What do I learn in a "fitness and exercise trainer" course?

Knowledge of the human body and musculoskeletal system

In the "Fitness and Exercise Trainer" course, you will acquire knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology as well as various forms of training (flexibility, strength, coordination, speed). With this knowledge, you will be able to supervise healthy people in a fitness center who want to exercise specifically, e.g. to increase fitness, build muscle or lose weight. You will also be able to recognize when a workout is not suitable for someone and refer the person concerned to a suitable specialist.

Ability to communicate your fitness knowledge

You will also be introduced to didactics and learning psychology, enabling you to determine a person's life situation and health condition through discussion and then show them how they can improve their fitness program. They are able to determine the right equipment, demonstrate the exercises, explain them and measure training progress.

Methods for consulting and sales

With your knowledge of nutrition, sales and the range of products offered by your fitness center, you can present and sell customers the right offers for them - such as an annual membership, special courses or nutritional supplements.
