Certified Fitness Trainer (CFT) If you enjoy staying in shape and helping others, there has never been a better time to become a Certified Fitness Trainer (CFT). |
Specialist in Performance Nutrition (SPN) We've all heard that "You are what you eat." But this tired axiom only tells part of the story. It's also critical to consider HOW you eat, meal frequency, macronutrient ratios, specificity to athletic objectives, and periodizing caloric intake. The government says that the RDA's are the answer. We agree, if mere survival is your objective. But if PERFORMANCE is your goal (or your client's), the RDA's won't cut it. Neither will the 4 food groups. Neither will eating 3 squares a day |
Specialist in Fitness for Older Adults By the year 2030, the number of Americans over the age of 65 will grow to over 63 million. This group now constitutes the fastest growing segment of our population. We live in a time that is incredibly exciting for these individuals. At present, medical knowledge is doubling every three years. Research on anti-aging has brought about a profound understanding of the aging process that, for the first time, gives us a choice as to how we age. Expanded knowledge of nutrition, hormone replacement therapy, and environmental hazards has given us a means to retard and actually reverse the negative effects of aging. At the core of virtually every approach to extending the quality and length of life, is exercise. |

Professional and amateur athletes at all levels-from grade-school club teams to the National Football League - need the assistance of expert personal trainers to make them excel at their sports.

ISSA's Endurance Fitness Trainer (EFT) certification course addresses all aspects of personalized aerobic conditioning. |
Specialist In Martial Arts Conditioning Back in the "old days", promotion to black belt was all that was needed in terms of securing credibility in the martial arts profession. Needless to say, that's all changed now. Six year old children are now awarded black belts in dojos across the United States. Since no national governing body exists to regulate standards for ranking, each studio and organization creates its own standards. Unfortunately, standards for training are just as inconsistent as standards for ranking. |

Interest in aquatic exercise has grown from obscurity to millions of participants in just the past few years. One of the reasons for the start of this trend is the aging of our population. Water is seen as a more gentle medium for seniors and physical therapy patients alike. But aquatic fitness has proven to have uses for elite athletes and fitness enthusiasts of all ages. |
