                                                                We educate the best trainers in the fitness branch. From start to finish of the education - and beyond!- we support and guide our students.
Functional anatomy is a foundation necessary for all trainers in exercise, fitness and sports. This subject provides a comprehensive introduction to the anatomy of the human body and a wellspring of important knowledge.
The course is constructed to present the information in an interesting and comprehensible manner and features different learning approaches appropriate for Fitness and Personal Trainers.
 
The goal is, to understand the relationship between movement patterns, the human body and relevant anatomical terminology.
 
                                                                Our participants are introduced to the basics of sports nutrition.
As a foundation the composition of general nutrition including macro and micro nutrients, as well as the water balance, are discussed. In order to understand various correlations, the energy metabolism are explained in detail.
In addition, the effects of individual food components in the human body, as well as their importance in sports are covered.
 
                                                                 
                                                                More and more companies are integrating Corporate Wellness and similar health initiatives into their employee benefits packages. By doing so they promote the health and well-being of their employees, reducing the incidence of sick-leave and building healthier, stronger team dynamics. 
Exactly why such initiatives are important is discussed in this introduction to the concept, as well as challenges that such initiatives face including organisational dysfunction.
Participants also learn about the advantages of corporate wellness and some trusted approaches and tools for finding and working with a company. 
We offer suggestions on how to approach companies about Corporate Wellness, how to develop a corporate wellness concept and important organisational points to consider. 
Participants will be exposed to some practical examples and will have the possiblity to perform group work on the topic.
 
                                                                The unit on Marketing and Customer Interaction gives participants some insight into identifying, working with and marketing to their ideal customer. This is one of the most useful units for the aspiring trainer, as it helps them identify their place in the market, which makes for a more successful career start.
We begin by taking a look at Marketing itself to understand exactly what it is and of what relevance it has for personal trainers.
Important basic concepts such as USP, positioning, target market, etc. are introduced and different models from marketing such as the SMART Formula, marketing mix (7Ps) and more are explained.
The communication between trainer and client is also addressed in this unit. Various aspects of communication theory and some guidelines for successful communication are covered. 
Upon completion of this subject, participants are able to develop marketing strategies for their product and/or services, ready to position themselves in a market rich in variety and full of possibility!
 
                                                                A working understanding of human physiology and therefore the relationships between the various functions of the human body is crucial for anyone working in the exercise and fitness field. It is a requisite knowledge for the sufficient practice of their profession.
This course makes the relationships within the human organism graspable for everyone. Take a deep-dive into the human body and learn the functions of our organism for your new profession in fitness.
In this subject you will get a close look at energy metabolism needed for muscle activation, the circulatory system and the pulmonary system.
Any high quality education in fitness and exercise begins with the foundations of anatomy and physiology.
 
                                                                In this unit participants are prepared for successful communication with their clients on every level. In addition, we take a look at how the trainer or coach can go about dealing with their own goals and motives, which will in turn help them better understand their clients.
The right goal-setting and the proper approach to feedback are an important parts of this unit.
The way we manage stress as trainers and with our clients and a variety of learning strategies are explored so these skills can be integrated into your professional approach.
 
                                                                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.
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.
The following topics are covered as part of the course:
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.
 
                                                                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.

                                                                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.

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.
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.
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.
You can take your educational leave for a maximum of 1 year within 4 years - there are 3 options:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.

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.

                                                                    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.

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.
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.
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.
You can take your educational leave for a maximum of 1 year within 4 years - there are 3 options:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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 :)
