GB Fitness training courses continued ...

The courses offered cover a wide range of training protocols as well as assessing techniques and relevant theory - to be applied to any sport or rehabilitation situation. As you will see (www.gbfitness.com) I train athletes from many disciplines so the courses input will reflect this. The courses are held mainly in Birmingham but can be taken to venues around the country depending on demand and they are over weekends with self study in between attendance days.

NABBA GYM INSTRUCTOR COURSES
These courses are designed to fill a void that currently exists in the quality of instructors employed in the fitness industry. Too many training centres are putting the emphasis on fast tracking students and delivering non-practical skills. I have based these courses on practical knowledge that will be applied within the trainer's working day.

They also contain an in depth look at the relevant theory behind issues such as muscle function, assessment procedures and exercise construction.

NOTE: Both the Advanced Instructor and Personal Trainer courses include a 1 year membership with NABBA.
