Training theory
The first part of training theory teaches the basics of training, such as training principles, principles of training design, training methods and the factors of athletic performance.
As performance, performance diagnostics, training and competition are closely interrelated, they are also taught accordingly in the course.
In the second part of training theory, training is defined and evaluated as a complex action process and in connection with planning, execution and evaluation.
An important part of training theory is still the design of training plans, which is taught in practice with examples of the possibilities of designing a training plan.
In order to delve even deeper into training science, we have worked with top international speakers such as Prof. em. Dr. phil. Dr. med. Dr. h.c. Jürgen Weineck, we have also developed a video workshop on the subject of altitude training.

Practical Hours Fitness Trainer B-License
Performing practical training sessions is an essential component to achieving the Fitness Trainer B-License.
Studying the anatomy of the human body, especially the muscles with origin and insertion, is an important part of the preparation for the exam. Documenting the practical sessions are just as important. A training record is used to get an overview of the performed session, the achieved goal and the personal experience of the participants.
There are 30 training units, in which the participants can put their acquired knowledge into practice. Each of these units has to be recorded by the participants on their own responsibility, so they can show that they are able to prepare, perform and evaluate a training session independently.
The Fitness Trainer B-License is one of our smaller training courses to gain basic knowledge on topics of strength training with machines, anatomy, physiology, training theory and much more. It is important to structure the training in a way that the participants understand the exercises and are able to perform them safely. For the practical sessions a guide will be provided to the participants, which they can use to write down the training record.
For the evidence of completed sessions, a written confirmation from a trainer or screenshots from a training app must be provided.

Foundational Full-body Exercises
Full-body exercises are an important part of training when it comes to strengthening the entire body.
Deadlifts, squats and bent-over rowing are three of the most important full-body exercises. These exercises get the body in shape, improve overall well-being and are therefore essential to know for a fitness trainer. They also help to increase endurance and strength.
The subject "full body workout" is very important, because it teaches participants the basics they need for all other types of exercises and workouts. Many people focus on training individual muscle groups, but that is not the most effective way to get the body in shape.
Full-body exercises are very effective, because they engage multiple muscle groups at once and make the workout more efficient. Still, these exercises are very demanding and open to mistakes. For this reason, we provide detailed instructions to our future fitness trainers, so that they can perform the exercises correctly and instruct their clients well.
The subject is very practice-oriented. Coaching is performed collectively within the group and important content is elaborated. Each exercise is designed to work a variety of muscle groups.
Knowledge of full-body exercises is an important subject for the fitness trainer license. Using this knowledge, trainers can help their clients to work out their bodies completely and therefore achieve best results.

Endurance Training
In training science, endurance describes a person's resistance to fatigue, i.e. how long a certain resistance can be withstood. A distinction is made between different forms of endurance, for example short-term endurance and long-term endurance.
One popular endurance sport is running. The sport has become more popular, especially due to COVID-19-related lockdowns. The advantages are obvious: you don't need a lot of equipment, you can run anytime and anywhere and different training methods can provide plenty of variety. However, many people are not aware of these training methods. They run just for the exercise and not with the aim of improving their own performance. Yet so much more is possible.
In order to achieve an adaptation, i.e. to last longer, withstand higher speeds, etc., a "training-effective stimulus" is required. Because we will only develop physically if we expose ourselves to stimuli that we are not yet up to. But where exactly is this effective training stimulus? Various performance tests, which are discussed in this subject, are suitable for finding out. The UKK Walking Test is one of them, which is primarily aimed at beginners and less able individuals and provides future fitness trainers with the basis for efficient endurance training planning.
In addition, the learning materials list various endurance training methods and their benefits so that anyone interested in endurance can put together the right training program. These include the endurance method, the cycling method, intensive and extensive intervals, and much more. The five load norms of duration, volume, intensity, density and frequency play an important role in triggering the training stimulus mentioned above.

