It’s a flexible and comprehensive system that allows you to create individualized training plans for any client, any time.

Be a Master of Accurate, Effective Client Assessments

Assessing is critical to successfully training a client. By understanding where the issues in their body are, you can then figure out how to properly address underlying problems that could prevent them from reaching their end fitness goals.

Art of Behavior Change

Having a training plan for your client job is great, but knowing how to convince them to stick to it is even better. That’s where behavior change comes in. Within the CPT, you’ll learn the keys to helping people alter behaviors that prevent them from transforming into the ultimate version of themselves.
