In our hectic world, where time is often scarce, many people are looking for ways to train flexibly and open up new professional prospects. Online training as a fitness and movement trainer offers you exactly this flexibility and allows you to prepare optimally for a career in the fitness field.
In this blog you'll learn why online training is the perfect choice for combining your everyday life with your learning progress and how you can benefit from it.
1. Flexibility: learn whenever and wherever you want
The biggest advantage of online training is flexibility. You determine your own learning pace and can complete the modules completely independently of location. Whether you want to learn in the morning before work, during the lunch break or late in the evening – you can access the content at any time.
Learning thus becomes part of your everyday life: listen to the audio scripts on the way to work or watch a learning video while you're on the train. You can make the best use of the time you would otherwise let slip by unused.

2. Learn in the way that suits you best
Everyone learns differently – and that's exactly what online training is tailored to. You get scripts to read, audio files to listen to, interactive learning videos and flashcards to review the material. This way, you can acquire the content in the way that suits you best.
At the end of each module, you can carry out a learning check to make sure you've understood the material. If you pass it, the next module opens – so you work step by step towards your qualification.
3. Module by module to the goal
The training is divided into various modules that cover all the relevant topics:
- Industry knowledge and communication: learn everything about the fitness market and how to communicate effectively with your clients.
- Anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology: understand how the human body works – a fundamental prerequisite for succeeding as a trainer.
- Training theory: learn how to create a structured and effective training programme.
- Motor skills and energetics: find out how the body moves and converts energy, so you can integrate this into your training planning.
Each module is unlocked one after the other, as soon as you've passed it. This way, you can learn at your own pace and acquire the knowledge step by step.

4. Practical learning on two practical days
Even though the theoretical part of the training takes place online, there are two practical days on which you can put what you've learned into practice. These practical days take place once a month at various locations in Switzerland. This way, you can choose the location that suits you best.
On these two days, you connect the theoretical knowledge with practice and get the opportunity to apply what you've learned under professional guidance.
5. Online exams in your familiar environment
After the practical days comes the final exam, which you can take comfortably from home. This means that you can be examined in your familiar surroundings – without additional stress from an unfamiliar environment.
The exams take place once a month and are monitored by secure examination software. During the exam, you're accompanied by video by an examiner, so that everything runs smoothly and safely.
The exam consists of five partial exams, which are based on the modules of the training. So you can study calmly and prepare for each part of the exam.
6. Training that fits your lifestyle
Online training is perfectly tailored to people who can't or don't want to stick to fixed times. Whether you already work, have a family or simply want to learn flexibly – this training adapts to your life.
You can take breaks at any time or go through the learning content again if you need to. You decide when and where you learn, and don't have to adhere to rigid schedules.
7. Career opportunities after the training
With the qualification as a fitness and movement trainer, many professional possibilities open up for you. You can work in fitness studios, wellness centres, hotels or sports clubs. The combination of theoretical knowledge and practical application makes you a sought-after expert in the fitness field.
You can use your knowledge in many ways – whether in the individual support of clients on the training floor.
After the Fitness and movement trainer Basic training, there are further training options, from the Fitness and movement trainer Advanced up to the Specialist in physical activity and health promotion with a federal certificate.
