Introduction to Sensomotoric Training
Sensorimotor Training is increasingly valued in physiotherapy, professional sports, as well as fitness and personal training.
What are sensorimotor skills?
The term sensorimotor brings together the concepts "senses" and motor function. The senses relay information from the environment into our processing facilities, our nervous system. Our motor skills are on display when we respond to this stimuli and show our muscular control.
In this course subject you have a look at and put into practice some exercises for strength and coordination using instable surfaces or destabilizing tools or practices (balance boards, gym balls, ropes, sling trainers, coordination tools, etc.).
Our muscles function not only to create movement, but they also provide stability through isometric contraction and thereby maintain balance.
- DEFINITION OF THE TERM
- Definition and explanation of sensorimotor function, which describes the interaction of sensory and motor functions.
- ANATOMICAL BASICS
- Differentiation between global and local stabilizers and their functions.
- LOCAL STABILIZERS

Strength Training with Free Weights 1
Strength Training is primarily used in practice to increase muscle mass and increase maximal strength. It is the foundation of any sport and a crucial element of physical fitness.
Strength Training with Free Weights is especially widely used in bodybuilding and athletic training, as well as for injury prevention and injury rehabilitation.
Training with free weights differs from training with machines in its integration of the core and stabilizing musculature during every exercise.
It is therefore a more complete and functional way to train the musculature.
In this course subject, with its focus on practical application, participants learn the proper guidelines for dealthing with barbell, dumbbell and, to some extent, cable machine exercises. Several exercises are presented and are carried out by participants, with attention to proper form, common mistakes and useful coaching points. The proper joint-friendly technique is a crucial point in instruction in order to reduce risk of injury.

functional strength exercises
Functional Training refers to an approach to strength training that incorporates multiple muscle groups, movement patterns that reflect real human movement in the real world and place a high value on core musculature involvement in training exercises.
Multiple muscles are trainined at once, usually with a focus on entire muscle chains, in order to improve coordination between muscle groups alongside strength. Creating more stable and economical movement patterns that use the entire range of motion and strengthen the core are major goals.
Functional Strength Training is especially important because we want our clients and athletes to be able to use acquired strength for everyday movements and activity, or for the complex movement patterns necessary for any sport. This type of training is also appropriate for any age group and has applications in almost every type of sport, leisure activity, rehabilitation and injury prevention.
Some functional training methods utilize balance-challenging techniques and tools, small equipment that requires more core involvement for traditional movements, like medicine balls, sandbags and aquabags, or simply rely on bodyweight exercises.
In this course subject participants will learn about various training tools such as sling/TRX, gymnastics/balance ball, medicine and slam balls, sandbags, heavy/battle ropes and more. Bodyweight exercises are also a foundation of functional training, as certain bodyweight exercises can be used to expose functional weakness in even very "well-trained" athletes, and in order to build these abilities from the ground up. Muscle chains and some exercises which can be used to focus on specific ones are introduced.

Foundational Full Body Exercises
With the 3 exercises deadlift, squat and bent(-over) row the musculature of the entire body is challenged and trained. These exercises are indisposable for fitness and personal trainers and deserve a place in just about every training plan!
These exercises are quite demanding in terms of coordination and present the trainee with a lot of opportunites for mistakes. For these reasons we devote an entire session to these three movements and some of their variations. Following this course, participants should be able to demonstrate correct form and correct the common mistakes of beginners.

fitness & Training Plans
Training planning is an essential part of the work of a fitness& personal trainer. In order to achieve efficient progress in your clients' training and to achieve long-term success, there are a number of important factors to consider. Regardless of whether the client's personal goal is to improve performance, reduce body fat, learn new, complex exercises or something else.
A few important basic principles are the Weineck training principles. These state, among other things, that a training stimulus must be sufficiently high in order to achieve adaptation, that the load must increase steadily and also specify the correct load sequence as well as sufficient recovery and much more. The individual choice of the five exercise norms is also crucial: intensity, duration, frequency, density and volume. Training planning covers how to adapt these correctly to individual goals and requirements in order to achieve optimum results.
Stichwort Ziele: Auch die richtige Zielfindung der Kundinnen und Kunden hat großen Einfluss auf die Trainingsgestaltung. Trainingslevel, Alter, Regeneration, verfügbare Zeit und viele weitere Faktoren spielen weitere wichtige Rollen. Nur wenn auf die individuellen Bedürfnisse und Ressourcen der Kunden eingegangen wird, kann der Trainingsplan auch in der Praxis erfolgreich umgesetzt werden.
Our graduates learn about the physiological adaptation phenomena of the body's functional systems as a result of different training loads. They also learn about different periodization models and how these are implemented in practice at different performance levels. As a result, our graduates know what is needed for optimal training planning , what obstacles can stand in the way and how individual goals can be set correctly (and of course achieved).
To refresh the content of training planning or to expand your knowledge of training planning in general, we recommend the workshop 1x1 of training planning

