The theoretical aspects of methods such as intensive/extensive interval training and intensive/extensive continuous training are carried out in practice.

Sensorimotor Training is increasingly valued in physiotherapy, professional sports, as well as fitness and personal training.
What are sensorimotor skills?
The term sensorimotor brings together the concepts "senses" and motor function. The senses relay information from the environment into our processing facilities, our nervous system. Our motor skills are on display when we respond to this stimuli and show our muscular control.
In this course subject you have a look at and put into practice some exercises for strength and coordination using instable surfaces or destabilizing tools or practices (balance boards, gym balls, ropes, sling trainers, coordination tools, etc.).
Our muscles function not only to create movement, but they also provide stability through isometric contraction and thereby maintain balance.

Strength Training is primarily used in practice to increase muscle mass and increase maximal strength. It is the foundation of any sport and a crucial element of physical fitness.
Strength Training with Free Weights is especially widely used in bodybuilding and athletic training, as well as for injury prevention and injury rehabilitation.
Training with free weights differs from training with machines in its integration of the core and stabilizing musculature during every exercise.
It is therefore a more complete and functional way to train the musculature.
In this course subject, with its focus on practical application, participants learn the proper guidelines for dealthing with barbell, dumbbell and, to some extent, cable machine exercises. Several exercises are presented and are carried out by participants, with attention to proper form, common mistakes and useful coaching points. The proper joint-friendly technique is a crucial point in instruction in order to reduce risk of injury.

Functional Training refers to an approach to strength training that incorporates multiple muscle groups, movement patterns that reflect real human movement in the real world and place a high value on core musculature involvement in training exercises.
Multiple muscles are trainined at once, usually with a focus on entire muscle chains, in order to improve coordination between muscle groups alongside strength. Creating more stable and economical movement patterns that use the entire range of motion and strengthen the core are major goals.
Functional Strength Training is especially important because we want our clients and athletes to be able to use acquired strength for everyday movements and activity, or for the complex movement patterns necessary for any sport. This type of training is also appropriate for any age group and has applications in almost every type of sport, leisure activity, rehabilitation and injury prevention.
Some functional training methods utilize balance-challenging techniques and tools, small equipment that requires more core involvement for traditional movements, like medicine balls, sandbags and aquabags, or simply rely on bodyweight exercises.
In this course subject participants will learn about various training tools such as sling/TRX, gymnastics/balance ball, medicine and slam balls, sandbags, heavy/battle ropes and more. Bodyweight exercises are also a foundation of functional training, as certain bodyweight exercises can be used to expose functional weakness in even very "well-trained" athletes, and in order to build these abilities from the ground up. Muscle chains and some exercises which can be used to focus on specific ones are introduced.

With the 3 exercises deadlift, squat and bent(-over) row the musculature of the entire body is challenged and trained. These exercises are indisposable for fitness and personal trainers and deserve a place in just about every training plan!
These exercises are quite demanding in terms of coordination and present the trainee with a lot of opportunites for mistakes. For these reasons we devote an entire session to these three movements and some of their variations. Following this course, participants should be able to demonstrate correct form and correct the common mistakes of beginners.

Training planning is an essential part of the work of a fitness& personal trainer. In order to achieve efficient progress in your clients' training and to achieve long-term success, there are a number of important factors to consider. Regardless of whether the client's personal goal is to improve performance, reduce body fat, learn new, complex exercises or something else.
A few important basic principles are the Weineck training principles. These state, among other things, that a training stimulus must be sufficiently high in order to achieve adaptation, that the load must increase steadily and also specify the correct load sequence as well as sufficient recovery and much more. The individual choice of the five exercise norms is also crucial: intensity, duration, frequency, density and volume. Training planning covers how to adapt these correctly to individual goals and requirements in order to achieve optimum results.
Stichwort Ziele: Auch die richtige Zielfindung der Kundinnen und Kunden hat großen Einfluss auf die Trainingsgestaltung. Trainingslevel, Alter, Regeneration, verfügbare Zeit und viele weitere Faktoren spielen weitere wichtige Rollen. Nur wenn auf die individuellen Bedürfnisse und Ressourcen der Kunden eingegangen wird, kann der Trainingsplan auch in der Praxis erfolgreich umgesetzt werden.
Our graduates learn about the physiological adaptation phenomena of the body's functional systems as a result of different training loads. They also learn about different periodization models and how these are implemented in practice at different performance levels. As a result, our graduates know what is needed for optimal training planning , what obstacles can stand in the way and how individual goals can be set correctly (and of course achieved).
To refresh the content of training planning or to expand your knowledge of training planning in general, we recommend the workshop 1x1 of training planning

