2 DAYS
16 HOURS
Whether you are already certified or just getting started, this workshop will enhance your skill and support your professional development.
First, we’ll be sure that you understand the basic principles of anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, various training methods, nutrition and general wellness concepts. Then, we’ll cover the safe and effective methods for assessing clients and how to achieve positive change through the right kind of goal-oriented fitness program.
About half of our teaching is classroom setting, and the other half is putting the concepts to practice in a hands-on way. After the workshop, you can sit for the exam at your convenience and get CERTIFIED!
