Mobility is an essential component of ANY exercise program. This is the case whether it is a one on one session or group exercise session. It is paramount to helping your participants move better and minimizing the chances of injury occurring.

Mobility Training will make a Profound difference to your Training and your Business. With a properly designed Mobility program you will decrease the likelihood on injuries occurring among your clients. You will also help them move far more efficiently so they get the most out of your exercises.

A light run and some static stretching is not a warm-up. Rather, you need to be incorporating specific soft tissue release exercises, joint mobilizations for stiff muscles and activation’s for weak muscles. In fact, static stretching is one the things you should avoid in a warm-up!

If a client cannot complete an exercise properly then you are wasting your time telling them proper technique without addressing the root cause. A properly designed Mobility program will do this!

The emphasis of the course is teaching you to not only perform a large array of exercises but more importantly how to coach these exercises. There is a clear process involved with teaching each movement. This includes an explanation of Level 1, 2 and 3 exercises. This enables you to see the range of difficulty each movement has.

We also offer a suspended fitness training course that is specifically aimed at group classes. This means your can incorporate suspension training classes specifically aimed at weight loss, cardio conditioning and strength.

Suspended Fitness Training classes are particularly effective as it easy to modify the exercises to cater for the differences in strength, fitness and coordination. We go into great depth on creating a dynamic environment, warm-up protocols, coaching and cueing and the parameters you need to adjust to create classes aimed at strength, weight loss and muscular endurance.
