What’s involved

Here you will delve deeper into the human body and really understand what happens under specific physical training techniques whether its muscle building or you are competing in a specific event. Analyses of advanced training systems are studied to really help appreciate what occurs from a physiological point of view so your clients can achieve what they want.

You will learn about effective nutritional strategies and up-to-date research findings so you and your clients can achieve optimal health.

Personal Trainers use exercise science and modern training methods to design, instruct and educate clients in order to achieve specific and measurable goals. Client screening, consultation, and session evaluation are also key elements in Personal Training.
