MASTER TRAINER CERTIFICATE PROGRAM - 7 CERTIFICATE

With an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, the average trainee in gyms today presents far more movement and postural issues than ever before. Naturally, the older training methods cannot be used for the current gym demographic. Many trainees are simply not ready to train using conventional exercises like squats, bench presses or walking on the treadmill due to the degree of dysfunction that their bodies have. Unfortunately, most trainers just brush this problem under the carpet and resort to using machines that fix the plane of movement. While this may allow the trainee to exercise, It worsens their problems and sooner rather than later, will lead to more serious injuries. Distinguish yourself from the competition and learn the art and science of corrective exercise. However, until now this has been difficult to do due to the background in physiology required. We have simplified the process into a very straightforward method. Our course teaches you how to identify and fix dysfunction using basic tools and a simple approach that just requires you to be observant.
