A career in fitness comes with a lifelong commitment to learning and improving your knowledge, skills and experience.
In this rapidly changing industry, fitness professionals must stay on top of the latest research, trends and training practices to keep their clients safe, their skills sharp, their services marketable, and their programming innovative and effective.
With all that happened in 2020, it’s understandable if your learning journey hit a bit of a speedbump.
We’re here to offer some suggestions to help you get back on track, so you can reinvigorate your passion and enthusiasm for learning and keep your clients engaged, motivated and eager to move with you.
1. Explore and discover Merrithew’s education options online
The pandemic has accelerated and expanded the number of online education options available to fitness professionals, which is great news for those who live farther away from Training Centers or can’t make it to in-person courses and events, but still want a high-quality and in-depth education from a reputable organization.
Merrithew has launched a number of online workshops through the Toronto Corporate Training Center and our Training Center partners around the world. On our Find Training page, click the ‘delivery method – online’ to filter results. In-person courses/workshops are also still available at some Training Center locations.
Students and instructors have a number of convenient and accessible ways to advance their education and gain their Continuing Education Credits. Choose from dozens of online STOTT PILATES® workshops to expand your repertoire and programming ideas, or try a new mindful movement modality, such as ZEN∙GA®, CORE™ Athletic Conditioning and Performance Training™ and Halo® Training. We’ll be adding more online workshops and courses throughout the year, so stay tuned!
