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.

Forms of Nutrition and Diets
Industrialization has shaped the way people eat nowadays, which has led to the increasing popularity of convenience products and fast food. This development also has an impact on the health of people. More and more suffer from overweight and diet-related diseases. Therefore, it is important to deal with the topics of "types of nutrition and diets" and to learn about individual energy needs.

In the course Nutrition Forms and Diets as part of the Nutrition Trainer program, you will learn how to calculate daily energy needs, consumption and basic metabolic rate. Furthermore, you will learn about the different types of diets that are considered beneficial to health. These include vegetarianism, veganism, low fat diets, ketogenic diets and low carb diets.

Vegetarianism is a form of diet in in which only plant foods are eaten. A vegan diet is a form of vegetarianism but avoids all animal products, including milk, eggs, and honey. Low fat diets are diets that avoid eating foods that are high in fat. Ketogenic diets are diets in which the body uses mainly fats as a source of energy.  Low carb diets are diets in which the amount of carbohydrates in the food is kept as low as possible.

Physiological Aspects of Nutrition

Within the subject of Physiological Aspects of Nutrition, participants learn how to determine the body composition of clients, taking into account various measurement methods.

In addition to body weight, body composition also includes the proportion of body fat, muscle mass and bone mass. Body weight is a composition of muscle percentage, body fat percentage, bone percentage, and water percentage.
The body fat percentage is the amount of body weight that consists of fat. The body composition can be determined using various methods.

One of these methods is the compartment model. This model divides the body into different compartments that contain nutrients and differ in size and nutrient concentration. The compartment model allows for a better understanding of absorption and distribution processes of nutrients in the body. 

In addition to the physiological aspects of nutrition, the participants also learn about other interesting topics during the Nutrition Coach program.

Funding & educational leave - how it works

Can I get funding for my training?

There are a variety of funding options for training 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.

All relevant funding bodies at a glance

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 the 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 afterwards - how to continue after training

What does a fitness trainer do?

The areas of responsibility of a fitness trainer are varied and depend, among other things, on where and in which employment relationship they are employed or self-employed.

In both cases, the focus is of course on fitness. As an employee in a gym, you could also be responsible for administrative tasks in the administration or instructing new gym members.

As a personal trainer, you check the fitness level of your customers and set goals, create training plans for them and explain strength and endurance equipment and fitness exercises. You then accompany your customers on their journey, motivate them and ensure that they achieve their goals.

If you become a group fitness trainer, you will lead group classes for sports such as Pilates, yoga or aerobics. For this, it is advisable to take an additional course to deepen your knowledge.

What do fitness instructors earn?

As a fitness trainer in a permanent position, you can expect a starting salary of between €18,600 and €21,900 gross per year. With a few years of professional experience, the salary range then increases to €23,200 to €25,000 per year.

In the case of self-employment, the salary depends on how many clients a trainer has and how the prices are set. Apart from that, there is of course a room rent to be paid, unless you focus on home visits and outdoor training.

Where do fitness trainers work?

Fitness trainers often work in fitness studios, as permanent employees or freelancers. But fitness trainers are also needed in wellness businesses such as hotels or health centers, or in sports clubs.

Self-employment as a personal trainer is also a popular option, with many possible locations. In addition to own premises, outdoor training or home visits to customers are also common. In some gyms, you can also make arrangements to use the premises in return for rent.

It is no longer very easy to set up your own fitness studio due to the competition. This is why many fitness trainers go into areas such as workplace health promotion or sports development, where they advise on the design of fitness studios, sports grounds and gyms, for example.

What is a nutrition trainer allowed to do in Austria?

A nutrition coach is allowed to give nutritional recommendations to people who are physically healthy and need support, for example, to eat a more balanced diet, lose weight or build muscle.

In contrast to a nutritionist (also known as a dietician), a nutrition coach is not allowed to advise people with physical complaints and illnesses, such as food intolerances or diseases of the digestive tract, according to the trade regulations.

Nutrition trainers are not permitted to write nutrition plans as part of their self-employed activities. Knowledge transfer in the form of teaching activities (e.g. lectures, workshops, seminars, etc.) is excluded from the scope of the Trade Regulation Act in accordance with Section 2 GewO, i.e. no trade license is required for this. Nutritional training is permitted if it does not interfere with the area of nutritional advice (§ 119 Para. 1 GewO).

What is a nutrition trainer allowed to do in Germany?

In Germany, the terms nutrition trainer and nutritionist are the same, but there is a difference between them and the medical profession of dietician. In Germany, nutrition trainers are allowed to help healthy people change their diet or advise people who want to fundamentally improve their diet.

Where do nutrition trainers work?

As a nutrition trainer, you can become self-employed and either impart your knowledge on nutrition directly to customers or work with groups in lectures, workshops and seminars.

In a permanent position, for example, you will work in fitness and wellness hotels as a contact person for all questions relating to healthy and balanced nutrition.

How can Flexyfit help me find a job?

We regularly list job advertisements from fitness studios on our Sportkarriere platform. There you can apply directly for jobs as a fitness trainer, branch manager, instructor or studio employee.

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.

