Online Personal Training Course

Personal Training brings together the knowledge and skills you've developed throughout your fitness education and teaches you how to apply them to the individual client. Building on Fitness Theory, Weight Training and your practical experience, you'll learn how to understand a client's needs and abilities, interpret relevant information, and use what you learn to make informed decisions when designing safe, effective and individualized exercise programs.

You'll develop your skills in client consultation and fitness assessment while exploring biomechanics and applied kinesiology, posture and muscle balance, injury prevention, behaviour change and motivation, and cardiovascular, resistance and flexibility program design. You'll also learn how to select appropriate assessments and exercises, establish training variables and progressions, communicate results to clients, recognize when a client's needs fall outside your professional scope of practice, and explore the business side of working as a Personal Trainer.

Throughout the course, the focus shifts from simply understanding exercise to learning how to think like a Personal Trainer - gathering information, understanding the individual in front of you, making informed programming decisions and being able to explain the why behind those decisions. You'll begin applying these skills throughout the course as you work through assessments, program design and client-based learning activities, preparing you for the Personal Training Practicum.

The CFES Personal Trainer Manual and Program Booklet (purchased directly from CFES) include learning activities, assignments, case studies and an open-book exam to reinforce your learning throughout the course.

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.

I would like to say thank you for being a wonderful instructor in The Group Fitness Instructor Theory course. You are very dedicated, details and kind instructor. I loved your lecture. Your lecture was very easy to understand, and I think it is the most important for the lecture especially when you teach students with no health science background.

Just wanted to say thank you for the instruction, tips and encouragement you provided in the Group Fitness Instructor Training. I initially had no intentions of teaching Group Fitness to music, however, after taking your class I'm excited to pursue working in this style of group fitness. I'm aware that I am far from teaching but at least you've given me the tools to pave my way to become a better instructor. You are extremely good at what you do and it shows.
