Module Sports competence
Anatomy
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.
Physiology
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.
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.
Sports Psychology - Communication & Motivation
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.
Marketing & Customer Interaction
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!
First aid & sports injuries
Since injuries are a daily occurrence in sports, it is important to know about the causes and consequences of the most common injuries. In case of an emergency the personal trainer must be able to react quickly and correctly.
In addition, the understanding of various injury patterns helps to be able to avoid them from happening.
Intro to Corporate Wellness Programs
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.
Basic Nutrition
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.
Professional Topics and Law

What tax obligations and options do I have as a trainer?
What does the path to self-employment look like?
Who is liable in the event of sports accidents?
All these questions and many more will be answered in this subject.
Module Fitness training
Strength Training Machines
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.
Basics
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.
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.
Module In-depth fitness training
Training Plans
The planning of training is an essential tool for every instructor in the areas of fitness training, personal training, senior training, etc. Only a reasonable, goal oriented and individual planning of training can lead to the best possible results for the clients.
Efficient planning of training includes: correct setting of goals, choice of exercises and tools, frequency of training, and more. If just one of those aspects is not properly covered, the training goal can be missed completely. The right way to reach the training goal can only be found if all requests and expectations of the person to be trained are perceived, recognized and implemented.
The course "training planning" focuses specifically on the practical implementation of planning. However, theoretical background is also explained, for example, the four stages of adaptation of the human organism, the physiological effect of training and the interaction of load and stress. In addition, important contents of training theory are repeated and demonstrated with practical examples. Based on the practical exercises, it is shown: the correct choice of the load normatives (intensity, volume, density, duration, frequency), the importance of energy supply processes for different training areas and much more. The idea is to gain an understanding of the fact that there is no "golden recipe" for writing a training plan, instead, a high quality training plan can only be made by customizing it in detail to the requirements/wishes of each client.
For a crash course in training planning or to refresh the contents, it is worth taking a look at our online workshop 1x1 of training planning.
Foundational Full-body Exercises
Full-body exercises are an important part of training when it comes to strengthening the entire body.
Deadlifts, squats and bent-over rowing are three of the most important full-body exercises. These exercises get the body in shape, improve overall well-being and are therefore essential to know for a fitness trainer. They also help to increase endurance and strength.
The subject "full body workout" is very important, because it teaches participants the basics they need for all other types of exercises and workouts. Many people focus on training individual muscle groups, but that is not the most effective way to get the body in shape.
Full-body exercises are very effective, because they engage multiple muscle groups at once and make the workout more efficient. Still, these exercises are very demanding and open to mistakes. For this reason, we provide detailed instructions to our future fitness trainers, so that they can perform the exercises correctly and instruct their clients well.
The subject is very practice-oriented. Coaching is performed collectively within the group and important content is elaborated. Each exercise is designed to work a variety of muscle groups.
Knowledge of full-body exercises is an important subject for the fitness trainer license. Using this knowledge, trainers can help their clients to work out their bodies completely and therefore achieve best results.
Endurance Training
In training science, endurance describes a person's resistance to fatigue, i.e. how long a certain resistance can be withstood. A distinction is made between different forms of endurance, for example short-term endurance and long-term endurance.
One popular endurance sport is running. The sport has become more popular, especially due to COVID-19-related lockdowns. The advantages are obvious: you don't need a lot of equipment, you can run anytime and anywhere and different training methods can provide plenty of variety. However, many people are not aware of these training methods. They run just for the exercise and not with the aim of improving their own performance. Yet so much more is possible.
In order to achieve an adaptation, i.e. to last longer, withstand higher speeds, etc., a "training-effective stimulus" is required. Because we will only develop physically if we expose ourselves to stimuli that we are not yet up to. But where exactly is this effective training stimulus? Various performance tests, which are discussed in this subject, are suitable for finding out. The UKK Walking Test is one of them, which is primarily aimed at beginners and less able individuals and provides future fitness trainers with the basis for efficient endurance training planning.
In addition, the learning materials list various endurance training methods and their benefits so that anyone interested in endurance can put together the right training program. These include the endurance method, the cycling method, intensive and extensive intervals, and much more. The five load norms of duration, volume, intensity, density and frequency play an important role in triggering the training stimulus mentioned above.
Sensorimotor Training
The human body is a complex system of muscles, tendons, joints and bones that is constantly in motion.
Every movement initiates a reaction that affects other areas of the body. Sensorimotor training is a method that trains exactly such reaction chains in the body. Through specific training of the senses (such as the sense of balance, touch, sight and hearing) and motor skills (muscle strength, coordination, mobility), the interaction of body and mind is improved.