Introduction to Sensomotoric Training
Sensorimotor Training is increasingly valued in physiotherapy, professional sports, as well as fitness and personal training.
What are sensorimotor skills?
The term sensorimotor brings together the concepts "senses" and motor function. The senses relay information from the environment into our processing facilities, our nervous system. Our motor skills are on display when we respond to this stimuli and show our muscular control.
In this course subject you have a look at and put into practice some exercises for strength and coordination using instable surfaces or destabilizing tools or practices (balance boards, gym balls, ropes, sling trainers, coordination tools, etc.).
Our muscles function not only to create movement, but they also provide stability through isometric contraction and thereby maintain balance.
- DEFINITION OF THE TERM
- Definition and explanation of sensorimotor function, which describes the interaction of sensory and motor functions.
- ANATOMICAL BASICS
- Differentiation between global and local stabilizers and their functions.

Strength Training with Free Weights 1
Strength Training is primarily used in practice to increase muscle mass and increase maximal strength. It is the foundation of any sport and a crucial element of physical fitness.
Strength Training with Free Weights is especially widely used in bodybuilding and athletic training, as well as for injury prevention and injury rehabilitation.
Training with free weights differs from training with machines in its integration of the core and stabilizing musculature during every exercise.
It is therefore a more complete and functional way to train the musculature.
In this course subject, with its focus on practical application, participants learn the proper guidelines for dealthing with barbell, dumbbell and, to some extent, cable machine exercises. Several exercises are presented and are carried out by participants, with attention to proper form, common mistakes and useful coaching points. The proper joint-friendly technique is a crucial point in instruction in order to reduce risk of injury.

functional strength exercises
Functional Training refers to an approach to strength training that incorporates multiple muscle groups, movement patterns that reflect real human movement in the real world and place a high value on core musculature involvement in training exercises.
Multiple muscles are trainined at once, usually with a focus on entire muscle chains, in order to improve coordination between muscle groups alongside strength. Creating more stable and economical movement patterns that use the entire range of motion and strengthen the core are major goals.
Functional Strength Training is especially important because we want our clients and athletes to be able to use acquired strength for everyday movements and activity, or for the complex movement patterns necessary for any sport. This type of training is also appropriate for any age group and has applications in almost every type of sport, leisure activity, rehabilitation and injury prevention.
Some functional training methods utilize balance-challenging techniques and tools, small equipment that requires more core involvement for traditional movements, like medicine balls, sandbags and aquabags, or simply rely on bodyweight exercises.
In this course subject participants will learn about various training tools such as sling/TRX, gymnastics/balance ball, medicine and slam balls, sandbags, heavy/battle ropes and more. Bodyweight exercises are also a foundation of functional training, as certain bodyweight exercises can be used to expose functional weakness in even very "well-trained" athletes, and in order to build these abilities from the ground up. Muscle chains and some exercises which can be used to focus on specific ones are introduced.

Foundational Full Body Exercises
With the 3 exercises deadlift, squat and bent(-over) row the musculature of the entire body is challenged and trained. These exercises are indisposable for fitness and personal trainers and deserve a place in just about every training plan!
These exercises are quite demanding in terms of coordination and present the trainee with a lot of opportunites for mistakes. For these reasons we devote an entire session to these three movements and some of their variations. Following this course, participants should be able to demonstrate correct form and correct the common mistakes of beginners.

fitness & Training Plans
Training planning is an essential part of the work of a fitness& personal trainer. In order to achieve efficient progress in your clients' training and to achieve long-term success, there are a number of important factors to consider. Regardless of whether the client's personal goal is to improve performance, reduce body fat, learn new, complex exercises or something else.
A few important basic principles are the Weineck training principles. These state, among other things, that a training stimulus must be sufficiently high in order to achieve adaptation, that the load must increase steadily and also specify the correct load sequence as well as sufficient recovery and much more. The individual choice of the five exercise norms is also crucial: intensity, duration, frequency, density and volume. Training planning covers how to adapt these correctly to individual goals and requirements in order to achieve optimum results.
Stichwort Ziele: Auch die richtige Zielfindung der Kundinnen und Kunden hat großen Einfluss auf die Trainingsgestaltung. Trainingslevel, Alter, Regeneration, verfügbare Zeit und viele weitere Faktoren spielen weitere wichtige Rollen. Nur wenn auf die individuellen Bedürfnisse und Ressourcen der Kunden eingegangen wird, kann der Trainingsplan auch in der Praxis erfolgreich umgesetzt werden.
Our graduates learn about the physiological adaptation phenomena of the body's functional systems as a result of different training loads. They also learn about different periodization models and how these are implemented in practice at different performance levels. As a result, our graduates know what is needed for optimal training planning , what obstacles can stand in the way and how individual goals can be set correctly (and of course achieved).
To refresh the content of training planning or to expand your knowledge of training planning in general, we recommend the workshop 1x1 of training planning

