Focus Personal Training Institute

by Meaghan posted March 31, 2011

The 2011 Major League Baseball season starts today, but April 4th is Opening Day at the Focus Personal Training Institute.

I hate to say it, but most personal training education programs are a joke. April Fools Day or not, it’s really nothing to laugh about. In an attempt to raise the bar, we’ve created FPTI: A state-licensed vocational school for aspiring personal trainers with a rigorous 300-hour course curriculum taught by top industry leaders. Even better, we’ve brought on renowned fitness educator Angela Corcoran as Director. As a personal trainer, physiology professor and life-long student herself, Angela’s experience in personal trainer development is second-to-none.

At FPTI, our calendar affords you the option of enrolling in a full-time day or evening program for 11 weeks, or taking part-time weekend classes for 20 weeks. And the curriculum offers the best of both worlds: You’ll learn the science of functional anatomy, physiology and kinesiology (often missing in other personal training education programs) in the classroom…

…and receive training in assessments, program design, stretching, exercise technique and equipment use (which you won’t get in college) on the (brand spankin’ new state-of-the-art!) floor:

You’ll also learn the ABCs of nutrition and psychology necessary to achieve optimal results with clients, and the professional development skills you’ll need to succeed in the ever-growing field of personal training – all in an intimate setting to optimize learning.

If you’ve ever thought about becoming a personal trainer, now’s the time to get started. Come check us out here!
