This course provides students the opportunity to develop the required knowledge and the technical, physical, and professional skill sets of a personal trainer. The curriculum includes practical exercise knowledge that will support the safe delivery of basic exercise prescriptions and effectively lead personal training sessions for individuals of differing fitness levels, abilities, and experiences. Physical literacy will also be developed through in-class activities and drills that support the development of techniques and training queues. Students who are successful in completing the course can pursue, at an additional personal cost, certification through the American Council on Exercise (ACE) Personal Training Exam.

This course is ideal for students interested in learning more about leading inclusive physical activity and ways to engage with community members in a physically active lifestyle.