Strength Training with Free Weights
Free weight training describes training with dumbbells and barbells and is an integral part of weight training. Health athletes, bodybuilders, team athletes, martial artists and all other exercisers have one thing in common: they benefit from training with free weights. This is the great relevance of the topic for all fitness trainers and personal trainers.
The main difference to guided strength training on large machines lies in the degrees of freedom of movement. As a result, not only is the coordinative effort greater, but a large number of auxiliary muscles, so-called synergists, are also activated in addition to the main muscles used. This increases the strain on the muscles and has a positive, stabilizing effect on the joints involved. As a result, the transfer of strength training to everyday life or sport-specific movements is greater, which subsequently leads to a lower risk of injury and a better performance result.
A practical example for comparison: the chest press on the machine primarily trains the pectoralis major muscle, the large chest muscle. Due to the predetermined direction of movement and the stabilized torso through the backrest, hardly any auxiliary muscles are activated. The muscle is therefore trained in isolation. Although this has a positive effect on the growth of the muscle, it has little effect on the transfer to everyday life. This is because in our daily lives we never use one muscle in isolation, it is always an interplay of several muscles, so-called muscle chains. The dumbbell bench press as a counter-example also primarily trains the pectoral muscle, but also requires the interaction of many other muscles in the surrounding area to ensure stability in the shoulder. As a result, the transfer to everyday or sport-specific movements is significantly better.
The disadvantage of free weight training is the risk of injury. To avoid injury, free strength training exercises must first be mastered perfectly before high loads are applied.
During the lectures of this course, various exercises with barbells and dumbbells are practiced and consolidated and supplemented with important coaching points to ensure both safe execution and correct instruction.

Functional Strength Training
In functional training several muscles are strengthened at the same time. Entire muscle groups/muscle chains are worked out. It is mainly focused on the coordination of the muscles, the interaction of the muscles with each other, the economization of the movements and the stability of the core.
Functional strength training is highly important because it can be integrated into daily life and is applicable to all sports. It is used in recreational and leisure sports, in competitive sports, in rehabilitation training and in preventive training. In addition, it can be practiced at any age.
Functional strength training involves training with unstable equipment and with the own body weight.
In this unit, our participants learn how to work with various equipment, such as the sling trainer, the pezzi ball, etc. and how to use them in functional training. They are shown different body weight exercises, different muscle chains and they are taught and how to train them selectively.

Sensorimotor Training
The human body is a complex system of muscles, tendons, joints and bones that is constantly in motion.
Every movement initiates a reaction that affects other areas of the body. Sensorimotor training is a method that trains exactly such reaction chains in the body. Through specific training of the senses (such as the sense of balance, touch, sight and hearing) and motor skills (muscle strength, coordination, mobility), the interaction of body and mind is improved.
Sensorimotor regulation is the ability of the brain to control motor function and perception. Sensorimotor training originates from the field of physiotherapy. It aims to train sensorimotor regulation and is used, for example, after a stroke. However, it can also be used in competitive sports and fitness to improve motor skills.
In this subject, sensorimotor skills are developed to be used in the fitness instructor training. Practical strengthening exercises are performed using unstable surfaces such as balance boards/foams, gymnastic balls, ropes and slings.
Training on unstable surfaces, such as the one of the BOSU Ball, trains the proprioception, i.e. the perception of the own body and its movements. Any such exercise is a challenge for balance, coordination and strength and is therefore particularly effective.

Training Plans
The planning of training is an essential tool for every instructor in the areas of fitness training, personal training, senior training, etc. Only a reasonable, goal oriented and individual planning of training can lead to the best possible results for the clients.
Efficient planning of training includes: correct setting of goals, choice of exercises and tools, frequency of training, and more. If just one of those aspects is not properly covered, the training goal can be missed completely. The right way to reach the training goal can only be found if all requests and expectations of the person to be trained are perceived, recognized and implemented.
The course "training planning" focuses specifically on the practical implementation of planning. However, theoretical background is also explained, for example, the four stages of adaptation of the human organism, the physiological effect of training and the interaction of load and stress. In addition, important contents of training theory are repeated and demonstrated with practical examples. Based on the practical exercises, it is shown: the correct choice of the load normatives (intensity, volume, density, duration, frequency), the importance of energy supply processes for different training areas and much more. The idea is to gain an understanding of the fact that there is no "golden recipe" for writing a training plan, instead, a high quality training plan can only be made by customizing it in detail to the requirements/wishes of each client.
For a crash course in training planning or to refresh the contents, it is worth taking a look at our online workshop 1x1 of training planning.

