This paper examines explicit positive assessments (EPAs) in personal training, that is, the personal trainer's positive evaluations of the client's physical performance, including comments such as bra (‘good’). The data consist of video-recorded training-sessions in Swedish from Finland and Sweden. The methodological framework is interactional linguistics, and the study explores the actions that EPAs perform as well as their linguistic design and embodied and sequential environment. The main actions performed by EPAs in personal training include transitioning between activities, encouraging the client, and making positive evaluations. The personal trainer (PT) may vary the lexical, syntactic, prosodic, and embodied features of the EPA to emphasize any of these actions or a combination of them. Overall, EPAs are a central resource for fulfilling the institutional goals of personal training by guiding the clients through the training-program and motivating them. In addition to their use as feedback on actions in the present moment, EPAs also include forward-focusing aspects aimed at guiding clients' future behavior.

本文考察了私教中的显式正面评价 (EPA)，即私教对客户身体表现的正面评价，包括诸如胸罩之类的评论（'好的'）。数据包括来自芬兰和瑞典的瑞典语视频录制的培训课程。方法论框架是交互语言学，该研究探讨了 EPA 执行的行为及其语言设计以及具体化和连续性环境。EPAs 在个人培训中执行的主要行动包括在活动之间转换、鼓励客户和做出积极的评价。私人教练 (PT) 可能会改变 EPA 的词汇、句法、韵律和具体特征，以强调这些行动中的任何一个或它们的组合。总体而言，EPA 是通过指导客户完成培训计划并激励他们来实现个人培训机构目标的核心资源。除了用作对当前动作的反馈之外，
