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.

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.

The practical sessions are intended to implement, practice, and reinforce the learned theory into practice. Using a guideline, 30 units of relaxation training will be documented.
The goal of the practical sessions is to practice and deepen what has been learned. Participants can record both their own training and guided training sessions with friends and family.
During a session, participants can engage in activities such as progressive muscle relaxation, mental or autogenic training, or breathing exercises. These units can be conducted either individually or with acquaintances/family members. The aim is to develop a sense for relaxation methods so that they can later be competently guided as trainers.

Mental & autogenic training
The significance and benefits of mental training have gained ground in various fields over the past decades, whether in sports, professional life, or personal life.
Mental training offers different techniques to optimize the concentration and performance of individuals. Through techniques such as autogenic training, visualization, goal-setting training, etc., undiscovered potentials could be recognized and utilized.
In the realm of relaxation, mental training helps to slow down the relentless thought process, better understand it, and thus make relaxation possible. The course is divided into theoretical and practical parts, with ample space for self-exploration.

Progressive muscle relaxation
Die progressive Muskelrelaxation (PMR), nach Edmund Jacobson, wird bereits seit 1929 gelehrt. Diese Entspannungstechnik ist wissenschaftlich bestens untersucht.
Viele Institutionen, Therapeuten und Trainer nutzen und empfehlen PMR, um Menschen relativ schnell in einem angenehmen Entspannungszustand zu führen.
Diese Methode hat sich seit Ihrer Entstehung stark weiterentwickelt und ist mittlerweile auch in nur wenigen Stunden erlernbar. Im Fach "Progressive Muskelrelaxation" werden zunächst die theoretischen Hintergründe präsentiert, danach wird diese Technik selbst erlebt und selbständig praktiziert.

Stress theory
In todays modern world, stress is something everyone has encountered. Stress is even described by the World Health Organization as the health hazard of the century.
Thats why its important for trainers to address it, and even more important for relaxation trainers to be well-versed in it.
The beginning of this unit consists of background information on stress theory and definitions of stress. The biology of the stress mechanism is discussed, and physiological aspects are linked to stress.
Throughout this training, participants engage with various approaches such as the reaction-oriented approach or the transactional approach. Various models and schemas are presented that have proven effective.
Following a practical input where participants work independently, the SORK schema is examined in depth, discussing personal stressors, organism-specific factors, personal reaction patterns, and consequences.
The effects of stress and techniques for stress management are explained to participants and illustrated through graphics. Relaxation techniques are introduced, and the concept of relaxation is discussed and linked to related terms.

Funding & educational leave - how it works
Can I get funding for my training?
There are a variety of funding options for training at the Flexyfit Sports Academy. State-specific and EU funding as well as tax-related options form the basis for this.
However, we would like to point out that the respective funding body is solely responsible for deciding on the allocation or amount of funding.
We will be happy to help you find a suitable funding body and compile all the course information you need for a funding application. You must submit the application itself to the funding bodies.
How does the funding work?
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 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
- split educational leave, 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.

