This program is designed for any individual who has zero experience in fitness training
but wants to become a professional personal fitness trainer. However, people who do
have experience in fitness training can use this program to prepare themselves for
the ACSM certification.
In this multimedia-rich program, you’ll learn the fundamentals of the following topics.
- Exercise physiology
- Anatomy
- Biomechanics
- Nutrition
- Motor learning
That is not the full extent of this interactive program. You will also learn how to:
- assess a client’s strength, risk, and flexibility
- establish goals for them
- develop training programs for cardiorespiratory, resistance, and flexibility
With this program, you can become a professional personal fitness trainer, and, thus,
put your knowledge on physiology, fitness, kinesiology, cardiology, epidemiology,
and pulmonary medicine to good use.
If you want to be successful in this field, you cannot rely on the skills and knowledge
required of trainers only. That is why this program includes detailed instructions
on how you can start a personal fitness business of your own. Also, this program incorporates
the Co-Active Coaching Model, which will help develop communication and relationship-building
skills.
You’ll also receive an exam voucher and preparation book for the Certified Personal
Trainer certification by ACSM. You can also request for an alternative certification
track through NASM or ACE.
Instructor Description
