Our current cohort of Level 3 Personal Training students have just completed their practical workshops… here’s an overview of what they will be doing next to qualify as a CIMSPA recognised Personal Trainer.
After our students have learnt an array of different skills, including:
• Instructing gym-based exercise
• Delivering specific warm ups and cool downs
• Programming gym programmes and personal training sessions
• Instructing advanced training methods - such as tri-sets, eccentric training, circuits and more
• How to use Kettlebells, TRX and Focus Pads
• and much more…
They can now apply these skills practically to a case study client, before qualifying and applying these exact same skills to their paying clients.
Our assessment structure matches the exact same process that our clients will use with all of their future clients. Ensuring our students enter the industry knowledgable and confident.
As a personal trainer, one of the conversations that you will have with most of your clients will be - ‘Are you stretching enough?’… and a lot of the time they won’t be.
And to be honest, I am sure that a lot of you reading this could probably say ‘I am not stretching enough’.
And to be really honest here… ‘I don’t stretch enough!!’
We teach about ‘Total Fitness’ on our Level 3 Personal Training course. Ensuring that you we educate ourselves, and as a Personal Trainer - our clients, to cover all basis when training. Total Fitness should consist of strength training, cardiovascular training, muscular endurance, motor skills, and flexibility.
It is the flexibility element that really falls way short for most individuals - which is crazy as it is one of the most simplest to implement.
You can do it at home, using little or no equipment, and it’s the less intense.
Yet it is still the forgotten factor in an individuals weekly training.
As with a lot of our content, we don’t want to just highlight an issue, we want to give advice and actions that can be taken if you or your clients need to stretch more.
ACTION 1 - Design a stretch routine that takes into account training goal, muscle imbalances and specific needs.
ACTION 2 - Perform your newly designed stretch routine… today, not put it off till tomorrow.
ACTION 3 - Repeat, and be consistent.
Stretching can be, and should be, performed daily.
Perform a series of stretches, foam rolling and mobility movements every single day and you will be on the right course to correct imbalances (over time), eliminate tight muscles and pained movement, and create better posture, pain-free movement and a greater range of movement.
Need some inspiration?

Best beer ever!!
Last weekend we ran The Grizzly in Devon… 20 miles of hills, bogs and beaches.
It was such a good race, although incredibly challenging at times, and the support (and drums) throughout was amazing!
The great thing for this event was that it gave us that motivation to dust off the running shoes and start putting in the miles again.
Having that goal and a date in the diary meant that we had to go out and start doing a long run each week, a shorter tempo run, and work on fitness, strength and movement in general.
The last few miles of The Grizzly sapped any energy left in the legs, with a mile or so on beach followed by the Stairway to Heaven!! But it made this beer at the end taste so much sweeter!!
Better find another goal now to ensure that there is always something next up to aim for… and definitely entering this event again next year!!
