The optimal design of training sessions

A good training session does not come out of a collection of good exercises but out of planning that knows what it wants to achieve. This workshop takes you from the basics of training planning and training control through the training principles to concrete short, medium and long-term planning in the fitness centre, including the two tools with which the process begins in practice: the trial session and the health questionnaire.

What you learn

• The basics of training planning and training control
• The components of fitness and the central terms explained
• The parameters of training control and how you put them to use
• The general training principles
• Adaptation to training: what the body reacts to
• The basics of planning individual training sessions
• Training control in depth as well as short and long-term training planning in the fitness centre
• Interactive learning videos on the basics and on long, medium and short-term planning
• Interactive learning videos on the trial session and on the health questionnaire

Who the workshop suits

The workshop suits fitness trainers and personal trainers who write training plans and want to give a sound reason why a plan looks the way it does. It also fits if you run trial sessions on the floor and would like to give the start with new clients more structure, from the health questionnaire through to the first session.

How the workshop runs

After you register you receive the login details for the learning platform. There you will find the manual on training theory and planning, the audio files for every chapter and four interactive learning videos: on the basics, on long, medium and short-term training planning, on the trial session and on the health questionnaire. The workshop is free of fixed times and places, and you learn online at your own pace.

If you have questions you can reach us by email to info@update-akademie.ch or in an online consultation session. The workshop is rounded off with the assessment in the specially developed examination tool. You can sit it whenever you like. Taking content one to one from AI output or internet sources leads to a fail. The correction is done by hand by an expert, the feedback normally comes within seven working days, and your workshop confirmation follows after that.

Where things go from here

The content stays open to you after you finish and works well as a reference while you are planning. Fitting alongside it, Biomechanics and strength machines goes deeper into exercises and equipment, and How posture and physical performance are connected adds the analysis and diagnostics side. The whole series is under Fitness workshops, and the Fitness and Movement Trainer Basic joins training theory, anatomy and practice into one complete qualification.