The areas of responsibility of a fitness trainer are varied and depend, among other things, on where and in which employment relationship they are employed or self-employed.
In both cases, the focus is of course on fitness. As an employee in a gym, you could also be responsible for administrative tasks in the administration or instructing new gym members.
As a personal trainer, you check the fitness level of your customers and set goals, create training plans for them and explain strength and endurance equipment and fitness exercises. You then accompany your customers on their journey, motivate them and ensure that they achieve their goals.
If you become a group fitness trainer, you will lead group classes for sports such as Pilates, yoga or aerobics. For this, it is advisable to take an additional course to deepen your knowledge.
What do fitness instructors earn?
As a fitness trainer in a permanent position, you can expect a starting salary of between €18,600 and €21,900 gross per year. With a few years of professional experience, the salary range then increases to €23,200 to €25,000 per year.
In the case of self-employment, the salary depends on how many clients a trainer has and how the prices are set. Apart from that, there is of course a room rent to be paid, unless you focus on home visits and outdoor training.
Where do fitness trainers work?
Fitness trainers often work in fitness studios, as permanent employees or freelancers. But fitness trainers are also needed in wellness businesses such as hotels or health centers, or in sports clubs.
Self-employment as a personal trainer is also a popular option, with many possible locations. In addition to own premises, outdoor training or home visits to customers are also common. In some gyms, you can also make arrangements to use the premises in return for rent.
It is no longer very easy to set up your own fitness studio due to the competition. This is why many fitness trainers go into areas such as workplace health promotion or sports development, where they advise on the design of fitness studios, sports grounds and gyms, for example.
What do relaxation trainers do?
Relaxation trainers teach people techniques and strategies to reduce stress and show their clients how they can help themselves in stressful situations. For example, they use exercises to reduce stimuli, breathing techniques, stretching and muscle relaxation. Mental training is also used in stress management. For example, visualization and goal-setting training as well as autogenic training are important components of the training to become a relaxation trainer.
What do relaxation trainers earn?
There are big differences in income depending on whether relaxation trainers are self-employed or employed by a company.
In medium-sized companies, a monthly salary of €1500 or more is normal, but as an in-house relaxation trainer in a larger company, the gross monthly income can be as high as €2800.
The highest earnings can be achieved through self-employment, where €3000 per month is feasible with sufficient clients. However, if you are self-employed, you must also own or rent your own premises and take care of the bookkeeping and management.
Where do relaxation trainers work?
Relaxation trainers have the option of becoming self-employed and teaching relaxation techniques to individuals in their own practice, as well as working in groups. For example, you can give courses or teach in institutions. Nowadays, schools and kindergartens also often have a need for autogenic training.
Some companies also employ an in-house relaxation trainer for their employees to help with work-related stress, so the options are varied and can be flexibly combined.

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.

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.

Progressive muscle relaxation
Die progressive Muskelrelaxation (PMR), nach Edmund Jacobson, wird bereits seit 1929 gelehrt. Diese Entspannungstechnik ist wissenschaftlich bestens untersucht.
Viele Institutionen, Therapeuten und Trainer nutzen und empfehlen PMR, um Menschen relativ schnell in einem angenehmen Entspannungszustand zu führen.
Diese Methode hat sich seit Ihrer Entstehung stark weiterentwickelt und ist mittlerweile auch in nur wenigen Stunden erlernbar. Im Fach "Progressive Muskelrelaxation" werden zunächst die theoretischen Hintergründe präsentiert, danach wird diese Technik selbst erlebt und selbständig praktiziert.

Stress theory
In todays modern world, stress is something everyone has encountered. Stress is even described by the World Health Organization as the health hazard of the century.
Thats why its important for trainers to address it, and even more important for relaxation trainers to be well-versed in it.
The beginning of this unit consists of background information on stress theory and definitions of stress. The biology of the stress mechanism is discussed, and physiological aspects are linked to stress.
Throughout this training, participants engage with various approaches such as the reaction-oriented approach or the transactional approach. Various models and schemas are presented that have proven effective.
Following a practical input where participants work independently, the SORK schema is examined in depth, discussing personal stressors, organism-specific factors, personal reaction patterns, and consequences.
The effects of stress and techniques for stress management are explained to participants and illustrated through graphics. Relaxation techniques are introduced, and the concept of relaxation is discussed and linked to related terms.