Funding & educational leave - how it works
Can I get funding for my training?
There are a variety of funding options for training courses at the Flexyfit Sports Academy. State-specific and EU funding as well as tax-related options form the basis for this.
However, we would like to point out that the respective funding body is solely responsible for deciding on the allocation or amount of funding.
We will be happy to help you find a suitable funding body and compile all the course information you need for a funding application. You must submit the application itself to the funding bodies.
How does the funding work?
Depending on the funding institution, the training costs are either paid directly after the funding application has been confirmed (e.g. AMS) or reimbursed in full or in part after successful completion of the training (e.g. waff). Please contact the funding institutions yourself to find out how the funding works.
Can I take educational leave for the course?
Yes, the majority of our courses are suitable for educational leave.
If you want to continue your education without terminating your employment, you can arrange educational leave with your employer. This means that you will be released from work for the duration of your training.
Plan your educational leave with us now! We will be happy to clarify your individual training requirements with you in a personal, non-binding consultation .
How does educational leave work?
You can take your educational leave for a maximum of 1 year within 4 years - there are 3 options:
- Educational leave spread over 12 months
- Educational leave split up, but each part must last at least 2 months. The parts must be taken within 4 years.
- Educational leave with part-time educational leave spread over 2 years
It is important that your employer agrees to you taking educational leave. You must provide evidence of the training plans issued by us to the extent of 20 hours per week in the case of full-time educational leave, or at least 10 hours in the case of part-time educational leave.
You must regularly provide evidence of the progress of your training. For example, in the form of examinations or confirmation of attendance, which you will receive from us.
Career Opportunities and Perspectives
What does a fitness trainer do?
Tho roles of a fitness trainers can vary widely based on factors like whether you're employed or working independently, and where you're working.
No matter the job setup, the main focus is always improving people`s fitness. If you're working at a gym as an employee, you might also handle some administrative tasks or guide new members through the gym's setup.
As a personal trainer with a personal trainer certification your role involves analyzing the fitness level of your clients, setting goals together, creating customized workout plans, and explaining the use of strength and cardio equipment along with fitness exercises. Subsequently, you accompany your clients on their journey, provide motivation, and ensure the achievement of their goals.
If you choose the career path of a group-fitness trainer, you will lead group classes for various sports such as Pilates, yoga, or aerobics. In this case it`s advisable to undergo additional training as a Yoga instructor, Pilates trainer or group-fitness trainer to deepen your knwoledge.
How much do fitness trainers earn?
The salary of a fitness trainer varies based on the type of employment. In an employment position one can expect an entry-level salary of around € 18.600 to € 21.900 gross per year. With increasing professional experience, earnings rise to approximately € 23,200 to € 25,000 annually.
For those who are self employed the income depends on the number of clients and the set prices. The cost of renting space must also be considered, unless the trainer opts for home visits and outdoor training.
Where do fitness trainers work?
Fitness trainers find employment in various fields. They often work in fitness studios, either as permanent employees or independent contractors. Additionally, they are also needed in wellness establishments such as hotels or health centers or sports clubs.
Many fitness trainers aspire to be self employed as personal trainers, leading to a variety of potential work locations. Besides having their own facilities, popular options include outdoor training or conducting home visits for clients. Some fitness trainers may also arrange agreements with fitness centers to use their facilities in exchange for rent.
Establishing a personal fitness studio has become more challenging due to growing competition. As a result, many fitness trainers opt for alternative career paths, such as corporate wellness or sports development. In the latter, they can provide consultancy for designing fitness centers, sports fields, and sports halls.
How does Flexyfit assist you in finding a job?
On our platform Sportkarriere we regularly post job listings from fitness studios. From there, you have the opportunity to directly apply for positions as a fitness trainer, branch manager, instructor, or studio staff member.

Training theory
The first part of training theory teaches the basics of training, such as training principles, principles of training design, training methods and the factors of athletic performance.
As performance, performance diagnostics, training and competition are closely interrelated, they are also taught accordingly in the course.
In the second part of training theory, training is defined and evaluated as a complex action process and in connection with planning, execution and evaluation.
An important part of training theory is still the design of training plans, which is taught in practice with examples of the possibilities of designing a training plan.
In order to delve even deeper into training science, we have worked with top international speakers such as Prof. em. Dr. phil. Dr. med. Dr. h.c. Jürgen Weineck, we have also developed a video workshop on the subject of altitude training.

