BMI - History. Purpose. Fall-out.

We have all heard of the BMI and most of us know it doesn’t tell the full story of someone’s health status. So why is the BMI so widespread and why do we rely on it as a health indicator? The foundation of the BMI was developed in the 1830’s and has now taken a life of its own. Follow the journey of the BMI to discover how it was developed, how it was and is used, the gaps and fall-outs it has created, and how you can apply this information to educate and broaden the perspectives of your clients.

Communication & Cueing for Weight Loss Clients - BRAND NEW TOPIC!!

This online workshop is a practical, experience-driven guide designed to elevate a Personal Trainer’s ability to communicate, cue, and coach weight-loss clients with confidence and empathy. Drawing from thousands of training sessions and over a decade of real-world coaching experience, Ryan Delaney breaks down the truth about the weight-loss industry, why traditional approaches fail, and how skilled communication becomes the trainer’s most powerful tool. You will learn how to conduct effective client interviews, identify motivational drivers, navigate the psychological and emotional challenges that weight-loss clients face, how to apply empathy, recognize “stages of change,” reinforce adherence through proven behavioural “hacks,” and design programs shaped by actionable assessment data rather than guesswork. You will gain a complete system for building trust, improving adherence, cue with clarity, and empower clients to take ownership of their journey. This is not another diet myth or quick-fix program - this is the professional’s roadmap to coaching real humans through real change.

WEBINARS 

Nutrition Education Series - BUILDING A BALANCED MEAL

“Eating a balanced diet” is common nutrition advice, but what does balance actually look like and how do you apply it to different people, goals and lifestyles? This interactive webinar is designed to provide a practical foundation in meal construction and nutrition education. In this webinar, you will learn to:

  • Identify the major nutritional components of a balanced meal.
  • Explain the basic functions of protein, carbohydrates and dietary fats.
  • Understand the importance of fibre, micronutrient-rich foods and hydration.
  • Recognize that nutritional balance does not require every meal - or every person - to look the same.
  • Identify common nutritional gaps within everyday meals.
  • Understand how activity, training, goals, appetite and lifestyle can influence meal composition.
  • Use simple portioning and meal-building strategies without requiring calorie or macronutrient tracking.
  • Suggest practical improvements to everyday meals.
  • Apply "balanced meal" principles to common real-life situations.
  • Recognize the boundaries between general nutrition education and individualized nutrition intervention.

Move beyond simply memorizing nutrition rules and learn a practical framework for evaluating meals, identifying potential gaps and helping clients make realistic, sustainable improvements, all while remaining within your professional scope of practice. Whether you're a fitness professional, current student or simply interested in improving your nutrition knowledge, you'll leave with practical strategies you can use in everyday life.

FITNESS EDUCATION THAT FITS YOUR LIFE

Huge thank you for all your help and especially your support and encouragement as we worked our way through the Group Fitness Practicum. Going into it I wasn’t sure how well I would do, thought I’d manage to scrape through to get the certification, but you were so encouraging and helpful, tolerant of my miscues and off beat’s, my deer in the headlights look when I ran out of step patterns before you changed the music....the group was a lot of fun. I also appreciate your help with the technology piece, made my life a lot less stressful.
