Spine trainers make their customers fit for the challenges of everyday life

The human body is a marvel of evolution. However, some people are unaware of how susceptible our spine is to injury. It is not without reason that back pain is one of the most widespread health problems of our time.

Incorrect physical strain, sitting for too long, poor posture and unergonomic working put a strain on our backs. This restricts flexibility and stability, which can lead to muscular imbalances and back pain.

As a spine trainer, you will learn about the various causes of back problems and which functional exercises you can use to stabilize the spine. With this knowledge, you can help your clients to prevent problems with the spine and avoid long-term consequences with personal training sessions specially tailored to spinal training.

If you would like to expand your knowledge in the areas of relaxation and nutrition, then the higher training course to become a certified vitality and health trainer is a good option. In addition to the spine trainer module, this course also includes the nutrition trainer and relaxation trainer courses with all their cutting-edge, instructive content.

Certified spine trainer - fighting causes instead of symptoms

A beautiful, healthy back can also be delightful

Once back pain, tension, humps or scoliosis are present, it is not easy to get them under control again. Spine training therefore ranges from analysis and prevention to improving mobility and strength and training units for complaints. In short, the all-round package for a healthy spine and a healthy back!

With this knowledge, you can offer back training sessions on a salaried or freelance basis and create individual training plans for your customers. You can also support health practices, spa and rehabilitation facilities as well as sports and wellness hotels.

What can you expect from our training?

In the basic module, we will first deal with anatomical, physiological and training science basics . Nutrition-specific topics, professional knowledge and first aid for sports injuries also play an important role in our training program.

Leg Axis Stability
In the leg axis stability unit, participants learn about weaknesses/ imbalances/ malpositions in the leg axis and their effects on the spine. In particular, the anatomy of the knee joint and the ankle joint including the arch of the foot are discussed in detail.
In addition, different malpositions of the leg axis are illustrated and shown how, for example, a flat foot (pes planus) could be a possible cause of complaints in the lumbar spine. In addition to the theory, a test to determine leg axis and ankle joint stability will be performed to reveal possible deficits.
In addition, practical examples will be shown of how to train correctly in the case of leg axis problems in order to strengthen the leg muscles, stabilize the leg axis and optimally combat the incorrect postures altogether.

Functional movement analysis of the musculoskeletal system
Every chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Due to dysfunctions, asymmetries, and restrictions in the range of motion, many individuals experience discomfort in both the passive and/or active musculoskeletal system, increasing the risk of injury or premature wear and tear. In the Functional Movement Analysis unit, participants learn why daily routines, poor training, or prior injuries affect mobility, stability, and connective tissue, leading to dysfunctional movement patterns. Through the Functional Movement Screen (FMS), participants become acquainted with a tool that allows a trainer to identify existing deficits, correct them, and help clients avoid injuries and overloads in the long term. The Functional Movement Screen encompasses fundamental movement patterns, motor control within movement patterns, and the execution of basic, non-sport-specific movements. With this movement test, mobility and stability in the ankle, knee, hip, shoulder joints, and spine, as well as neuromuscular control, can be assessed. The FMS includes 7 fundamental movement patterns, enabling the detection of weaknesses, imbalances, asymmetries, and limitations. In the practical part, the FMS is performed and evaluated by each participant, uncovering possible deficits and allowing participants to refine their observational skills through mutual assessment. Finally, based on the test results, it is essential to recognize weaknesses, identify corrective patterns, and integrate them into a targeted training cycle.

Equipment-supported strength training, especially core muscles

Equipment-assisted strength training offers a targeted, safe and effective way to strengthen the musculoskeletal system - especially the core muscles. It is ideal for beginners, rehab patients and advanced users, as equipment guides the movement and thus enables a controlled load.

Especially in the area of spinal health, the training can help to compensate for muscular imbalances, improve posture and prevent back pain. Individually adjustable weights and guided movement sequences allow the training to be optimally adapted to the needs of the user - from prevention to performance enhancement. The aim is to build functional strength that provides stability, resilience and a new body awareness in everyday life and sport.