Sensorimotor regulation is the ability of the brain to control motor function and perception. Sensorimotor training originates from the field of physiotherapy. It aims to train sensorimotor regulation and is used, for example, after a stroke. However, it can also be used in competitive sports and fitness to improve motor skills.
In this subject, sensorimotor skills are developed to be used in the fitness instructor training. Practical strengthening exercises are performed using unstable surfaces such as balance boards/foams, gymnastic balls, ropes and slings.
Training on unstable surfaces, such as the one of the BOSU Ball, trains the proprioception, i.e. the perception of the own body and its movements. Any such exercise is a challenge for balance, coordination and strength and is therefore particularly effective.
Strength Training with Free Weights
Free weight training describes training with dumbbells and barbells and is an integral part of weight training. Health athletes, bodybuilders, team athletes, martial artists and all other exercisers have one thing in common: they benefit from training with free weights. This is the great relevance of the topic for all fitness trainers and personal trainers.
The main difference to guided strength training on large machines lies in the degrees of freedom of movement. As a result, not only is the coordinative effort greater, but a large number of auxiliary muscles, so-called synergists, are also activated in addition to the main muscles used. This increases the strain on the muscles and has a positive, stabilizing effect on the joints involved. As a result, the transfer of strength training to everyday life or sport-specific movements is greater, which subsequently leads to a lower risk of injury and a better performance result.
A practical example for comparison: the chest press on the machine primarily trains the pectoralis major muscle, the large chest muscle. Due to the predetermined direction of movement and the stabilized torso through the backrest, hardly any auxiliary muscles are activated. The muscle is therefore trained in isolation. Although this has a positive effect on the growth of the muscle, it has little effect on the transfer to everyday life. This is because in our daily lives we never use one muscle in isolation, it is always an interplay of several muscles, so-called muscle chains. The dumbbell bench press as a counter-example also primarily trains the pectoral muscle, but also requires the interaction of many other muscles in the surrounding area to ensure stability in the shoulder. As a result, the transfer to everyday or sport-specific movements is significantly better.
The disadvantage of free weight training is the risk of injury. To avoid injury, free strength training exercises must first be mastered perfectly before high loads are applied.
During the lectures of this course, various exercises with barbells and dumbbells are practiced and consolidated and supplemented with important coaching points to ensure both safe execution and correct instruction.
Functional Strength Training
In functional training several muscles are strengthened at the same time. Entire muscle groups/muscle chains are worked out. It is mainly focused on the coordination of the muscles, the interaction of the muscles with each other, the economization of the movements and the stability of the core.
Functional strength training is highly important because it can be integrated into daily life and is applicable to all sports. It is used in recreational and leisure sports, in competitive sports, in rehabilitation training and in preventive training. In addition, it can be practiced at any age.
Functional strength training involves training with unstable equipment and with the own body weight.
In this unit, our participants learn how to work with various equipment, such as the sling trainer, the pezzi ball, etc. and how to use them in functional training. They are shown different body weight exercises, different muscle chains and they are taught and how to train them selectively.

you're working at a gym as an employee, you might also handle some administrative tasks or guide new
members through the gym's setup.
As a personal trainer with a personal trainer
certification your role involves analyzing the fitness level of your clients, setting goals
together, creating customized workout plans, and explaining the use of strength and cardio
equipment along with fitness exercises. Subsequently, you accompany
your clients on their journey, provide motivation, and ensure the achievement of their goals.

How much do fitness trainers earn?
The salary of a fitness trainer varies based on the type of employment. In an employment
position one can expect an entry-level salary of around €
18.600 to € 21.900 gross per year. With increasing professional experience, earnings
rise to approximately € 23,200 to € 25,000 annually.
For those who are self employed the income depends on the number of clients and the
set prices. The cost of renting space must also be considered, unless the trainer opts for home
visits and outdoor training.
Where do fitness trainers work?
Fitness trainers find employment in various fields. They often work in fitness
studios, either as permanent employees or independent contractors. Additionally, they
are also needed in wellness establishments such as hotels or health centers or
sports clubs.
Many fitness trainers aspire to be self employed as personal trainers, leading to a
variety of potential work locations. Besides having their own facilities, popular options include
outdoor training or conducting home visits for clients. Some fitness trainers may also arrange
agreements with fitness centers to use their facilities in exchange for rent.
Establishing a personal fitness studio has become more challenging due to growing
competition. As a result, many fitness trainers opt for alternative career paths, such as corporate
wellness or sports development. In the latter, they can provide consultancy for designing fitness
centers, sports fields, and sports halls.
How does Flexyfit assist you in finding a job?