You can take your educational leave for a maximum of 1 year within 4 years. There are 3 ways in which you can organize this:
Please note that this is a general summary and it is advisable to check with the relevant bodies or authorities for further details and conditions. Your employers consent is essential for educational leave.
You must submit the training plans issued by us, which must provide for 20 hours per week for full-time educational leave or at least 10 hours per week for part-time educational leave. It is also necessary to provide regular proof of the progress of your training, for example through examinations or attendance certificates.
The areas of responsibility of a fitness trainer are varied and depend, among other things, on where and in which employment relationship - employed or self-employed - you work.
In both cases, the focus is of course on fitness. As an employee in a fitness studio, you could be responsible for training sessions as well as administrative tasks in the administration or instructing new fitness studio members.
As a personal trainer, you check the fitness level of your customers and set goals, create training plans for them and explain strength and endurance equipment as well as fitness exercises. You then accompany your customers on their journey, motivate them and ensure that they achieve their goals.
If you become a group fitness trainer, you will lead group classes for sports such as Pilates, yoga or aerobics. For this, it is advisable to take additional training to deepen your knowledge.
As a fitness trainer in a permanent position, you can expect a starting salary of between €19,000 and €21,900 gross per year. With a few years of professional experience, the salary range then increases to €22,000 to €26,000 per year.
In the case of self-employment, the salary depends on how many clients a trainer has and how the prices are set. Apart from this, there is of course a room rent to pay, unless you focus on home visits and outdoor training.
Fitness trainers often work in gyms with permanent employment or as freelancers. However, fitness trainers are also needed in wellness businesses such as hotels, recreation and leisure facilities, health centers or sports clubs.
Self-employment as a personal trainer is also a popular option, with many possible locations. In addition to own premises, outdoor training, home visits to customers or online fitness platforms are also common. In some gyms, you can also make arrangements to use the premises in return for rent.
It is no longer very easy to set up your own fitness studio due to the competition, which is why many fitness trainers go into areas such as workplace health promotion or sports development, where they advise on the design of fitness studios and sports grounds and halls, for example.
We regularly list job advertisements from fitness studios on our Sportkarriereplatform. There you can apply directly for jobs as a fitness trainer, branch manager, instructor or studio employee.

With the 3 exercises deadlift, squat and bent(-over) row the musculature of the entire body is challenged and trained. These exercises are indisposable for fitness and personal trainers and deserve a place in just about every training plan!
These exercises are quite demanding in terms of coordination and present the trainee with a lot of opportunites for mistakes. For these reasons we devote an entire session to these three movements and some of their variations. Following this course, participants should be able to demonstrate correct form and correct the common mistakes of beginners.

