Course overview…

This course is recognised by the UK Register of Exercise Professionals and will give you entry at Level 3.

Many courses teach exercise science to the Personal Trainers of the future. We pride ourselves on not only teaching the science, but crucially the correct application of the science.

We place the client at the heart of everything we do by equipping you, their Personal Trainer with right tools to deliver cutting edge exercise programmes that your customers will want to try again and again. You will learn postural assessment, giving you the opportunity to provide individualised feedback to each of your clients. This professionalises your service and builds your credibility as fitness professional.

Sound assessment techniques can then lead to excellent programming. We believe that a good exercise programme starts with a good assessment. Personal Trainers with our assessment skills have the ability to write progressive, enjoyable exercise programmes that deliver results. Using the Optimum Performance Training Model, you will learn how to accelerate any client towards any goal.

With these skills, you will become a solutions expert with such integrity that your clients will always repeat buy sessions from you and your prospective clients cannot wait to get started. We look forward to supporting your future in the fitness Industry as your educational partner.
