FREE Personal Training Course at UREC

I received this message from UREC: 

I wanted to bring an opportunity to your attention that might be of interest to your student population. UREC is holding its’ first ever Personal Trainer Prep Course this spring. This non-credit course is designed to provide applicable knowledge and practical skills in preparation for a national certification in personal training. Topics include guidelines for instructing safe, effective and purposeful exercise, essentials of the personal trainer-client relationship, anatomy, biomechanics, exercise physiology, nutrition, adherence and coaching techniques, as well as all aspects of program design. By the end of this course students should have the knowledge and practical experience necessary to lead a client through a fitness assessment and a training program. Students will be provided exercise/health/fitness information via Canvas, lectures, handouts, and assignments.

The Spring 2018 class will meet on Wednesdays from 4:30-6:30 pm in the Wet Classroom and Fridays from 1-3 pm in the Assessment Center in UREC. There is no charge for the course and students can sign up at: https://urecregister.jmu.edu/Program/GetProgramDetails?courseId=a2f8f645-e561-435b-ad99-cade3befcea3&semesterId=31fda75c-724c-4e85-b69c-868629407d45.

The course begins next week so if you could share as soon as possible, that’d be great! 

Thanks so much for helping us spread the word,
