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 the subject " Overview of Relaxation Methods," the first part presents the current situation regarding " Work-related Stress and Everyday Stress" based on scientific studies. Possible consequences for the individual as well as for our entire society can be derived from this.
In the second part, an overview of different intervention measures is provided. Based on the muscular, vegetative, and cognitive levels, the different Relaxation Methods taught in detail in the subsequent courses are categorized and presented.
 
                                                                The practical sessions are intended to implement, practice, and reinforce the learned theory into practice. Using a guideline, 30 units of relaxation training will be documented.
The goal of the practical sessions is to practice and deepen what has been learned. Participants can record both their own training and guided training sessions with friends and family.
During a session, participants can engage in activities such as progressive muscle relaxation, mental or autogenic training, or breathing exercises. These units can be conducted either individually or with acquaintances/family members. The aim is to develop a sense for relaxation methods so that they can later be competently guided as trainers.
 
                                                                The significance and benefits of mental training have gained ground in various fields over the past decades, whether in sports, professional life, or personal life.
Mental training offers different techniques to optimize the concentration and performance of individuals. Through techniques such as autogenic training, visualization, goal-setting training, etc., undiscovered potentials could be recognized and utilized.
In the realm of relaxation, mental training helps to slow down the relentless thought process, better understand it, and thus make relaxation possible. The course is divided into theoretical and practical parts, with ample space for self-exploration.
 
                                                                Die progressive Muskelrelaxation (PMR), nach Edmund Jacobson, wird bereits seit 1929 gelehrt. Diese Entspannungstechnik ist wissenschaftlich bestens untersucht.
Viele Institutionen, Therapeuten und Trainer nutzen und empfehlen PMR, um Menschen relativ schnell in einem angenehmen Entspannungszustand zu führen.
Diese Methode hat sich seit Ihrer Entstehung stark weiterentwickelt und ist mittlerweile auch in nur wenigen Stunden erlernbar. Im Fach "Progressive Muskelrelaxation" werden zunächst die theoretischen Hintergründe präsentiert, danach wird diese Technik selbst erlebt und selbständig praktiziert.
 
                                                                In todays modern world, stress is something everyone has encountered. Stress is even described by the World Health Organization as the health hazard of the century.
Thats why its important for trainers to address it, and even more important for relaxation trainers to be well-versed in it.
The beginning of this unit consists of background information on stress theory and definitions of stress. The biology of the stress mechanism is discussed, and physiological aspects are linked to stress.
Throughout this training, participants engage with various approaches such as the reaction-oriented approach or the transactional approach. Various models and schemas are presented that have proven effective.
Following a practical input where participants work independently, the SORK schema is examined in depth, discussing personal stressors, organism-specific factors, personal reaction patterns, and consequences.
The effects of stress and techniques for stress management are explained to participants and illustrated through graphics. Relaxation techniques are introduced, and the concept of relaxation is discussed and linked to related terms.

                                                                The unit Flexibility Training and Assisted Stretching is divided into three parts: Flexibility Training, Assisted Stretching, and Fascia Training.
Flexibility Training
Flexibility training involves defining flexibility and mobility. Subsequently, an explanation of flexibility and stretchability is provided. The significance of flexibility for sports and relaxation is discussed, along with determining what influences flexibility and vice versa. Terms such as "Muscle Tone" are introduced and associated with relaxation.
Furthermore, the factors influencing stretchability are discussed, and various stretching methods such as static stretching, dynamic stretching, as well as active and passive stretching are explained. The benefits of stretching are discussed, as well as abilities mistakenly attributed to stretching. Additionally, participants learn various stretching exercises for different body parts.
Assisted Stretching
Assisted stretching as a mobilization and stretching technique is introduced in this unit, along with practical applications of assisted stretching. Participants receive a checklist outlining what to consider during a session. Moreover, contraindications prohibiting assisted stretching are addressed.
Fascia Training
Fascia training is also covered in this unit. The composition of fascia is discussed along with methods for training fascia. Practical exercises for fascia stretching are demonstrated, illustrating how a fascia training session can be conducted.
 