The subject "Equipment-assisted strength training" is part of the fitness trainer B license training and deals with systematic strength training on stationary training equipment. The focus is on movement control, load control and the individual adaptation of training to different target groups.
Basics
In equipment-supported strength training, the muscles are loaded via mechanically guided movement paths. This enables targeted, controlled strain on individual muscle groups and offers a safe form of training, particularly for beginners, people with restricted mobility or in a rehabilitative context.
Aims of the subject
- Teaching the basic biomechanical principles of equipment training
- Correct equipment settings and exercise execution
- Load dosage according to training goal and performance level
- Recognizing and avoiding typical mistakes when using equipment
Contents
The following topics are covered as part of the course:
- Differences between free and guided strength training methods
- Training planning with stationary equipment
- Introduction to equipment parks and standardized equipment circuit systems
- Training control in terms of repetitions, intensity and regeneration
Application in everyday training
The content of this subject forms a basis for practical work in fitness studios or health facilities. Graduates are able to create and instruct individual training programs with equipment and implement them in a safety-conscious manner.

Practical Hours Fitness Trainer B-License
Performing practical training sessions is an essential component to achieving the Fitness Trainer B-License.
Studying the anatomy of the human body, especially the muscles with origin and insertion, is an important part of the preparation for the exam. Documenting the practical sessions are just as important. A training record is used to get an overview of the performed session, the achieved goal and the personal experience of the participants.
There are 30 training units, in which the participants can put their acquired knowledge into practice. Each of these units has to be recorded by the participants on their own responsibility, so they can show that they are able to prepare, perform and evaluate a training session independently.
The Fitness Trainer B-License is one of our smaller training courses to gain basic knowledge on topics of strength training with machines, anatomy, physiology, training theory and much more. It is important to structure the training in a way that the participants understand the exercises and are able to perform them safely. For the practical sessions a guide will be provided to the participants, which they can use to write down the training record.
For the evidence of completed sessions, a written confirmation from a trainer or screenshots from a training app must be provided.

Foundational Full-body Exercises
Full-body exercises are an important part of training when it comes to strengthening the entire body.
Deadlifts, squats and bent-over rowing are three of the most important full-body exercises. These exercises get the body in shape, improve overall well-being and are therefore essential to know for a fitness trainer. They also help to increase endurance and strength.
The subject "full body workout" is very important, because it teaches participants the basics they need for all other types of exercises and workouts. Many people focus on training individual muscle groups, but that is not the most effective way to get the body in shape.
Full-body exercises are very effective, because they engage multiple muscle groups at once and make the workout more efficient. Still, these exercises are very demanding and open to mistakes. For this reason, we provide detailed instructions to our future fitness trainers, so that they can perform the exercises correctly and instruct their clients well.
The subject is very practice-oriented. Coaching is performed collectively within the group and important content is elaborated. Each exercise is designed to work a variety of muscle groups.
Knowledge of full-body exercises is an important subject for the fitness trainer license. Using this knowledge, trainers can help their clients to work out their bodies completely and therefore achieve best results.

The subject is very practice-oriented. Coaching is performed collectively within the group and important content is elaborated. Each exercise is designed to work a variety of muscle groups.
Knowledge of full-body exercises is an important subject for the fitness trainer license. Using this knowledge, trainers can help their clients to work out their bodies completely and therefore achieve best results.

Endurance Training
In training science, endurance describes a person's resistance to fatigue, i.e. how long a certain resistance can be withstood. A distinction is made between different forms of endurance, for example short-term endurance and long-term endurance.
One popular endurance sport is running. The sport has become more popular, especially due to COVID-19-related lockdowns. The advantages are obvious: you don't need a lot of equipment, you can run anytime and anywhere and different training methods can provide plenty of variety. However, many people are not aware of these training methods. They run just for the exercise and not with the aim of improving their own performance. Yet so much more is possible.
In order to achieve an adaptation, i.e. to last longer, withstand higher speeds, etc., a "training-effective stimulus" is required. Because we will only develop physically if we expose ourselves to stimuli that we are not yet up to. But where exactly is this effective training stimulus? Various performance tests, which are discussed in this subject, are suitable for finding out. The UKK Walking Test is one of them, which is primarily aimed at beginners and less able individuals and provides future fitness trainers with the basis for efficient endurance training planning.
In addition, the learning materials list various endurance training methods and their benefits so that anyone interested in endurance can put together the right training program. These include the endurance method, the cycling method, intensive and extensive intervals, and much more. The five load norms of duration, volume, intensity, density and frequency play an important role in triggering the training stimulus mentioned above.

