Senior trainer training - course for safe training with older people
Certified Senior Trainer – Target-Group-Specific Training as a Senior Coach
Physical activity is essential for good health—especially as we age. More and more older adults are looking for ways to stay active and fit. Not every type of exercise is right for everyone: Training must be tailored to individual needs and physical capabilities. With the Senior Trainer certification program, you’ll learn how to put together the right mix of strength, endurance, flexibility, and coordination training for seniors. You choose the learning option that best suits you.
Age is just a number, not an excuse
It’s often only after retirement that many people have the time to enjoy life and pursue activities they’ve always wanted to do. Unfortunately, for many, their bodies no longer cooperate—loss of strength, limited mobility, and memory problems restrict seniors’ freedom.
As a senior fitness trainer, you’ll work with older adults who want to maintain or regain their physical abilities. Through targeted training, you’ll help counteract functional decline associated with aging—and witness how your clients’ health and quality of life improve.
What to Expect from the Training Program
In the fundamentals module, you’ll explore the basics of anatomy, physiology, and exercise science—supplemented by nutrition-related topics, professional knowledge, and first aid for sports injuries.
In the Senior Fitness Trainer module, you’ll learn to plan effective endurance training and conduct age-appropriate tests to assess physical performance. Building on this, you’ll design training programs tailored to specific target groups.
You’ll become familiar with all relevant types of training: pelvic floor exercises, flexibility training, spinal exercises, and strength training using small and large equipment. You’ll also explore training for various medical conditions, examine specialized nutrition for older adults, as well as learning in later life, memory training, psychology, and support for older adults.
What do you do as a senior fitness trainer?
You develop a training program that is optimally tailored to the needs and physical capabilities of older adults. Through a combination of strength, endurance, flexibility, and coordination training, you help reduce functional decline in older adults.
You’ll address various health conditions, provide advice on specialized nutrition for older adults, and incorporate memory training—so you can comprehensively support seniors in the areas of exercise, prevention, and nutrition.

