In which stage are individuals seriously considering making a change?

Preparation
Action
Contemplation
Maintenance

The correct answer is: Contemplation

The stage in which individuals are seriously considering making a change is the Contemplation stage. During this phase, individuals are often aware of the need for change and are actively thinking about the pros and cons of making that change, but they have not yet made a commitment to take action. This stage is characterized by ambivalence, where the person may feel both motivated to change and apprehensive about the challenges that change may bring. In contrast, the Preparation stage follows Contemplation, as individuals begin to plan and prepare for change, often setting specific goals. The Action stage is when individuals actively implement their plans and take steps towards making a change, while the Maintenance stage focuses on sustaining the change over time and preventing relapse. Understanding these stages helps personal trainers support their clients effectively at the right point in their change journey.
