ATTN: Certification Seminar for Personal Trainers!

mybeyondfitness — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:17:41 +0000

Welcome to Beyond Fitness Academy of Performance

“Hands-On” Learning Certification

A Revelation

We recognize that with most certifications you can simply pass a test by reading a manual and/or sit and listen while attending a weekend seminar. However, what is missing is the most valued aspect of a personal trainer: to be able to TEACH their knowledge by effectively demonstrating, cueing, and monitoring their clients.

This is the VALUE of attending a Beyond Fitness Academy of Performance seminar course. We teach you, the trainer, “how” to be effective at teaching your fitness knowledge to your clients.

It’s a Process, Not a Program

Beyond Fitness Academy of Performance is about a “process” of perfecting the performance of the trainer so they can then effectively train a client to improve his/her performance.

→ Experience a “Hands-On” learning environment in our gym teaching lab

→ Learn how to teach the proper progression (and/or regression) of any exercise

→ Use verbal and non-verbal cue techniques effectively to ensure proper form with your clients

→ Apply our unique 6-Step process to teach ANY resistance exercise

→ Increase your value and earning potential with our “Minding Your Business” lecture segment

→ Access incredible trainer resources with our exclusive “Business in a Box” for fitness professionals

Experiential Learning

This weekend course will cover all the information you need to get certified and started you on your career as a professional trainer. We offer both lecture and hands-on formats. This way, you will get to learn while actually practicing and honing your skills to train clients safely and effectively.

The Exam is the Beginning, NOT the End

Getting certified isn’t the end of the learning process; it’s the beginning. Most gyms, health clubs, and training studios require that you be a nationally certified personal trainer. Successfully passing your IFA exam after taking this course is just a tool for employment. You must continue your learning process – and, we’ll be here to help you continue to grow as a professional in the fitness industry.

At the end of our course you will be able to take your IFA certification with confidence. Your testing fee, IFA Manual, certification card and certificate are all included in the purchase price.