Strength Training with Free Weights
Free weight training describes training with dumbbells and barbells and is an integral part of weight training. Health athletes, bodybuilders, team athletes, martial artists and all other exercisers have one thing in common: they benefit from training with free weights. This is the great relevance of the topic for all fitness trainers and personal trainers.
The main difference to guided strength training on large machines lies in the degrees of freedom of movement. As a result, not only is the coordinative effort greater, but a large number of auxiliary muscles, so-called synergists, are also activated in addition to the main muscles used. This increases the strain on the muscles and has a positive, stabilizing effect on the joints involved. As a result, the transfer of strength training to everyday life or sport-specific movements is greater, which subsequently leads to a lower risk of injury and a better performance result.
A practical example for comparison: the chest press on the machine primarily trains the pectoralis major muscle, the large chest muscle. Due to the predetermined direction of movement and the stabilized torso through the backrest, hardly any auxiliary muscles are activated. The muscle is therefore trained in isolation. Although this has a positive effect on the growth of the muscle, it has little effect on the transfer to everyday life. This is because in our daily lives we never use one muscle in isolation, it is always an interplay of several muscles, so-called muscle chains. The dumbbell bench press as a counter-example also primarily trains the pectoral muscle, but also requires the interaction of many other muscles in the surrounding area to ensure stability in the shoulder. As a result, the transfer to everyday or sport-specific movements is significantly better.
The disadvantage of free weight training is the risk of injury. To avoid injury, free strength training exercises must first be mastered perfectly before high loads are applied.
During the lectures of this course, various exercises with barbells and dumbbells are practiced and consolidated and supplemented with important coaching points to ensure both safe execution and correct instruction.

Functional Strength Training
In functional training several muscles are strengthened at the same time. Entire muscle groups/muscle chains are worked out. It is mainly focused on the coordination of the muscles, the interaction of the muscles with each other, the economization of the movements and the stability of the core.
Functional strength training is highly important because it can be integrated into daily life and is applicable to all sports. It is used in recreational and leisure sports, in competitive sports, in rehabilitation training and in preventive training. In addition, it can be practiced at any age.
Functional strength training involves training with unstable equipment and with the own body weight.
In this unit, our participants learn how to work with various equipment, such as the sling trainer, the pezzi ball, etc. and how to use them in functional training. They are shown different body weight exercises, different muscle chains and they are taught and how to train them selectively.

Sensorimotor Training
The human body is a complex system of muscles, tendons, joints and bones that is constantly in motion.
Every movement initiates a reaction that affects other areas of the body. Sensorimotor training is a method that trains exactly such reaction chains in the body. Through specific training of the senses (such as the sense of balance, touch, sight and hearing) and motor skills (muscle strength, coordination, mobility), the interaction of body and mind is improved.
Sensorimotor regulation is the ability of the brain to control motor function and perception. Sensorimotor training originates from the field of physiotherapy. It aims to train sensorimotor regulation and is used, for example, after a stroke. However, it can also be used in competitive sports and fitness to improve motor skills.
In this subject, sensorimotor skills are developed to be used in the fitness instructor training. Practical strengthening exercises are performed using unstable surfaces such as balance boards/foams, gymnastic balls, ropes and slings.
Training on unstable surfaces, such as the one of the BOSU Ball, trains the proprioception, i.e. the perception of the own body and its movements. Any such exercise is a challenge for balance, coordination and strength and is therefore particularly effective.

Training Plans
The planning of training is an essential tool for every instructor in the areas of fitness training, personal training, senior training, etc. Only a reasonable, goal oriented and individual planning of training can lead to the best possible results for the clients.
Efficient planning of training includes: correct setting of goals, choice of exercises and tools, frequency of training, and more. If just one of those aspects is not properly covered, the training goal can be missed completely. The right way to reach the training goal can only be found if all requests and expectations of the person to be trained are perceived, recognized and implemented.
The course "training planning" focuses specifically on the practical implementation of planning. However, theoretical background is also explained, for example, the four stages of adaptation of the human organism, the physiological effect of training and the interaction of load and stress. In addition, important contents of training theory are repeated and demonstrated with practical examples. Based on the practical exercises, it is shown: the correct choice of the load normatives (intensity, volume, density, duration, frequency), the importance of energy supply processes for different training areas and much more. The idea is to gain an understanding of the fact that there is no "golden recipe" for writing a training plan, instead, a high quality training plan can only be made by customizing it in detail to the requirements/wishes of each client.
For a crash course in training planning or to refresh the contents, it is worth taking a look at our online workshop 1x1 of training planning.