                                                                 
                                                                There are several different types of relaxation methods that people can use to unwind. One of these methods is endurance sports. Endurance sports, alongside meditation and autogenic training, are among the most well-known and popular relaxation methods. Many people appreciate endurance activities as a soothing counterbalance to their demanding workdays. Endurance sports are a fantastic way to relax and keep the body fit. While endurance sports require effort, numerous studies show that they can contribute to reducing stress and tension. Physical exertion triggers the release of endorphins, which reduce stress and lead to a sense of contentment. Which sport provides the best relaxation should be experimented by each individual. Generally, endurance sports such as running, Nordic walking, swimming, or cycling are suitable options. Cycling is gentle on the joints, while swimming provides the additional sensation of being buoyed by water. In this subject of the Relaxation Trainer training program, the different effects of endurance sports on relaxation are examined from a scientific perspective, and specific instructions are provided for using endurance sports for relaxation.
 
                                                                 
                                                                 
                                                                In the subject of Pilates Basic Exercises in the Relaxation Trainer training program, the history and basic concepts of Pilates are learned in the first part. 
In addition to the theoretical part, special attention is paid to the self-experience of this method. By learning typical Pilates exercises, the effects of this method on the human body become tangible. 
Pilates is a method originally developed by Joseph Pilates. This method aims to strengthen the deep muscles and thus improve posture and flexibility. There are numerous exercises that can be performed in different ways. 
Pilates is suitable for both beginners and advanced practitioners and can be practiced both at home and in a studio. It is a physical and mental exercise method originally developed for injury rehabilitation. Self-awareness on a physical and mental level is enhanced. Pilates is a great way to get the body in shape and strengthen the muscles. 
The Pilates concept also serves as a relaxation method as it can be individually tailored to each performance level. The exercises have no negative impact on the body, making Pilates suitable for older people and people with back problems.
 
                                                                 
                                                                What is Yoga and where does it come from? Yoga is an Indian doctrine that originally stems from Hinduism. The core message of Yoga is: "Through practice and habit, one can perceive the world." Yoga is practiced either individually or in a group and consists of various body, breathing, and meditation techniques.
The earliest records of Yoga date back to the 2nd and 1st centuries BCE and are documented in the so-called Vedas, the sacred scriptures of Hinduism. Yoga is an ancient Indian philosophy that aims at the unity of body, mind, and soul.
The practice of Yoga encompasses various exercises, breathing techniques, and meditations aimed at strengthening the body and calming the mind.
In this subject of the Training Course for Relaxation Trainers, we will focus on some basic Yoga exercises that primarily concentrate on relaxation and strengthening of the body. We will also delve into the history and philosophy of Yoga and learn how this ancient tradition has persisted to the present day.
In the main part, selected Yoga positions with a focus on relaxation will be taught. Self-experience, as well as guiding and correcting the selected Yoga exercises, are central.

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 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 .
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 income of a relaxation trainer can vary greatly and depends on various factors, including location, experience, specialisation, number of clients and working environment. In general, relaxation trainers can earn income in different ways:
Fee per session or course: A relaxation trainer can charge clients per session or course. The fee varies depending on the location, market conditions and specialisation of the trainer
Group courses: Relaxation trainers who offer group courses can generate income from course fees. The prices for such courses can vary depending on the target group and location.
Private lessons: Some clients may prefer private lessons or individual counselling. In such cases, relaxation trainers may charge higher fees for personalised attention.
Relaxation trainers have the option of becoming self-employed and passing on relaxation techniques to individuals in their own practice, as well as working in groups. For example, you can give courses or teach in institutions. Nowadays, schools and kindergartens also often have a need for autogenic training.
Some companies also employ an in-house relaxation trainer for their employees to help with work-related stress, so the options are varied and can be flexibly combined.
We regularly list job adverts from fitness studios on our Sportkarriere. There you can apply directly for jobs as a fitness trainer, branch manager, instructor or studio employee.

