What You'll learn
Your one-day course is divided into four practical workshops, taking you from the foundations of suspension training through to confident coaching and using suspension training within your fitness business.
Learn the foundations of safe and effective suspension training, including equipment set-up, positioning, body angles and exercise technique. You’ll learn how to adjust exercises to change the level of challenge and coach lower-body movements including squats, lunges, isolation and cardiovascular exercises.
Develop your coaching cues, tone of voice, teaching position and observation skills while learning and practising key upper-body exercises including chest presses, rows and shoulder presses, with variations and adaptations.
Learn how to plan 1-to-1 and group-based suspension training sessions, understanding the key variables that make programming simple and effective. You’ll also develop your coaching of arm exercises, cardiovascular training and group-based suspension exercises.
Bring everything together with core stability, core strength and exercise variations, before exploring how to introduce suspension training into your business through packages, classes and pricing.
There’s no stressful final practical exam. Your skills are assessed formatively throughout the day as you learn, practise and coach in 1-to-1 and small-group settings.
You’ll receive guidance and feedback as you go, helping you leave the course confident, competent and ready to use suspension training with your clients.
Your 1-Day Practical Training
Your face-to-face training takes place at our Milton Keynes Academy, from 9:00am–4:30pm.
Across the day, you’ll take part in four practical workshops, giving you plenty of time to learn, practise and develop your suspension training coaching skills.
Around 80–90% of the day is practical. You’ll learn and practise key suspension training exercises, develop your coaching cues and instruction skills, and put everything into practice with 1-to-1 and small-group coaching.
And you don’t need to be super-fit to take part.
This isn’t a test of your fitness. It’s about learning how to coach suspension training effectively.
You’ll be supported throughout the day by your tutor, with plenty of opportunities to practise, ask questions, receive feedback and build your confidence.
By the end of the day, you’ll have learned, practised and coached a range of suspension training exercises, giving you the practical skills and confidence to introduce suspension training into your own client sessions.
How you'll be assessed
There’s no stressful final practical assessment on this one-day CPD course.
Instead, your assessment is ongoing throughout the day, as you coach individuals and small groups during each practical workshop.
You’ll also complete a Suspension Instructor Worksheet, helping you consolidate your learning and demonstrate your understanding of key coaching principles and session planning.
Our Show. Practice. Assess. approach means you learn a skill, practise it with guidance, receive feedback and then demonstrate your understanding as you progress.
This creates a more relaxed and effective learning experience, helping you build confidence, retain what you’ve learned and leave ready to use your suspension coaching skills with clients.
