About Principles of Program Design
Better Programs. Better Results.
The Principles of Program Design course was designed to help you develop systems
to ensure the training programs you use with your clients are
effective, efficient, safe, scalable and repeatable.
You'll come away from this course with systems (including specific checklists) to help you succeed in this industry by helping your clients reach their health, fitness and performance goals.
We've developed systems to help you get started with clients, collect appropriate data, communicate effectively, make intelligent exercise decisions when designing programs and keep your clients coming back for more.
