This paper presents a study of vocalisations, i.e., non-lexical sounds, in video-filmed sessions of gym training where one personal trainer (PT) and three clients are working out together. The object of study are series of vocalisations performed in connection with series of physical exercises, and the participants' orientation to change in such series is explained using the notion of professional vision (Goodwin 1994, 2013, 2018). We use sequential analysis of the multi-modal interaction, focusing on the PT's interactional work to make changes in series of vocalisations accountable. Our results show how vocalisations are recycled by the PT, transformed in new interactional contexts and thereby rebuilt into new social actions such as correcting, criticising or instructing. The under-specified nature of vocalisations (Keevallik and Ogden 2020) gives the PT an opportunity to reuse them as objects of knowledge for the members of the group, sharing his professional vision in co-operative actions (Goodwin 2013). The study potentially contributes not only to research into vocalisations as one of humans' communicative resources for inter-subjective understanding, but also to the analysis of professional practices used for providing physical health-care