Forms of Nutrition and Diets
Industrialization has shaped the way people eat nowadays, which has led to the increasing popularity of convenience products and fast food. This development also has an impact on the health of people. More and more suffer from overweight and diet-related diseases. Therefore, it is important to deal with the topics of "types of nutrition and diets" and to learn about individual energy needs.

In the course Nutrition Forms and Diets as part of the Nutrition Trainer program, you will learn how to calculate daily energy needs, consumption and basic metabolic rate. Furthermore, you will learn about the different types of diets that are considered beneficial to health. These include vegetarianism, veganism, low fat diets, ketogenic diets and low carb diets.

Vegetarianism is a form of diet in in which only plant foods are eaten. A vegan diet is a form of vegetarianism but avoids all animal products, including milk, eggs, and honey. Low fat diets are diets that avoid eating foods that are high in fat. Ketogenic diets are diets in which the body uses mainly fats as a source of energy.  Low carb diets are diets in which the amount of carbohydrates in the food is kept as low as possible.

Physiological Aspects of Nutrition

Within the subject of Physiological Aspects of Nutrition, participants learn how to determine the body composition of clients, taking into account various measurement methods.

In addition to body weight, body composition also includes the proportion of body fat, muscle mass and bone mass. Body weight is a composition of muscle percentage, body fat percentage, bone percentage, and water percentage.
The body fat percentage is the amount of body weight that consists of fat. The body composition can be determined using various methods.

One of these methods is the compartment model. This model divides the body into different compartments that contain nutrients and differ in size and nutrient concentration. The compartment model allows for a better understanding of absorption and distribution processes of nutrients in the body. 

In addition to the physiological aspects of nutrition, the participants also learn about other interesting topics during the Nutrition Coach program.

Funding & educational leave - how it works

Can I get funding for my training?

There are a variety of funding options for training 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.

All relevant funding bodies at a glance

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 the 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 afterwards - how to continue after training

What does a fitness trainer do?

The areas of responsibility of a fitness trainer are varied and depend, among other things, on where and in which employment relationship they are employed or self-employed.

In both cases, the focus is of course on fitness. As an employee in a gym, you could also be responsible for administrative tasks in the administration or instructing new gym members.

As a personal trainer, you check the fitness level of your customers and set goals, create training plans for them and explain strength and endurance equipment and fitness exercises. You then accompany your customers on their journey, motivate them and ensure that they achieve their goals.

If you become a group fitness trainer, you will lead group classes for sports such as Pilates, yoga or aerobics. For this, it is advisable to take an additional course to deepen your knowledge.

What do fitness instructors earn?

As a fitness trainer in a permanent position, you can expect a starting salary of between €18,600 and €21,900 gross per year. With a few years of professional experience, the salary range then increases to €23,200 to €25,000 per year.

In the case of self-employment, the salary depends on how many clients a trainer has and how the prices are set. Apart from that, there is of course a room rent to be paid, unless you focus on home visits and outdoor training.

Where do fitness trainers work?

Fitness trainers often work in fitness studios, as permanent employees or freelancers. But fitness trainers are also needed in wellness businesses such as hotels or health centers, or in sports clubs.

Self-employment as a personal trainer is also a popular option, with many possible locations. In addition to own premises, outdoor training or home visits to customers are also common. In some gyms, you can also make arrangements to use the premises in return for rent.

It is no longer very easy to set up your own fitness studio due to the competition. This is why many fitness trainers go into areas such as workplace health promotion or sports development, where they advise on the design of fitness studios, sports grounds and gyms, for example.

What is a nutrition trainer allowed to do in Austria?

A nutrition coach is allowed to give nutritional recommendations to people who are physically healthy and need support, for example, to eat a more balanced diet, lose weight or build muscle.

In contrast to a nutritionist (also known as a dietician), a nutrition coach is not allowed to advise people with physical complaints and illnesses, such as food intolerances or diseases of the digestive tract, according to the trade regulations.

Nutrition trainers are not permitted to write nutrition plans as part of their self-employed activities. Knowledge transfer in the form of teaching activities (e.g. lectures, workshops, seminars, etc.) is excluded from the scope of the Trade Regulation Act in accordance with Section 2 GewO, i.e. no trade license is required for this. Nutritional training is permitted if it does not interfere with the area of nutritional advice (§ 119 Para. 1 GewO).

What is a nutrition trainer allowed to do in Germany?

In Germany, the terms nutrition trainer and nutritionist are the same, but there is a difference between them and the medical profession of dietician. In Germany, nutrition trainers are allowed to help healthy people change their diet or advise people who want to fundamentally improve their diet.

Where do nutrition trainers work?

As a nutrition trainer, you can become self-employed and either impart your knowledge on nutrition directly to customers or work with groups in lectures, workshops and seminars.

In a permanent position, for example, you will work in fitness and wellness hotels as a contact person for all questions relating to healthy and balanced nutrition.

How can Flexyfit help me find a job?

We regularly list job advertisements from fitness studios on our Sportkarriere platform. There you can apply directly for jobs as a fitness trainer, branch manager, instructor or studio employee.

Great training and super nice people. You can tell how much emphasis is placed on conveying the necessary knowledge to the course participants in an understandable way. I was even kindly allowed to take a course completely free of charge after there were somewhat problematic and disruptive participants in my group. I will 100% take more courses with you in the future because learning is extremely fun, especially thanks to the friendly staff!

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 :)
