WHAT WILL YOU LEARN

Master 5 key competencies for effective work with clients

Gain practical knowledge and experience in creating effective, client-specific exercise programs and tools for professional work in various fitness environments (leisure centers, studios, gyms, outdoors…) whether you intend to work with clients individually or in groups.

The structure of the body and its functioning in movement

Understanding of functional anatomy, biomechanics, and physiology of muscle tissue is the foundation of a professional personal trainer’s work. This knowledge of how the body functions in movement (skeleton, joints, movement patterns in joints, and muscles) must be applied practically when performing exercises and designing workout programs for clients.

Pre-excercise screening

Before starting an exercise program, it is necessary to conduct an initial assessment of the client, including an analysis of their health status, health risk factors, specific limitations, lifestyle, and physical fitness level. All these factors represent the starting point for  designing exercise programs specific to your clients needs.

Exercise selection based on the goal of the training program

The selection of exercises can be completely inappropriate for your client if the client’s health factors (poor flexibility, limited range of motion,…), physical fitness level, psychological state, and previous sports experience are not taken into account. It is the trainer’s responsibility to teach the client correct exercise techniques, and appropriately adjust the level of difficulty.

Selecting a training system when designing an exercise program

Understanding the training systems (high-intensity interval training, circuit system, drop set system, pyramid system, half-pyramid system,…) when combining and optimizing the training program is crucial for enhancing clients progress and achieving the goals that were set in a shorter period of time.

Designing an effective training program to achieve goals

You will learn how to create a safe and effective training program that considers not only the goals and desires of the client but also their previous experience in physical activity and fitness level. A training program that incorporates all of these aspects will have a positive impact on the client’s health and ensure gradual progress towards their set goals.