Training planning is an essential part of the work of a fitness& personal trainer. In order to achieve efficient progress in your clients' training and to achieve long-term success, there are a number of important factors to consider. Regardless of whether the client's personal goal is to improve performance, reduce body fat, learn new, complex exercises or something else.
A few important basic principles are the Weineck training principles. These state, among other things, that a training stimulus must be sufficiently high in order to achieve adaptation, that the load must increase steadily and also specify the correct load sequence as well as sufficient recovery and much more. The individual choice of the five exercise norms is also crucial: intensity, duration, frequency, density and volume. Training planning covers how to adapt these correctly to individual goals and requirements in order to achieve optimum results.
Stichwort Ziele: Auch die richtige Zielfindung der Kundinnen und Kunden hat großen Einfluss auf die Trainingsgestaltung. Trainingslevel, Alter, Regeneration, verfügbare Zeit und viele weitere Faktoren spielen weitere wichtige Rollen. Nur wenn auf die individuellen Bedürfnisse und Ressourcen der Kunden eingegangen wird, kann der Trainingsplan auch in der Praxis erfolgreich umgesetzt werden.
Our graduates learn about the physiological adaptation phenomena of the body's functional systems as a result of different training loads. They also learn about different periodization models and how these are implemented in practice at different performance levels. As a result, our graduates know what is needed for optimal training planning , what obstacles can stand in the way and how individual goals can be set correctly (and of course achieved).
To refresh the content of training planning or to expand your knowledge of training planning in general, we recommend the workshop 1x1 of training planning

The areas of responsibility of a fitness trainer are varied and depend, among other things, on where and in which employment relationship - employed or self-employed - you work.
In both cases, the focus is of course on fitness. As an employee in a fitness studio, you could be responsible for training sessions as well as administrative tasks in the administration or instructing new fitness studio members.
As a personal trainer, you check the fitness level of your customers and set goals, create training plans for them and explain strength and endurance equipment as well as fitness exercises. You then accompany your customers on their journey, motivate them and ensure that they achieve their goals.
If you become a group fitness trainer, you will lead group classes for sports such as Pilates, yoga or aerobics. For this, it is advisable to take additional training to deepen your knowledge.
As a fitness trainer in a permanent position, you can expect a starting salary of between €19,000 and €21,900 gross per year. With a few years of professional experience, the salary range then increases to €22,000 to €26,000 per year.
In the case of self-employment, the salary depends on how many clients a trainer has and how the prices are set. Apart from this, there is of course a room rent to pay, unless you focus on home visits and outdoor training.
Fitness trainers often work in gyms with permanent employment or as freelancers. However, fitness trainers are also needed in wellness businesses such as hotels, recreation and leisure facilities, health centers or sports clubs.
Self-employment as a personal trainer is also a popular option, with many possible locations. In addition to own premises, outdoor training, home visits to customers or online fitness platforms are also common. In some gyms, you can also make arrangements to use the premises in return for rent.
It is no longer very easy to set up your own fitness studio due to the competition, which is why many fitness trainers go into areas such as workplace health promotion or sports development, where they advise on the design of fitness studios and sports grounds and halls, for example.
We regularly list job advertisements from fitness studios on our Sportkarriereplatform. There you can apply directly for jobs as a fitness trainer, branch manager, instructor or studio employee.

Great training and super nice people. You can tell how much emphasis is placed on conveying the necessary knowledge to the course participants in an understandable way. I was even kindly allowed to take a course completely free of charge after there were somewhat problematic and disruptive participants in my group. I will 100% take more courses with you in the future because learning is extremely fun, especially thanks to the friendly staff!

The best thing that could have happened to me is this academy. Access to participants is excellent. All employees are very competent, very professional and very friendly. A person can learn so much that it is indescribably good. I would recommend it to everyone. When I arrived in Austria I was looking for something like this and luckily I found this academy and signed up for the course without hesitation. Everything we get in return is worth 100 times more than what we pay. Indescribable experience, indescribable people, once again and 1000 times I say: Thank you for everything, thank you for this indescribable experience. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU

I was able to learn a lot of new things as part of my training at the Flexyfit Academy and was able to take on a new, demanding challenge with my chosen course. The structure of the training courses is very understandable and clear, so that you can master the distance learning course on your own without any problems. If there were any questions, ambiguities or isolated problems, the Academy team was always quick to help and we could always find a common solution. Here and there I would have liked a little more practical relevance. Nevertheless, I always felt very comfortable, had great speakers and with my degree as a qualified medical sports coach, many new doors are now open to me :)