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.
Module Mobility & training in old age
Health benefits of training (SEN)
In the Health Benefits of Exercise unit, participants learn how regular exercise not only increases physical performance, but also has numerous health benefits. The focus is on the positive effects on the cardiovascular system, the immune system and mental health.
The course sheds light on how targeted training can be used to prevent lifestyle diseases such as diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis and depression. Participants will learn which forms of training are particularly suitable for promoting general health and what to look out for in different target groups.
In addition, specific case studies are played through and practical methods for motivating customers are presented in order to integrate exercise into everyday life in the long term and ensure sustainable health-promoting effects.
Coordination training (SEN)
Coordination is the basis for the safe and efficient execution of movements. It is becoming increasingly important, especially for older people. In coordination training, the six basic coordinative abilities - balance, reaction, rhythm, coupling, differentiation and orientation - are therefore systematically dealt with and their interplay analyzed.
A particular focus is placed on age-related physiological changes such as the decline in sensory abilities, delayed reaction times and a decrease in the ability to balance. Scientific findings are used to show which coordinative requirements are particularly challenging in old age and how they affect mobility and everyday competence.
The course goes on to show how coordination is linked to cognitive and motor requirements and how these can be specifically trained in old age, for example to prevent falls or promote responsiveness. Neurophysiological principles such as the role of the central nervous system in controlling movement sequences are also taken into account.
Agility and mobility training (SEN)
In the mobility training & mobility course, participants gain a practical understanding of the importance of mobility in old age. Physical changes and their influence on mobility, health and independence are discussed, with a particular focus on joint function and muscular flexibility .
With the help of targeted exercises for mobilization and stretching, participants learn how to design age-appropriate movement units for everyday life or group training. Particular attention is paid to functional transfer in everyday situations, for example when standing up, reaching or turning.
The subject concludes with the development of a separate unit on the topic of mobility for senior citizens and therefore provides an ideal basis for working with older people - both in the preventative area and in health-promoting group training.
Functional movement analysis
In the Functional Movement Analysis course unit, the focus is on the quality of everyday movements in old age. Participants learn to recognize and systematically analyse typical movement and posture patterns of older people, such as reduced arm swing, balance weaknesses or gait instability.
In addition to practical observation, they will learn how to safely carry out and evaluate functional tests such as the "chair-rise test" or the "timed-up-and-go test". From this, targeted training measures can be derived to improve mobility, strength and coordination in everyday life.
Particular attention is paid to formulating individual training goals from real everyday movements such as getting up from a chair, walking or reaching for objects and creating a mini-training plan based on these observations. This practice-oriented unit creates the basis for effective and needs-oriented training planning for older people.
Special physiology and pathology (SEN)
The ageing process affects almost all body systems and is accompanied by physiological changes and an increased susceptibility to certain diseases. This subject focuses on central aspects of geriatrics, in particular changes in the cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal, nervous and metabolic systems.
Building on this, there is a comprehensive introduction to common age-related diseases such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's or dementia. The aim is to develop a sound understanding of the development, symptoms and relevance of these diseases in the context of exercise and training in old age.
Participants learn the essential basics for recognizing health-related restrictions in older people and taking them into account accordingly - always within the scope of their professional competence.
Integrated core training
Numerous studies have shown that a well-trained core contributes significantly to stability, fall prevention and healthy posture. This is exactly where the Integrated Core Training class comes in. Participants learn why a stable core, which consists of the pelvic floor, deep abdominal and back muscles and the diaphragm, is crucial for posture, balance and safe movement.
The units cover key topics such as pelvic floor training, targeted core stabilization on stable and unstable surfaces and integration into everyday movement sequences . The focus is particularly on age-appropriate implementation: the exercises are gentle, functional and individually scalable - ideal for working with older people.
Among other things, participants learn how incontinence, instability and the risk of falling can be reduced through targeted core training. In addition to many practical exercise examples, aspects such as breathing control, exercise guidance and training structure are also taught. An ideal module for anyone who wants to combine functional, health-oriented training with clear relevance to everyday life.
Integrated strength training (SEN)
Strength training is an essential component of health promotion, injury prevention and performance enhancement. The integrated strength training module covers the three main forms of training: equipment, small equipment and outdoor training.
The focus is on targeted strengthening of the upper and lower extremities as well as the core muscles, tailored to the needs of older people. In addition to the safe use of classic training equipment such as the leg press or the rowing machine, the functional use of Therabands, dumbbells and everyday objects is also taught.
Special emphasis is placed on suitability for everyday use: the focus is on exercises to prevent falls, to promote walking safety and to cope with typical everyday situations such as standing up or carrying. Participants also learn how to design individual strength circuits and adapt training concepts to different performance levels.
Endurance training in practice (SEN)
This unit on endurance training in old age teaches participants in a practical and understandable way how targeted endurance training can improve the health and quality of life of older people. Participants learn which physiological changes need to be taken into account in old age and how to design endurance training in an age-appropriate and safe way .
In addition to theoretical knowledge about training methods and load control, the focus is also on specific exercise units, training plan creation and motivation techniques. The aim is to optimally prepare trainers to help senior citizens achieve more exercise, health and independence .
Fall prevention and clinical pictures (SEN)
Falls are one of the most common causes of accidents in old age and often have considerable health, psychological and social consequences. The participants deal with scientifically based risk factors for falls as well as epidemiological data on their frequency and relevance in old age.
A central topic is the classification of risk factors into extrinsic (e.g. environmental factors, use of aids) and intrinsic factors (e.g. muscle strength, balance, neurological diseases). In addition, the connection between common geriatric diseases such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, dementia and Parkinson's disease and the risk of falling is explained.
It also shows which preventive measures can be used effectively through targeted exercise promotion. The content is based on current guidelines and evidence-based approaches to fall prevention and also takes into account psychological aspects such as fear of falling and its influence on mobility behavior.
Nutrition in old age (SEN)
This specialist module is dedicated to the special requirements of nutrition in old age - a key topic for all those who want to provide health-conscious support to senior citizens. Participants learn how physiological needs change with increasing age. A slower metabolism, a reduced energy intake combined with a high need for vitamins, minerals and proteins as well as a decreasing sensation of thirst are particular challenges.
In addition to theoretical knowledge about critical nutrients, common deficiency symptoms, age-related changes in digestion and loss of appetite, the course also focuses on practical implementation in the everyday lives of older people. Easily digestible, nutrient-dense foods, the importance of regular meals and the consideration of individual health restrictions (e.g. diabetes, chewing and swallowing difficulties) are discussed.
Another focus is on empathetic communication about nutrition in old age and the clear distinction between this and nutritional therapy advice. Case studies and practice-oriented tasks round off the module and make it a valuable basis for working with an ever-growing target group.
Training theory, especially senior training (SEN)
Physiological processes change with increasing age: Muscle mass and strength decrease, reaction times lengthen and the regeneration time increases. This is precisely where the training theory lesson specifically for senior citizens comes in. It provides in-depth knowledge about the effects of training in old age, how they can be specifically promoted and why adapted training is essential for independence, fall prevention and cognitive performance.
Participants will learn about key training principles and methods for age-appropriate load control. Particular attention is paid to heart rate control, the Borg scale and the correct dosage of repetitions, sets and breaks. In addition to theory, relevant types of training such as strength, endurance, flexibility and coordination training are also covered with regard to everyday use in older people. Finally, it shows how a training session can be structured sensibly and individually adapted to the performance level - from the definition of goals to the selection of exercises and appropriate differentiation.
The licensing model in the fitness industry began to take hold in the 1980s. The exact timing may vary by region, but the growing popularity of fitness and health training led to a sharp increase in demand for qualified professionals. This made it necessary to set standards for the training of trainers and to recognize their qualifications.
The development of the licensing model was largely driven by the professionalization and growth of the fitness industry. Particularly in countries such as the USA, Germany and other Western European countries, a system of certificates and licenses was introduced to ensure that fitness trainers had in-depth knowledge in areas such as anatomy, training theory, nutrition and safety.
In Germany, for example, the B license was introduced as a basic qualification for fitness trainers, followed by higher levels such as the A license. The aim of introducing such models was to ensure quality and safety in the fitness sector and to provide consumers with guidance when choosing a competent trainer. Since then, the license model has continuously evolved to meet the growing demands and new trends in the fitness sector.
The licensing models (C-, B-, A-) are widely used in the fitness industry, but are not state-recognized qualifications for fitness trainers. They are awarded by private educational institutions or fitness associations and depend on their reputation. They are considered professional qualifications, but not formal state qualifications. Unfortunately, the licensing models are not standardized and are therefore difficult to compare between individual private training providers. They are generally graded according to learning level, starting with the C license.
Will the sports competence module count towards the price of further training courses if I have already completed it?
The sports competence module is not included several times in our training courses. If you have already completed the module, the examination will of course be recognized. This does not result in a price reduction, as the module is not charged again in further training courses. Your advantage: You save time and can concentrate on new content.
What is Blended Learning?
Blended Learning means that a portion of the course is carried out completely online, with digital media and online exames, and a portion of the course takes place as in-person or classroom units. The theory subjects from our „Basic Knowledge Module“ can be completed as online (distance) learning using our video lessons from home.
After registering for one of our courses you will receive access data for the Online Academy Account, and you can begin viewing the online lessons right away. Blended Learning is ideal for those with busy schedules and active professional lives.
What is the difference between a "Diploma" and an "A-License" course?
Flexyfit uses two terms for the highest level of various courses in German-speaking countries, and the difference between "Diploma/Diplom" and "A-License/Lizenz" lies only in the name. In Germany the term "Diplom" (diploma) is protected terminology that can only be used by certain educational institutions ("Hochschule") For this reason, we use the term "A-License", a much more widespread term. In Austria, the term "Diplom" (diploma) can be used when an appropriate education is undergone, however.
Regardless of the "Diploma Conundrum", our courses build on each other, such that a C-License is very preliminary and introductory, a B-License is more in-depth and an A-License represents a the highest, most comprehensive level of the specific course. Whether your certificate of completion for a course has printed A-License or Diploma will depend on the country in which you are located and your chosen language.
What is the difference between A-License and B-License?
The Diploma/A-License is an extended version of the B-License training.
We recommend the B-license above all to optimize your own training or to deal with the topics for a healthy life. The A-license training courses are well suited to starting a career in the respective field.
The training to become afitness trainer B licenseis completed as a purely distance learning course, i.e. the entire course can be completed from home.
How do the courses work?
All of our courses comprise the following 8 Steps:
Registration for your desired course
After registering, you receive your log-in information for your online Academy Account
The course start, based on your course modality or variant, can be immediate or on a specific date
Course materials, information and the online video lessons are available for you to begin studying in your online Academy Account

