Female Fitness Instructor Certification

 

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.