Funding & educational leave - how it works
Can I get funding for my training?
There are a variety of funding options for training courses at the Flexyfit Sports Academy. State-specific and EU funding as well as tax-related options form the basis for this.
However, we would like to point out that the respective funding body is solely responsible for deciding on the allocation or amount of funding.
We will be happy to help you find a suitable funding body and compile all the course information you need for a funding application. You must submit the application itself to the funding bodies.
How does the funding work?
Depending on the funding institution, the training costs are either paid directly after the funding application has been confirmed (e.g. AMS) or reimbursed in full or in part after successful completion of the training (e.g. waff). Please contact the funding institutions yourself to find out how the funding works.
Can I take educational leave for the course?
Yes, the majority of our courses are suitable for educational leave.
If you want to continue your education without terminating your employment, you can arrange educational leave with your employer. This means that you will be released from work for the duration of your training.
Plan your educational leave with us now! We will be happy to clarify your individual training requirements with you in a personal, non-binding consultation .
How does educational leave work?
You can take your educational leave for a maximum of 1 year within 4 years - there are 3 options:
- Educational leave spread over 12 months
- Educational leave split up, but each part must last at least 2 months. The parts must be taken within 4 years.
- Educational leave with part-time educational leave spread over 2 years
It is important that your employer agrees to you taking educational leave. You must provide evidence of the training plans issued by us to the extent of 20 hours per week in the case of full-time educational leave, or at least 10 hours in the case of part-time educational leave.
You must regularly provide evidence of the progress of your training. For example, in the form of examinations or confirmation of attendance, which you will receive from us.
Career Opportunities and Perspectives
What does a fitness trainer do?
Tho roles of a fitness trainers can vary widely based on factors like whether you're employed or working independently, and where you're working.
No matter the job setup, the main focus is always improving people`s fitness. If you're working at a gym as an employee, you might also handle some administrative tasks or guide new members through the gym's setup.
As a personal trainer with a personal trainer certification your role involves analyzing the fitness level of your clients, setting goals together, creating customized workout plans, and explaining the use of strength and cardio equipment along with fitness exercises. Subsequently, you accompany your clients on their journey, provide motivation, and ensure the achievement of their goals.
If you choose the career path of a group-fitness trainer, you will lead group classes for various sports such as Pilates, yoga, or aerobics. In this case it`s advisable to undergo additional training as a Yoga instructor, Pilates trainer or group-fitness trainer to deepen your knwoledge.
How much do fitness trainers earn?
The salary of a fitness trainer varies based on the type of employment. In an employment position one can expect an entry-level salary of around € 18.600 to € 21.900 gross per year. With increasing professional experience, earnings rise to approximately € 23,200 to € 25,000 annually.
For those who are self employed the income depends on the number of clients and the set prices. The cost of renting space must also be considered, unless the trainer opts for home visits and outdoor training.
Where do fitness trainers work?
Fitness trainers find employment in various fields. They often work in fitness studios, either as permanent employees or independent contractors. Additionally, they are also needed in wellness establishments such as hotels or health centers or sports clubs.
Many fitness trainers aspire to be self employed as personal trainers, leading to a variety of potential work locations. Besides having their own facilities, popular options include outdoor training or conducting home visits for clients. Some fitness trainers may also arrange agreements with fitness centers to use their facilities in exchange for rent.
Establishing a personal fitness studio has become more challenging due to growing competition. As a result, many fitness trainers opt for alternative career paths, such as corporate wellness or sports development. In the latter, they can provide consultancy for designing fitness centers, sports fields, and sports halls.
How does Flexyfit assist you in finding a job?
On our platform Sportkarriere we regularly post job listings from fitness studios. From there, you have the opportunity to directly apply for positions as a fitness trainer, branch manager, instructor, or studio staff member.

The best thing that could have happened to me is this academy. Access to participants is excellent. All employees are very competent, very professional and very friendly. A person can learn so much that it is indescribably good. I would recommend it to everyone. When I arrived in Austria I was looking for something like this and luckily I found this academy and signed up for the course without hesitation. Everything we get in return is worth 100 times more than what we pay. Indescribable experience, indescribable people, once again and 1000 times I say: Thank you for everything, thank you for this indescribable experience. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU

I was able to learn a lot of new things as part of my training at the Flexyfit Academy and was able to take on a new, demanding challenge with my chosen course. The structure of the training courses is very understandable and clear, so that you can master the distance learning course on your own without any problems. If there were any questions, ambiguities or isolated problems, the Academy team was always quick to help and we could always find a common solution. Here and there I would have liked a little more practical relevance. Nevertheless, I always felt very comfortable, had great speakers and with my degree as a qualified medical sports coach, many new doors are now open to me :)
