About this program
The Certified Personal Trainer program is CoachLab's foundation course. It is built for people entering the fitness industry who want to understand the body before they attempt to train it.
The program is split deliberately between classroom theory and floor practice. You study anatomy, physiology, biomechanics and assessment in the theory sessions, then spend the practical sessions coaching the movement patterns those principles govern.
By the end you should be able to screen a client, read their movement, design a sensible program and coach it with clear, confident instruction.
