You will also learn how to apply appropriate progressions and regressions based on individual needs. The module introduces key programming variables and approaches for both resistance and cardiorespiratory training.

Upon meeting the grading requirements, you will be awarded the FEA Certified Exercise Instructor certificate, equipping you the ability to instruct exercises. This provides a strong starting point in your fitness career and prepares you to take the next step into more detailed coaching and personalised programming.
