Saturday & Sunday

As many personal trainers are now using boot camps and group exercise classes to better market themselves and gain new clients, this course takes personal training skills from the one-on-one level to a group format. Through a workshop-type format, students will learn how to work effectively with a group with proper cuing, communication and exercises that translate well to a team format. By the end of the course, each student will lead the class through a demo class. The instructor will combine lecture, observation, hands-on work and class interaction.
