Course Description:
Personal Training is a course where students will have the opportunity to earn an American Council on Exercise’s Personal Trainer Certification. This course is designed to give students the knowledge and understanding necessary to prepare for the ACE Personal Trainer Certification Exam and become effective personal trainers. This course presents the ACE Integrated Fitness Training Model as a comprehensive system for designing individualized programs based on each client’s unique health, fitness, and goals. The information covered by this course and the ACE IFT Model will help students learn how to facilitate rapport, adherence, self-efficacy and behavior change in clients, as well as design programs that help clients to improve posture, movement, flexibility, balance, core function, cardiorespiratory fitness, and muscular endurance and strength. After this course, students will understand the most current, complete picture of the knowledge, instructional techniques and professional responsibilities personal trainers need to provide safe and effective exercise instruction to their clients. Students will be responsible for designing and supervising exercise programs. Students will also be certified in CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer and First Aid. This course will run similar to an online college course with meetings, classroom instruction, labs and independent study, research and assignments.

• Human Anatomy, Exercise Physiology, Applied Kinesiology, and Nutrition
