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.

Funding - how it works

Can I get funding for my training?

At the Flexyfit Academy, you have a variety of options for receiving funding for your training. There are various funding programs at federal state and EU level as well as tax incentives that serve as a basis.
Please note that the decision on the allocation and amount of funding lies exclusively with the respective funding body.
We will be happy to help you find a suitable funding body and provide you with all the course information you need to apply for funding. You submit the application itself directly to the relevant funding body.

All relevant funding bodies at a glance

How does the funding work?

Depending on the funding institution, your training will be financed either through direct assumption of costs after confirmation of the funding application (e.g. AMS) or through full or partial reimbursement after successful completion of the training (e.g. Waff). The best way to find out about individual funding options is to contact the funding institutions in person.

Paths after training - career opportunities and prospects

What does a fitness trainer do?

The tasks of a fitness trainer are extremely varied and depend, among other things, on whether you are employed or self-employed and where you work.

Regardless of the form of employment, the focus is always on promoting fitness. As an employee in a fitness studio, you can also take on administrative tasks in the administration or introduce new members to the studio.

As a personal trainer with a personal trainer qualification, it is your job to analyze the fitness level of your customers, set goals together, create individual training plans and explain the use of strength and endurance equipment as well as fitness exercises. You accompany your clients on their journey, motivate them and ensure that their goals are achieved.

If you decide to become a group fitness trainer, you will lead group classes for various sports such as Pilates, yoga or aerobics. In this case, it is advisable to complete additional training as a yoga teacher, Pilates instructor or group fitness trainer to deepen your knowledge.

How much do fitness trainers earn?

The salary of a fitness trainer varies depending on the type of employment. In a permanent position, you can expect a starting salary of around €18,600 to €21,900 gross per year. With increasing professional experience, earnings rise to around €23,200 to €25,000 per year.

If you are self-employed, your earnings will depend on the number of customers and the prices you set. You also have to take into account the room rent, unless you focus on home visits and outdoor training.

Where do fitness trainers work?

Fitness trainers are employed in various fields. They often work in fitness studios either as permanent employees or as freelancers. They are also needed in wellness businesses such as hotels or health centers as well as in sports clubs.

Self-employment as a personal trainer is also frequently sought, which means that many different locations are possible. In addition to their own premises, outdoor training or home visits to clients are popular options. Some fitness trainers can also make agreements with gyms to use their premises in return for rent.

Due to growing competition, it is no longer so easy to set up your own fitness studio. For this reason, many fitness trainers are opting for alternative career paths such as occupational health promotion or sports development. In the latter, you can advise on the design of gyms, sports grounds and sports halls.

How does Flexyfit help you find a job?

We regularly publish job advertisements from fitness studios on our Sportkarriere platform. From there, you have the opportunity to 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.

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.

Funding - how it works

Can I get funding for my training?

At the Flexyfit Academy, you have a variety of options for receiving funding for your training. There are various funding programs at federal state and EU level as well as tax incentives that serve as a basis.
Please note that the decision on the allocation and amount of funding lies exclusively with the respective funding body.
We will be happy to help you find a suitable funding body and provide you with all the course information you need to apply for funding. You submit the application itself directly to the relevant funding body.

All relevant funding bodies at a glance

How does the funding work?

Depending on the funding institution, your training will be financed either through direct assumption of costs after confirmation of the funding application (e.g. AMS) or through full or partial reimbursement after successful completion of the training (e.g. Waff). The best way to find out about individual funding options is to contact the funding institutions in person.

Paths after training - career opportunities and prospects

What does a fitness trainer do?

The tasks of a fitness trainer are extremely varied and depend, among other things, on whether you are employed or self-employed and where you work.

Regardless of the form of employment, the focus is always on promoting fitness. As an employee in a fitness studio, you can also take on administrative tasks in the administration or introduce new members to the studio.

As a personal trainer with a personal trainer qualification, it is your job to analyze the fitness level of your customers, set goals together, create individual training plans and explain the use of strength and endurance equipment as well as fitness exercises. You accompany your clients on their journey, motivate them and ensure that their goals are achieved.

If you decide to become a group fitness trainer, you will lead group classes for various sports such as Pilates, yoga or aerobics. In this case, it is advisable to complete additional training as a yoga teacher, Pilates instructor or group fitness trainer to deepen your knowledge.

How much do fitness trainers earn?

The salary of a fitness trainer varies depending on the type of employment. In a permanent position, you can expect a starting salary of around €18,600 to €21,900 gross per year. With increasing professional experience, earnings rise to around €23,200 to €25,000 per year.

If you are self-employed, your earnings will depend on the number of customers and the prices you set. You also have to take into account the room rent, unless you focus on home visits and outdoor training.

Where do fitness trainers work?

Fitness trainers are employed in various fields. They often work in fitness studios either as permanent employees or as freelancers. They are also needed in wellness businesses such as hotels or health centers as well as in sports clubs.

Self-employment as a personal trainer is also frequently sought, which means that many different locations are possible. In addition to their own premises, outdoor training or home visits to clients are popular options. Some fitness trainers can also make agreements with gyms to use their premises in return for rent.

Due to growing competition, it is no longer so easy to set up your own fitness studio. For this reason, many fitness trainers are opting for alternative career paths such as occupational health promotion or sports development. In the latter, you can advise on the design of gyms, sports grounds and sports halls.

How does Flexyfit help you find a job?

We regularly publish job advertisements from fitness studios on our Sportkarriere platform. From there, you have the opportunity to apply directly for jobs as a fitness trainer, branch manager, instructor or studio employee.

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 :)
