So I have a guest that is new to fitness training with me. When we do leg day she tells me that she feels some pain just above and just below her kneecaps.

I watch her form to be sure she does not lock her knees. The weight is low due to volume training. Any help on this would be appreciated.Thanks

Could be a lot of culprits here. What's the depth of the squat? Where is the knee traction going (outside/in)?

We really need more information here. When does it hurt? During flexion or extension? What exercise is she doing when it hurts and at what point in the motion does it bother her? Both upper and lower at the exact same time?

There is no universal standard for "form" on complex moves like a squat in particular where targeted depth should be derived from things like bone length and flexibility. Are you a CPT? If you are, you should know this.

Get you some knee sleeves.

Rehbands are a pretty good brand. Keeps your knees supported and comfortable.

I had a similar pain and was diagnosed with IT Band Friction Syndrome.