Can I get funding for my training?
There are a variety of funding options for training at the Flexyfit Sports Academy. State-specific and EU funding as well as tax-related options form the basis for this.
However, we would like to point out that the respective funding body is solely responsible for deciding on the allocation or amount of funding.
We will be happy to help you find a suitable funding body and compile all the course information you need for a funding application. You must submit the application itself to the funding bodies.
How does the funding work?
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 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
- split educational leave, 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.
Career afterwards - how to continue after training
What does a fitness trainer do?
The areas of responsibility of a fitness trainer are varied and depend, among other things, on where and in which employment relationship they are employed or self-employed.
In both cases, the focus is of course on fitness. As an employee in a gym, you could also be responsible for administrative tasks in the administration or instructing new gym members.
As a personal trainer, you check the fitness level of your customers and set goals, create training plans for them and explain strength and endurance equipment and fitness exercises. You then accompany your customers on their journey, motivate them and ensure that they achieve their goals.
If you become a group fitness trainer, you will lead group classes for sports such as Pilates, yoga or aerobics. For this, it is advisable to take an additional course to deepen your knowledge.
What do fitness instructors earn?
As a fitness trainer in a permanent position, you can expect a starting salary of between €18,600 and €21,900 gross per year. With a few years of professional experience, the salary range then increases to €23,200 to €25,000 per year.
In the case of self-employment, the salary depends on how many clients a trainer has and how the prices are set. Apart from that, there is of course a room rent to be paid, unless you focus on home visits and outdoor training.
Where do fitness trainers work?
Fitness trainers often work in fitness studios, as permanent employees or freelancers. But fitness trainers are also needed in wellness businesses such as hotels or health centers, or in sports clubs.
Self-employment as a personal trainer is also a popular option, with many possible locations. In addition to own premises, outdoor training or home visits to customers are also common. In some gyms, you can also make arrangements to use the premises in return for rent.
It is no longer very easy to set up your own fitness studio due to the competition. This is why many fitness trainers go into areas such as workplace health promotion or sports development, where they advise on the design of fitness studios, sports grounds and gyms, for example.
What do relaxation trainers do?
Relaxation trainers teach people techniques and strategies to reduce stress and show their clients how they can help themselves in stressful situations. For example, they use exercises to reduce stimuli, breathing techniques, stretching and muscle relaxation. Mental training is also used in stress management. For example, visualization and goal-setting training as well as autogenic training are important components of the training to become a relaxation trainer.
What do relaxation trainers earn?
There are big differences in income depending on whether relaxation trainers are self-employed or employed by a company.
In medium-sized companies, a monthly salary of €1500 or more is normal, but as an in-house relaxation trainer in a larger company, the gross monthly income can be as high as €2800.
The highest earnings can be achieved through self-employment, where €3000 per month is feasible with sufficient clients. However, if you are self-employed, you must also own or rent your own premises and take care of the bookkeeping and management.
Where do relaxation trainers work?
Relaxation trainers have the option of becoming self-employed and teaching relaxation techniques to individuals in their own practice, as well as working in groups. For example, you can give courses or teach in institutions. Nowadays, schools and kindergartens also often have a need for autogenic training.
Some companies also employ an in-house relaxation trainer for their employees to help with work-related stress, so the options are varied and can be flexibly combined.
How can Flexyfit help me find a job?
We regularly list job advertisements from fitness studios on our Sportkarriere platform. There you can apply directly for jobs as a fitness trainer, branch manager, instructor or studio employee.

Great training and super nice people. You can tell how much emphasis is placed on conveying the necessary knowledge to the course participants in an understandable way. I was even kindly allowed to take a course completely free of charge after there were somewhat problematic and disruptive participants in my group. I will 100% take more courses with you in the future because learning is extremely fun, especially thanks to the friendly staff!

The best thing that could have happened to me is this academy. Access to participants is excellent. All employees are very competent, very professional and very friendly. A person can learn so much that it is indescribably good. I would recommend it to everyone. When I arrived in Austria I was looking for something like this and luckily I found this academy and signed up for the course without hesitation. Everything we get in return is worth 100 times more than what we pay. Indescribable experience, indescribable people, once again and 1000 times I say: Thank you for everything, thank you for this indescribable experience. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU

I was able to learn a lot of new things as part of my training at the Flexyfit Academy and was able to take on a new, demanding challenge with my chosen course. The structure of the training courses is very understandable and clear, so that you can master the distance learning course on your own without any problems. If there were any questions, ambiguities or isolated problems, the Academy team was always quick to help and we could always find a common solution. Here and there I would have liked a little more practical relevance. Nevertheless, I always felt very comfortable, had great speakers and with my degree as a qualified medical sports coach, many new doors are now open to me :)