On our platform Sportkarriere we
regularly post job listings from fitness studios. From there, you have the opportunity to directly
apply for positions as a fitness trainer, branch manager, instructor, or studio staff member.
Funding & educational leave - how it works
Can I get funding for my training?
There are a variety of funding options for training courses 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.
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 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.
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.
Qualified fitness trainers can work in gyms, health centers, sports clubs, hotels, rehabilitation clinics, wellness areas or as independent personal trainers. Workplace health promotion and online coaching are also popular areas of employment.
Can I work in a gym or sports club after my training?
Yes, most graduates start their careers in fitness studios or sports clubs. The TÜV-certified diploma is recognized by employers throughout Austria and internationally and qualifies you for these positions.
Is self-employment also possible?
Yes, many qualified fitness trainers work as self-employed trainers, offer group training or develop online coaching programs. Self-employment offers flexible working hours and higher earning potential.
Do I need a business license as a fitness trainer?
Yes, to work as a self-employed fitness trainer in Austria, you need an independent business license. Registration takes place at the responsible municipal office or district authority and is straightforward.
Income varies greatly depending on the country, region, type of employment and professional experience. In employment, the salary depends on the employer, location and qualifications. Self-employed fitness trainers can structure their income themselves through their client base, specializations and additional offers.
What factors influence earnings (experience, place of work, self-employment)?
Earnings depend on several factors: Professional experience significantly increases the hourly rate. Higher incomes are possible in Vienna and large cities than in rural regions. Self-employment offers the highest earning potential, but requires personal initiative in marketing. Specializations such as rehabilitation training or nutrition coaching also increase income.
What options are there to increase income in the long term? Long-term
You can increase your income by specializing (e.g. athletic training, senior fitness), building up your own customer base, online coaching and digital products (training plans, e-books), further training in nutritional advice or rehabilitation sports as well as promotion to management positions such as studio manager.
What requirements do I need for the fitness trainer course?
You need to be at least 18 years old and interested in fitness and health. No previous school knowledge or A-levels required. The course is suitable for beginners and advanced students.
Can I still become a fitness trainer at 40+?
Yes, absolutely! Many successful fitness trainers start their careers as career changers at the age of 40, 50 or even 60. Life experience, maturity and empathy are often advantages when dealing with customers. The flexible online course allows you to learn on the job at any age.
Do I need special equipment for the online fitness trainer course?
No, for the theoretical training you only need a computer, tablet or smartphone with internet access. For practical exercises, sports clothing and a training mat are helpful, but no expensive equipment is necessary.

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 entire flexyfit team is extremely friendly, prompt and helpful. The lecturers are competent and respond to the course participants. All learning materials were provided clearly and in sufficient detail. The additional videos mean there is something for every type of learner. All in all, the training and exam went well. I can definitely recommend flexyfit and will be happy to book and recommend further training courses with you again!
I really enjoyed training to become a B-license fitness trainer there. The teaching materials provided are great and flawless. I learned a lot of new things there and always enjoyed what I was doing. The team is great and is always there for you if you have any questions!
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 :)
I was able to complete my chosen course very well and quickly. The team is very quick and courteous and you are always offered a good solution if there are any uncertainties. I will book again when I get the chance and can recommend the academy!
Training at Flexyfit was the best decision; I learned a lot about sport and nutrition. The support was always there, very competent and nice staff/trainers. I will definitely recommend the Academy. Especially thanks to Melanie, Sarah and Daniel
A really demanding training, great material, the videos are great, the script complements it well. The structure is very sensible and you can find your way around easily. I just find the proportionality of the yoga license compared to the Pilates license unfavorable. Many more exams are required for the yoga license. The final exam for the yoga license is also significantly more difficult; in my opinion, questions need to be reconsidered.
Thank you Flexyfit - very competent, great documents and support. The practical exercises in Innsbruck were TOP - thank you Matthias. I can only recommend. I will continue. 😉
Very high quality training! The Flexyfit Academy tried very hard to answer and explain in detail all the questions that arose during the training. Can I definitely recommend!
Absolutely satisfied! I chose distance learning because I couldn't be there in person, and I highly recommend it! Everything worked smoothly, contact was quick and a solution was always found if there were any problems. The team is super friendly and the profile overview is very clear. A small suggestion: It would be helpful if users who are inactive for a long time received a reminder or if an app were available so that they could learn on the go.
I was very positively surprised by the training! The distance learning course was very uncomplicated and the service was also perfect! The materials were very good and I learned a lot! I can recommend it with a clear conscience! Update 2024: Now that I have completed my third training course, I can only confirm my first assessment! As a full-time worker, it was a great opportunity for me to do part-time training that corresponds to my passion! I regularly read books on the subject of sport and health, and I have to say that the training courses everywhere are very good and up to date! That surprised me somewhat positively! =) Thanks to Flexyfit I can now turn my hobby into a career! So another clear recommendation from me!
