ISA Communication for Fitness Professionals Course

Course Duration
Course Overview
This course equips fitness professionals with the appropriate skills required to be effective communicators in the fitness industry, whether as personal trainers, coaches, or online instructors. As leaders in fitness, possessing knowledge is the first step; delivering that knowledge to nurture future leaders requires competent communication skills. This course aims to accomplish that.
Participants will begin by exploring various techniques to build self-confidence and to fine-tune their current speaking and coaching skills. They will learn to adapt to the forms of communication required for the different aspects of the fitness industry, and learning how to connect with clients/customers/participants through their words and actions.
Participants will be given opportunities for case studies and role play where guidance and feedback is given from the instructors. They will conclude by having a engaging hands-on assessment to demonstrate proficient communication that is both client-centric and goal-specific.