Basics on the Topic "Strong Back - Back Pain"
The unit "Basics on the Topic of Strong Back" provides the theoretical foundation for the Diploma Spine Trainer. Initially, we gain an overview of the prevalence of back pain and the socioeconomic implications it entails. Subsequently, the genesis of pain at the neurophysiological level is elucidated, along with the specific stressors that can contribute to back pain. Various intervention possibilities are examined and evaluated for their treatment and cost-effectiveness.
To comprehend the genesis of back pain and implement appropriate treatment measures, an understanding of the spines anatomy is indispensable. This involves a closer examination of the spines peculiarities, the structure of intervertebral discs, the securing ligaments, and the interaction of the trunk muscles.
Following this, specific pathologies are explored in detail, elucidating various medical conditions with explanations and MRI images. Lastly, health models are introduced to aid in understanding factors that may deter or motivate individuals to reconsider their health behaviors. The brief practical segment introduces and demonstrates self-help measures for managing pain.

Body awareness and experience
The body awareness and body experience unit is intended to show why it is important as a trainer to also deal with psychological aspects in order to be able to act more competently.
This part of the training focuses in particular on perception. Different aspects of perception are considered, various systems are introduced and technical terms are introduced.

The aim is to improve body awareness as part of back training.

You will also deal with the perception and experience of your own body. You will learn methods and content and receive important tips before practicing what you have learned using practical examples. These examples deal with the movement possibilities of the spine, the perception of different breathing spaces, stability and much more.
Each practical exercise is accompanied by instructions on how to carry it out, the aims of the exercise and practical tips. Experiencing the joy of movement is also covered as part of the unit.

Conception and implementation of a back lesson
In addition to the necessary training skills, there are also a lot of organizational hurdles to overcome before planning and running a back exercise class. The aim of the unit is to confront the participants with topics such as target group definition, course duration, group size, space, equipment or costs through to didactic and methodological aspects of course design. Only when these fundamental considerations have been settled can the focus be placed on the training units.

Planning a back training session involves a whole host of aspects that need to be taken into account. First of all, a clear goal must be defined. From this, the session is divided into its individual parts: warm-up, main part and cool-down. If necessary, time must also be planned for the welcome, exercise explanation and reflection. Only when the rough structure is in place are the exercises selected and assigned to the respective blocks. Only then does the training science aspect of the unit follow, consisting of determining the duration, intensity, density and scope of the exercises. Of course, all of this must be tailored to the goal and participants of the training unit.

After working out the content together, the participants first have the task of creating a concept for organizing the course and then planning training units for different target groups and symptoms. Finally, the units planned by the participants are presented and carried out so that initial experience in instructing and correcting can be gained.

Sensorimotor Training
The human body is a complex system of muscles, tendons, joints and bones that is constantly in motion.

Every movement initiates a reaction that affects other areas of the body. Sensorimotor training is a method that trains exactly such reaction chains in the body. Through specific training of the senses (such as the sense of balance, touch, sight and hearing) and motor skills (muscle strength, coordination, mobility), the interaction of body and mind is improved.

Sensorimotor regulation is the ability of the brain to control motor function and perception. Sensorimotor training originates from the field of physiotherapy. It aims to train sensorimotor regulation and is used, for example, after a stroke. However, it can also be used in competitive sports and fitness to improve motor skills.

In this subject, sensorimotor skills are developed to be used in the fitness instructor training. Practical strengthening exercises are performed using unstable surfaces such as balance boards/foams, gymnastic balls, ropes and slings.

Training on unstable surfaces, such as the one of the BOSU Ball, trains the proprioception, i.e. the perception of the own body and its movements. Any such exercise is a challenge for balance, coordination and strength and is therefore particularly effective.

