jīqì shì gàn shénme yòng de?
That sounds good. What are those machines over there used for?
W
那些是练力量的器械，比如练胸肌和背肌的，不过今天咱们先不用它们。
nàxiē shì liàn lìliàng de qìxiè, bǐrú liàn xiōngjī hé bèijī de, búguò jīntiān zánmen xiān bú yòng tāmen.
Those are strength-training machines, like ones for your chest and back muscles, but we won't use them today.
L
好，我想先把基础打好。热身一般需要多长时间？
hǎo, wǒ xiǎng xiān bǎ jīchǔ dǎ hǎo. rèshēn yìbān xūyào duō cháng shíjiān?
Good, I'd like to build a solid foundation first. How long does the warm-up usually take?
W
大概十分钟。运动的时候要是觉得膝盖不舒服，一定要马上告诉我。
dàgài shí fēnzhōng. yùndòng de shíhou yàoshì juéde xīgài bù shūfu, yídìng yào mǎshàng gàosu wǒ.
About ten minutes. If your knee feels uncomfortable while exercising, be sure to tell me right away.
L
没问题，谢谢你这么细心。那咱们现在就开始吧！
méi wèntí, xièxie nǐ zhème xìxīn. nà zánmen xiànzài jiù kāishǐ ba!
No problem, thanks for being so thoughtful. Then let's get started now!
