The human body is a product of evolution and remarkably
adaptable. However, many people are not aware of how
vulnerable our spine is to injuries.
Back pain is one of the
most common health problems of our time.
Unfavorable physical stress, prolonged sitting, poor posture, and
non-ergonomic work can put a significant strain on our back. This can restrict
flexibility and stability and ultimately lead to
muscular imbalances and back pain.
As a spine trainer, you will become familiar with the
various causes of back problems and learn to use
functional exercises to stabilize the spine.
With this expertise, you can help your clients prevent back
problems and avoid long-term consequences through customized personal training
in the field of spine training. 
If you want to expand your knowledge
in the areas of relaxation and nutrition, the further training
as a
Dipl. Vital and Health Trainer
is recommended. In addition to the spine trainer module, this
distance learning course also includes training as a
nutrition trainer
and
relaxation trainer
with up-to-date and informative content. If you prefer a personal and intensive
learning experience, there is also the option to complete this training as a
face-to-face course.

                                                                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.

It is ideal for beginners, rehab patients and advanced users, as equipment guides the movement and thus enables a controlled load.
Especially in the area of spinal health, the training can help to compensate for muscular imbalances, improve posture and prevent back pain. Individually adjustable weights and guided movement sequences allow the training to be optimally adapted to the needs of the user - from prevention to performance enhancement. The aim is to build functional strength that provides stability, resilience and a new body awareness in everyday life and sport.
 
                                                                 
                                                                 
                                                                 
                                                                According to the definition, a fall (Sturz) refers to a sudden, uncontrolled, unintentional descent of the body from lying, sitting, or standing to a lower level. Unfortunately, both the frequency and consequences of falls increase with age. Falls in older adults are by far the most common cause of injuries and the leading cause of accident-related deaths. The reasons for this are varied, ranging from declining sensory organs to coordination impairments and muscular deficits.
In the unit on fall prevention, the causes of increasing fall risk are thoroughly explained, and measures are presented to help reduce the risk of falls and positively influence gait, posture, coordination, and strength. Targeted training is particularly important for seniors, as it helps maintain autonomy and subsequently, quality of life. Participants also learn about tests for assessing fall risk and the methodical development of different training focuses in fall prevention.

Of course! There are numerous funding options available for training at the Flexyfit Sports Academy. State-specific and EU funding as well as tax incentives form the basis for this.
However, it is important to 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 for your funding application. You must then submit the application itself to the relevant funding body.
Once you have confirmed your funding application, in some cases the funding body will pay the training costs directly, for example the AMS. In other cases, you will be reimbursed either all or part of the costs after successfully completing the training, as is the case with the WAFF. Please contact the relevant funding institution directly for details on the funding process and the steps required.
Yes, the majority of our courses are suitable for educational leave.
Educational leave offers you the opportunity to continue your education without terminating your employment contract. You can make an agreement with your employer that releases you 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 in a personal, non-binding consultation .
You can take educational leave for a maximum of one year within four years. There are three options available to you:
It is important that your employer agrees to the 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.
The progress of your training is documented, for example, in the form of examinations or attendance certificates issued by us.
A spinal trainer is an expert who helps their clients strengthen their musculoskeletal system, both in individual and group sessions. One main goal is to improve the muscle mass and strength of the core muscles, as this is a crucial factor for back problems. In particular, the focus is on long-term strengthening of the abdominal and back muscles.
In addition, spinal trainers support their clients in increasing their core mobility through static and dynamic stretching methods, fascia training, and mobilization exercises for the spine.
Another important task of a spinal trainer is prevention. This involves analyzing work-related risk factors for back pain and developing measures to reduce them through technical (e.g., furniture, room climate), administrative, and personnel interventions. Furthermore, the most common complaints that can arise at or through the workplace (such as shoulder-arm syndrome or carpal tunnel syndrome) are identified, and it is shown how they can be avoided through behavioral prevention.
Whether employed or self-employed, you can offer courses or workshops on back health and prevention of back problems and create individual training plans for your clients. This can be done as an employee in fitness studios and sports centers, health practices, or spa and rehabilitation facilities, or on a freelance basis in your own studio, in companies and offices, or at your clients' homes.
On our platform Sportkarriere, we regularly list job advertisements from fitness studios. There, you can directly apply for jobs as a fitness trainer, branch manager, instructor, or studio staff.

Plan your educational leave with us now! We will be happy to clarify your individual training requirements in a personal, non-binding consultation .
You can take educational leave for a maximum of one year within four years. There are three options available to you:
It is important that your employer agrees to the 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.
The progress of your training is documented, for example, in the form of examinations or attendance certificates issued by us.
A spinal trainer is an expert who helps their clients strengthen their musculoskeletal system, both in individual and group sessions. One main goal is to improve the muscle mass and strength of the core muscles, as this is a crucial factor for back problems. In particular, the focus is on long-term strengthening of the abdominal and back muscles.
In addition, spinal trainers support their clients in increasing their core mobility through static and dynamic stretching methods, fascia training, and mobilization exercises for the spine.
Another important task of a spinal trainer is prevention. This involves analyzing work-related risk factors for back pain and developing measures to reduce them through technical (e.g., furniture, room climate), administrative, and personnel interventions. Furthermore, the most common complaints that can arise at or through the workplace (such as shoulder-arm syndrome or carpal tunnel syndrome) are identified, and it is shown how they can be avoided through behavioral prevention.
Whether employed or self-employed, you can offer courses or workshops on back health and prevention of back problems and create individual training plans for your clients. This can be done as an employee in fitness studios and sports centers, health practices, or spa and rehabilitation facilities, or on a freelance basis in your own studio, in companies and offices, or at your clients' homes.
On our platform Sportkarriere, we regularly list job advertisements from fitness studios. There, you can directly apply for jobs as a fitness trainer, branch manager, instructor, or studio staff.

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 :)