How your knowledge is tested: multiple choice subject exams and final exams
After successfully completing your exams, you will receive your certificate
Are there prerequisites for participating in the courses?
In general, there are no prerequisites for course or workshop participation.
German/Austrian Matura (secondary school university-prep exams) or similar certificates are not required. You also do not need any specific previous knowledge, since we build all of our courses up from a basic knowledge module, the Fitness Fundamentals, so you have a firm understanding of important fundamental subjects like anatomy and physiology. These subjects prepare you for the specific modules of your course.
We do recommend that you take an exercise fitness test or similar if you are uncertain about your ability to participate in all practical exercises in the classroom or independently.
We also recommend that if you wish to enroll in a course in German that you have a German competency level of at least B2 (CEFR), since the course material can be somewhat complex for certain subjects.
If you are not yet 18 years of age, we require a letter of content from a parent or guardian to purchase and participate in a course.
What study materials will I receive?
When you register for a course you will receive access information for your Online Academy Account, where all of your course materials can be found. That is where you will find Course Texts & Presentations that are used in the lessons, as well as the super helpful visual study material, our Online Video Lessons.
You are welcome to try out our Demo Access, the Free Trial of our online learning platform, in order to have a look at our course contents and material: FREE TRIAL
If I have already completed a course with Flexyfit and would like to start another, will I save on the cost of the new course?
If you have already completed a course with us and are interested in another, then the Basic Knowledge Module will be subtracted from the cost of your new course. Obviously, you do not have to complete the subjects from the Basic Knowledge Module again once you have already done so in your previous course, and your new course will be at a reduced cost!
You can find more information about our Upgrades here: UPGRADES
What happens if I am sick and have to miss a classroom unit?
If you happen to get sick at the time of one of your course classroom days, a one-time make-up day at no charge is available to you.
Please provide us with a doctor's note (sick note), and we will enable a function on your online Academy Account so you can independently book a replacement session at no charge.
Does the content of a fitness education differ depending on the institution?
It can be somewhat difficult to compare educational institutions in the areas of fitness, health and exercise, since they have the freedom to decide what the content of their courses is and where they put the focus in their education, as well as what they call their certificatons. One option is to compare the course units and the contents of the various subjects. If you need help, we are happy to consult with you at any time!
What do the certifications EN ISO 9001, ÖNORM D1501, TÜV certified courses and Ö-Cert mean?
TÜV EN ISO 9001 The Austrian certification agency TÜV Austria Cert GmbH has certified our quality management system, and we have been awarded the specific certificatin for EN ISO 9001. The means that the internal structures of our educational institution are certified.
TÜV-certified courses As already mentioned, there are not specific standards set for the content of fitness and wellness education. On our own initiative we have sought out this certification and offer courses that have been inspected in terms of the course contents, instructor qualifications and exam procedure. We want to stand out from competitors in this respect and guarantee the quality of our course contents.
TÜV ÖNORM D1501 The course Wellness & Fitness Personal Trainer has met the specifications of this standardization norm. This certification stipulates the course units, practical hours, and the course content.
Ö-Cert There are several providers who describe their courses as „certified according to Ö-Cert“. One could incorrectly assume that the entire course is certified. A layperson might mistakenly believe here that the entire course is certified. Unfortunately, this is not correct. Anyone who receives Ö-Cert as a training provider has certification as a quality provider in adult education and is thus listed with funding agencies for funding applications in Austria.
One2One individual instruction means that you will complete the course with the guidance of an instructor of your choosing in individual lessons for each subject. You are able to receive individual attention and support for the entirety of your education.
For whom is individual instruction best suited?
Individual instruction is great for those with a demanding career or work life who have a tight schedule and do not have the option to attend regular classroom dates. In addition, if you are a communicative and motor learning type, then individual instruction with its flexible appointment and location possiblities and opportunity to engage in direct communication with an instructor is a great course modality for you.
How can I register for One2One individual instruction?