However, we would like to point out that the respective funding body is solely responsible for deciding on the allocation or amount of funding.
We will be happy to help you find a suitable funding body and compile all the course information you need for a funding application. You must submit the application itself to the funding body.
You can find an overview of the most important funding bodies here.
How does the funding work?
Depending on the funding institution, the training costs are either paid directly after the funding application has been confirmed (e.g. AMS) or reimbursed in full or in part after successful completion of the training (e.g. waff). Please contact the funding institutions yourself to find out how the funding works.
Can I take educational leave for the course?
Yes, the majority of our courses are suitable for educational leave.
If you want to continue your education without terminating your employment, you can arrange educational leave with your employer. This means you will be released from work for the duration of your training.
Plan your educational leave with us now! We will be happy to clarify your individual training requirements with you in a personal, non-binding consultation.
How does educational leave work?
You can take your educational leave for a maximum of 1 year within 4 years - there are 3 options:
- Educational leave spread over 12 months
- Educational leave split up, but each part must last at least 2 months. The parts must be taken within 4 years.
- Educational leave with part-time educational leave spread over 2 years
It is important that your employer agrees to you taking educational leave. You must provide evidence of the training plans issued by us to the extent of 20 hours per week in the case of full-time educational leave, or at least 10 hours in the case of part-time educational leave.
You must regularly provide evidence of the progress of your training. For example, in the form of examinations or confirmation of attendance, which you will receive from us.

Sportkompetenz + Fitnesstrainer B-Lizenz sind ein sehr umfangreicher Kurs, in dem jede Menge Wissen vermittelt wird, welches dem aktuellen wissenschaftlichen Stand entspricht. Man bekommt einen Gegenwert für sein Geld. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf dem Maschinentraining. Neben bekannten Übungen, werden auch interessante Spezialübungen gezeigt. Was ich etwas vermisst habe sind klassische Hantelübungen (z.B. Kurzhantelüberzüge, Kreuzhebevarianten, Kniebeugen, Bankdrücken, Stirndrücken, SZ-Bizepscurls,... usw.), welche meiner Meinung nach insbesondere für Anfänger etwas besser geeignet sind als einige der gezeigten Kabelzugübungen. Was leider ebenfalls zu kurz kommt, sind Übungen für die Bauchmuskulatur. Hier bitte nachbessern.
Auf Nachrichten wird sehr schnell reagiert. Für das Fachgespräch habe ich innerhalb von 24 Stunden einen Termin bekommen. Ich werde auf jeden Fall weitere Kurse machen. Alles in allem kann ich den Kurs sehr empfehlen.

Great training and super nice people. You can tell how much emphasis is placed on conveying the necessary knowledge to the course participants in an understandable way. I was even kindly allowed to take a course completely free of charge after there were somewhat problematic and disruptive participants in my group. I will 100% take more courses with you in the future because learning is extremely fun, especially thanks to the friendly staff!

The best thing that could have happened to me is this academy. Access to participants is excellent. All employees are very competent, very professional and very friendly. A person can learn so much that it is indescribably good. I would recommend it to everyone. When I arrived in Austria I was looking for something like this and luckily I found this academy and signed up for the course without hesitation. Everything we get in return is worth 100 times more than what we pay. Indescribable experience, indescribable people, once again and 1000 times I say: Thank you for everything, thank you for this indescribable experience. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU

I was able to learn a lot of new things as part of my training at the Flexyfit Academy and was able to take on a new, demanding challenge with my chosen course. The structure of the training courses is very understandable and clear, so that you can master the distance learning course on your own without any problems. If there were any questions, ambiguities or isolated problems, the Academy team was always quick to help and we could always find a common solution. Here and there I would have liked a little more practical relevance. Nevertheless, I always felt very comfortable, had great speakers and with my degree as a qualified medical sports coach, many new doors are now open to me :)