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.

                                                                    In the subject " Overview of Relaxation Methods," the first part presents the current situation regarding " Work-related Stress and Everyday Stress" based on scientific studies. Possible consequences for the individual as well as for our entire society can be derived from this.
In the second part, an overview of different intervention measures is provided. Based on the muscular, vegetative, and cognitive levels, the different Relaxation Methods taught in detail in the subsequent courses are categorized and presented.
 
                                                                    The practical sessions are intended to implement, practice, and reinforce the learned theory into practice. Using a guideline, 30 units of relaxation training will be documented.
The goal of the practical sessions is to practice and deepen what has been learned. Participants can record both their own training and guided training sessions with friends and family.
During a session, participants can engage in activities such as progressive muscle relaxation, mental or autogenic training, or breathing exercises. These units can be conducted either individually or with acquaintances/family members. The aim is to develop a sense for relaxation methods so that they can later be competently guided as trainers.
 
                                                                    The significance and benefits of mental training have gained ground in various fields over the past decades, whether in sports, professional life, or personal life.
Mental training offers different techniques to optimize the concentration and performance of individuals. Through techniques such as autogenic training, visualization, goal-setting training, etc., undiscovered potentials could be recognized and utilized.
In the realm of relaxation, mental training helps to slow down the relentless thought process, better understand it, and thus make relaxation possible. The course is divided into theoretical and practical parts, with ample space for self-exploration.
 
                                                                    Die progressive Muskelrelaxation (PMR), nach Edmund Jacobson, wird bereits seit 1929 gelehrt. Diese Entspannungstechnik ist wissenschaftlich bestens untersucht.
Viele Institutionen, Therapeuten und Trainer nutzen und empfehlen PMR, um Menschen relativ schnell in einem angenehmen Entspannungszustand zu führen.
Diese Methode hat sich seit Ihrer Entstehung stark weiterentwickelt und ist mittlerweile auch in nur wenigen Stunden erlernbar. Im Fach "Progressive Muskelrelaxation" werden zunächst die theoretischen Hintergründe präsentiert, danach wird diese Technik selbst erlebt und selbständig praktiziert.
 
                                                                    In todays modern world, stress is something everyone has encountered. Stress is even described by the World Health Organization as the health hazard of the century.
Thats why its important for trainers to address it, and even more important for relaxation trainers to be well-versed in it.
The beginning of this unit consists of background information on stress theory and definitions of stress. The biology of the stress mechanism is discussed, and physiological aspects are linked to stress.
Throughout this training, participants engage with various approaches such as the reaction-oriented approach or the transactional approach. Various models and schemas are presented that have proven effective.
Following a practical input where participants work independently, the SORK schema is examined in depth, discussing personal stressors, organism-specific factors, personal reaction patterns, and consequences.
The effects of stress and techniques for stress management are explained to participants and illustrated through graphics. Relaxation techniques are introduced, and the concept of relaxation is discussed and linked to related terms.

                                                                    The unit Flexibility Training and Assisted Stretching is divided into three parts: Flexibility Training, Assisted Stretching, and Fascia Training.
Flexibility Training
Flexibility training involves defining flexibility and mobility. Subsequently, an explanation of flexibility and stretchability is provided. The significance of flexibility for sports and relaxation is discussed, along with determining what influences flexibility and vice versa. Terms such as "Muscle Tone" are introduced and associated with relaxation.
Furthermore, the factors influencing stretchability are discussed, and various stretching methods such as static stretching, dynamic stretching, as well as active and passive stretching are explained. The benefits of stretching are discussed, as well as abilities mistakenly attributed to stretching. Additionally, participants learn various stretching exercises for different body parts.
Assisted Stretching
Assisted stretching as a mobilization and stretching technique is introduced in this unit, along with practical applications of assisted stretching. Participants receive a checklist outlining what to consider during a session. Moreover, contraindications prohibiting assisted stretching are addressed.
Fascia Training
Fascia training is also covered in this unit. The composition of fascia is discussed along with methods for training fascia. Practical exercises for fascia stretching are demonstrated, illustrating how a fascia training session can be conducted.
 