In your Flexyfit Online Campus you can select an instructor for each individual module of the course. Each instructor will contact you directly and you can agree on a time and place for your appointment(s).
Why do I need the code provided after booking an appointment?
The code is necessary to confirm that your One2One appointment has taken place. For this reason, please bring your code along to the lesson and give it to your instructor at the end of the meeting.
How long does a course take?
The duration depends on the type of course and the rate that you complete your exams. Since you can book your appointments on an individual basis according to your needs, you are ultimately in control of how quickly you complete your exams. Our prescribed amount of time is within one year after you final in-person course unit.
With a personal schedule you have the advantage that your course duration can be substantially shorter than a standard group classroom version of the course might be. In the end, the duration of your course is in your hands.
How is the course structured in One2One?
All of our courses contain the theory module with fitness and exercise Basic Knowledge consisting of anatomy, training theory, physiology, etc. These lessons can be completed from the comfort of home with the video lessons, texts and presentations on your Flexyfit Online Campus.
Your selected course module will then continue with Individual Lessons. Completion of the subject exams from the Basic Knowledge Module is a prerequisite for registering for your practical exams.
Where does my final practical exam take place?
After attending all of your individual appoints and successfully completing your theory exams you can use your Online Campus to schedule a practical exam date with the instructor of your choice. At the date and time you have agreed upon, you will take your practical (oral) exam at the location you have selected with your chosen instructor.
How much time do I have to complete my exams and finish the course?
The exam completion period is dependent on the course variant that you have booked and ranges between 6 and 12 months after your last in-person classroom date (presence day). More detailed information can be found in our Terms and Conditions
How do the theory exams work?
Every course contains the Basic Knowledge Module, which is the theoretical material in the subjects of Anatomy, Physiology, Training Theory. etc.
All subjects in the Basic Knowledge Module as well as the subjects of the individual courses can be completed with online theory exams in each subject in the Academy Account. Be aware that there is no predetermined order for taking the subject exams in the Basic Knowledge Module!
The online exams can be started at any time. Per subject you will have 60 minutes to complete the exam. Each individual question also has a maximum time allowance of 40 seconds.
In order to complete the online exams for a specific course, the online exams for the Basic Knowledge Module must be successfully completed.
Do I need to know the Latin terminology for the exams?
You are here because you want to improve your expertise concerning the human body, how it works and how specific exercises affect certain musculature and joints.
Of particular interest are the origins and insertions of the individual muscles. So that you can best prepare for the exams, you can find the vocabulary for parts of the body, locations, directions and sizes throughout the presentations and texts for anatomy. Both Latin and common terms for bones, muscles, parts of the body and directions are used throughout the texts and videos.
How do I know if I am ready for an exam?
For each online subject exam you have one dummy exam (practice test) at your disposal. This exam is just like a real exam. The final grade does not get saved in your records and calculated in your final grade. You can use this dummy exam to get an impression of the format as well as the contents of the subject exam. This can help you evaluate if you are ready to take the exam.
How do the practical/oral exams work?
An examiner presents questions derived from the course contents to the student. The questions must be answered verbally as well as demonstrated physically alone with any necessary explanations , depending on the nature of the question.
The examiner awards points for each question. The student must receive a minimum of 50% of the total possible points in order to successfully pass the exam.