A great training program that is offered there, with a very friendly and competent team. It was a pleasure to learn with your very well prepared videos and scripts. I'm already looking forward to my next training. I'm already looking forward to my next training. I can only highly recommend it, I definitely give it 5 stars.
I did the children's trainer training at Flexyfit. From the very beginning you receive great support and the communication is perfect. Everyone is hardworking and friendly. Everything worked perfectly online and on site. It definitely won't be the last training or workshop I do with you. I am looking forward to meet you again. Thanks to Daniel, Melanie and Beno :-)
Flexible learning made easy :) Very competent and friendly. Very quick answers to questions and I would recommend Flexyfit to anyone who wants to do training in the sports sector 💪🏾
I have already completed two correspondence courses and I can say that continuing my education with the Flexyfit courses is simply fun. You learn at your own pace and are flexible in terms of time and location.
I have now completed two training courses at the Flexyfit Academy and would do it again in a heartbeat. If possible, I recommend the face-to-face courses, they simply result in a really exciting exchange. Service and support are top and all needs are taken into account. Mini drawback: the online learning system is not entirely straight-forward, but you get used to it quickly.
➕ Good institute with a great online academy and a wide range of training options. I have already completed 3 training courses there. I like the modular structure, so that various basic modules can also be used for other training courses. ➖ Unfortunately, the price structure has been adjusted so that (basic) modules that have already been completed can no longer be deducted from the price. A pity.
I have already completed two training courses at the Flexyfit Sports Academy and am completely satisfied! A super nice team, the organization and documents are top - can only be recommended ;)
Great team! The organization of the training is uncomplicated and very competent. The speakers are professional and experienced and bring a good mix of theory and practice. Overall, only recommended.
Incredibly friendly team, always available, incredibly helpful and trying very hard to find a solution for everything. The learning videos and scripts are well prepared and easy to follow. I was personally able to learn the most from the really good tutors in the practical part. Overall, you get a very good overview and insight into the relevant subject areas. The course also showed me personally where I would like to orient myself further and which areas I would like to deepen in depth. In addition: well-equipped teaching halls and very attractive rooms - everything is very inviting and familiar. Every now and then you see someone from the team just coming back from running or the weight room - that makes you feel right away! (Training: Dipl. Medical Sports Supervisor)
I am very satisfied, I had a TOP professor (which is not a given these days). I think it's great that as a nutrition trainer you also have to learn anatomical subjects (it's called sports competence). The support was great too. Very helpful team! All in all I'm very satisfied.
Super fast and nice service! Every question answered immediately and in a pleasant and appreciative way! What would be better would be more time for face-to-face teaching!
My training at Flexyfit Sport Academy... I received the best support and advice from the most competent, friendly and successful team. Many thanks to the top team (office, speakers and coaches). It was a great pleasure for me to walk with you on the path to realizing my own goals.
For all coaches who want to absorb detailed knowledge in one or more areas. I'm just very enthusiastic about the Flexyfit Sport Acamedy and felt like I was in great hands with the trainers. The enthusiasm was so palpable even during the Zoom workshops. Regardless of whether you prefer to read the script or watch the accompanying videos, there is a medium for every type of learner and the learning material is extremely well prepared. And should any questions arise, the “Customer Service” is there super quickly and responds after a few hours or is there to give advice.
Simply great and very, very nice. All the employees from the Flexyfit Sports Academy team are so nice, courteous and helpful. Help is available within minutes to an hour if questions arise while learning online. It's a lot to learn, but it shows that trainer training, no matter the subject, requires a certain foundation and I personally think it's exactly right. For me, this shows quality and that not every self-proclaimed professional is also a connoisseur and expert. Be careful with who and where you train! It is our body and every person should pay attention to it and have the “right” trainer with specialist knowledge at their side. I can only recommend Flexyfit Sports Academy. Many thanks to all Flexyfit Sports Academy employees, you are great!!!!!
Incredibly helpful staff! Even worked especially for me on public holidays and made appointments, very accommodating and supportive. Absolutely recommended and happy :)
The training (Dipl. Health Fitness & Personal Trainer) is really great, if I had a problem I was always helped very quickly. The videos in conjunction with the scripts are very helpful and well designed, the training overall is well structured, including the intermediate exams, practice tasks, etc. This consolidates what you have learned even better! The lecturers are also very competent and my two examiners were very friendly and relaxed, so there was no reason to be nervous. All in all highly recommended!