                                                                     
                                                                    There are several different types of relaxation methods that people can use to unwind. One of these methods is endurance sports. Endurance sports, alongside meditation and autogenic training, are among the most well-known and popular relaxation methods. Many people appreciate endurance activities as a soothing counterbalance to their demanding workdays. Endurance sports are a fantastic way to relax and keep the body fit. While endurance sports require effort, numerous studies show that they can contribute to reducing stress and tension. Physical exertion triggers the release of endorphins, which reduce stress and lead to a sense of contentment. Which sport provides the best relaxation should be experimented by each individual. Generally, endurance sports such as running, Nordic walking, swimming, or cycling are suitable options. Cycling is gentle on the joints, while swimming provides the additional sensation of being buoyed by water. In this subject of the Relaxation Trainer training program, the different effects of endurance sports on relaxation are examined from a scientific perspective, and specific instructions are provided for using endurance sports for relaxation.
 
                                                                     
                                                                     
                                                                    In the subject of Pilates Basic Exercises in the Relaxation Trainer training program, the history and basic concepts of Pilates are learned in the first part. 
In addition to the theoretical part, special attention is paid to the self-experience of this method. By learning typical Pilates exercises, the effects of this method on the human body become tangible. 
Pilates is a method originally developed by Joseph Pilates. This method aims to strengthen the deep muscles and thus improve posture and flexibility. There are numerous exercises that can be performed in different ways. 
Pilates is suitable for both beginners and advanced practitioners and can be practiced both at home and in a studio. It is a physical and mental exercise method originally developed for injury rehabilitation. Self-awareness on a physical and mental level is enhanced. Pilates is a great way to get the body in shape and strengthen the muscles. 
The Pilates concept also serves as a relaxation method as it can be individually tailored to each performance level. The exercises have no negative impact on the body, making Pilates suitable for older people and people with back problems.
 
                                                                     
                                                                    What is Yoga and where does it come from? Yoga is an Indian doctrine that originally stems from Hinduism. The core message of Yoga is: "Through practice and habit, one can perceive the world." Yoga is practiced either individually or in a group and consists of various body, breathing, and meditation techniques.
The earliest records of Yoga date back to the 2nd and 1st centuries BCE and are documented in the so-called Vedas, the sacred scriptures of Hinduism. Yoga is an ancient Indian philosophy that aims at the unity of body, mind, and soul.
The practice of Yoga encompasses various exercises, breathing techniques, and meditations aimed at strengthening the body and calming the mind.
In this subject of the Training Course for Relaxation Trainers, we will focus on some basic Yoga exercises that primarily concentrate on relaxation and strengthening of the body. We will also delve into the history and philosophy of Yoga and learn how this ancient tradition has persisted to the present day.
In the main part, selected Yoga positions with a focus on relaxation will be taught. Self-experience, as well as guiding and correcting the selected Yoga exercises, are central.

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 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 .
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 income of a relaxation trainer can vary greatly and depends on various factors, including location, experience, specialisation, number of clients and working environment. In general, relaxation trainers can earn income in different ways:
Fee per session or course: A relaxation trainer can charge clients per session or course. The fee varies depending on the location, market conditions and specialisation of the trainer
Group courses: Relaxation trainers who offer group courses can generate income from course fees. The prices for such courses can vary depending on the target group and location.
Private lessons: Some clients may prefer private lessons or individual counselling. In such cases, relaxation trainers may charge higher fees for personalised attention.
Relaxation trainers have the option of becoming self-employed and passing on relaxation techniques to individuals in their own practice, as well as working in groups. For example, you can give courses or teach in institutions. Nowadays, schools and kindergartens also often have a need for autogenic training.
Some companies also employ an in-house relaxation trainer for their employees to help with work-related stress, so the options are varied and can be flexibly combined.
We regularly list job adverts from fitness studios on our Sportkarriere. 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 :)
