Why should a Fitness Professional complete a Mobility Course?

A Fitness Professional should complete a Mobility  Course if they plan to do the following

- Use Mobility in their own training
- Use Mobility in their Group Fitness classes
- Use Mobility with their Personal Training clients

Mobility Training isn’t covered in depth during your initial Personal Training Certification and therefore chances are you haven’t been trained in how to use Mobility. This can result in the exercises not being performed properly which leads to less benefit and an increased chance of injury.

Completing a course ensures that you can both perform the exercises correctly yourself AND coach your clients on how to perform the exercises correctly.

Why should a Fitness professional complete a Mobility Course AUSactive recognises? 

AUSactive provides exercise professionals industry best practice, protocols and guidelines to abide by. If a course is recognized by AUSactive – it has gone through a strict accreditation process.