with honors (70 -79% of possible points)
satisfactory completion (50 - 69% of possible points)

What happens if I fail the exam?
You have 2 attempts for each subject exam and for the final exam. These are included in the course costs for every course package. (Packages Premium and VIP include additional attempts in the course costs.) After failing the first attempt, allow our system 2-3 days to make your second attempt available to you. If you fail both attempts, additional fees are required for the additional attempts. These fees vary depending on the type of exam.
For each subject, a maximum of 5 exam attempts are possible, and the 5th attempt must be carried out as an oral exam with an examiner.

Yes, of course that's possible! Just provide the details of the company for the bill.

Can I receive financial aid or grants for my course?
Our courses are appropriate for many financial support and grant programs. Whether your course is financed by such an institution or program is not up to us, however. The financial aid institution will decide if they will support your education with us. We are happy to provide you with the course information that the financial aid institution requires for an application. You are responsible for the application for financial aid or grants.
An overview of the most relevant support institutions can be found here.
If I am approved for financial aid from an institution do they take over my course costs immediately?
Depending on the funding institution, either the cost of your course will be taken over immediately (e.g. AMS) or you will be responsible for your course costs during your study and receive repayment of those costs after successful course completion (e.g. waff). Please inform yourself of the exact stipulations of funding with your institution.
Does Flexyfit offer a money-back guarantee?
At Flexyfit there is not a money back guarantee, but a right of withdrawal.

If the coupon was purchased earlier than 14 days before the withdrawl, the coupon can be redeemed for another Flexyfit course.

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!
