The Female
Fitness Instructor home study course will give you the knowledge to become a top
professional with female clients! Female and male bodies are not the
same; therefore, why train them the same? This course focuses
on meeting female needs -- whether it be for strength training,
conditioning, bodybuilding, flexibility, or toning. The FFI
helps with self-improvement while training you to help other women
attain a healthy lifestyle through proper exercise and nutrition
knowledge! No female fitness program can be designed accurately
without knowing the female's total physiology and how it affects her
abilities and participation. Completing this course will give
you greater knowledge and more credibility as a fitness
professional! ATTENTION MALES: This certification will give
you greater credibility among your female clients and even in
obtaining a larger female clientele from your understanding of their
specific needs.
