Personal Trainer Overview

Fit-Pro's Personal Trainer School, workshops in CT, MA, NYC, is the only personal trainer school that focuses on application. In order to create revenue streams, personal trainers should have an understanding of specific hands-on application. Our personal trainer seminars and workshops provide required cec's and are 90% hands-on with certified personal trainers. Knowledge is not power until application is present. The principles of personal training and proper exercise mechanics are what make the Fit-Pro's Personal Trainer School workshop and seminar one-of-a-kind. A certification workshop or seminar from Fit-Pro's Personal Training School (FPTA) is valuable to the employer, fitness director, and personal trainer. We demand—please—you become a certified personal trainer, with an accredited organization, and receive your continuing education credits (cec’s), but remember personal trainer certifications do not effectively delineate between qualified and unqualified personal trainers. A personal trainer who attends a class room seminar gains informative "book" knowledge—this only makes the certified personal trainer textbook smart. Without the platform of knowledge in regards to application your only a "rent-a-buddy". Understanding the body & how it functions is based on science not "gym" talk.

Training Philosophy

Fit-Pro's Personal Training School, provides more than just continuing education credits (CEC’s). Becoming a certified personal trainer is more than passing a test. Through our workshops and seminars, Fit-Pro's Personal Training School, teaches facilities and certified personal trainers more hands-on than any other personal training school in the country. We teach application—and how to increase revenue to your staff of certified personal trainers. How? Fit-Pro's Personal Trainer School demonstrates, hands-on, the difference between nonsense high-risk exercises based on sensation vs. proper anatomical function based on science. Become a "qualified", certified personal trainer who understands the difference between "gym" talk and science. Become a "requested" personal trainer who doesn’t worry about client renewals.