Fall prevention

According to the definition, a fall (Sturz) refers to a sudden, uncontrolled, unintentional descent of the body from lying, sitting, or standing to a lower level. Unfortunately, both the frequency and consequences of falls increase with age. Falls in older adults are by far the most common cause of injuries and the leading cause of accident-related deaths. The reasons for this are varied, ranging from declining sensory organs to coordination impairments and muscular deficits.

In the unit on fall prevention, the causes of increasing fall risk are thoroughly explained, and measures are presented to help reduce the risk of falls and positively influence gait, posture, coordination, and strength. Targeted training is particularly important for seniors, as it helps maintain autonomy and subsequently, quality of life. Participants also learn about tests for assessing fall risk and the methodical development of different training focuses in fall prevention.

Improving the strength of the trunk
The strength of the core is crucial for a healthy posture, a stable spine and effective movement. The core, which consists of the abdominal, back and part of the gluteal muscles as well as the lateral abdominal muscles, forms the center of the body and serves as the basis for all movements. Low muscle mass and a lack of strength in the core muscles are one of the main causes of back problems. Well-developed core muscles are therefore of great importance both in everyday life and in sport.
The long-term goal must therefore be to strengthen the muscles, especially the abdominal, back and leg muscles. Targeted, strengthening exercises can be implemented as early as possible on the basis of improved body awareness.

In this unit, a test to determine core strength is presented and practiced. Based on the test results, different exercises with variations are shown and how these can be methodically incorporated into a long-term training process. Correct execution, the most important coaching points and common sources of error are also discussed. In addition to the correct selection and intensity of exercises, the regularity of training is also important.

Another focus is on improving the strength endurance of the trunk. In particular, Nordic walking is introduced and the positive effects on back health are explained. The advantages of Nordic walking are obvious: not only is the strength endurance of the trunk trained, but general well-being is also increased and basic fitness is promoted - all with the least possible strain on joints, tendons and ligaments. In order to really achieve the positive effects, the correct Nordic walking technique and how to teach it to future customers is taught.

  • IMPROVING STRENGTH

Improvement of trunk mobility
Sufficient mobility is the basis for moving freely and unhindered and also forms the foundation for functional strength.
In the unit on improving trunk mobility, participants learn about different methods for improving mobility and how these can be combined and applied for the benefit of the client. Our body must be seen as a three-dimensional system in which everything is connected to everything else. This means that far more factors than just the ability to stretch the muscles are decisive for mobility and that, for example, body awareness and overall sensorimotor skills also play a major role in the quality of movement.
In the practical part, various static and dynamic stretching methods, and mobilization exercises for the spine are presented and carried out. Every movement is difficult, especially in cases of acute pain and tension.
Here in particular, targeted mobilization exercises can provide initial relief and noticeably improve well-being. The main focus is on the correct approach and sensible application of the various methods to improve mobility.
Overall, the course participants receive a package on how they can use the various measures to improve their range of motion and quality of movement and incorporate them into their movement patterns in the long term.

  • IMPROVEMENT OF TRUNK MOBILITY
    • Mobility model
    • External factors that influence mobility
    • Maximum range of motion (ROM) and stretching ability
    • Stretching - techniques and methods

Career afterwards - how to continue after training

What does a spine trainer do?

Spine trainers help their clients to strengthen their musculoskeletal system in individual or group sessions. Low muscle mass and strength in the core muscles are a major cause of back problems. The long-term goal must therefore be to strengthen the muscles, especially the abdominal and back muscles.

Using static and dynamic stretching methods, fascia training and mobilization exercises for the spine, trainers also help their clients to improve their core mobility.

Another task of the spine trainer is relationship prevention. To this end, workplace-related risk factors for back pain are examined and how these can be reduced through technical (furniture, climate, etc.), administrative and personnel interventions. In addition, the most common complaints (from shoulder-arm syndrome to carpal tunnel syndrome) at or caused by the workplace are addressed and how these can be avoided through behavioral prevention.

Where do I work as a spine trainer?

You can offer back training sessions on a salaried or freelance basis and create individual training plans for your clients. You can also support health practices, spa and rehabilitation facilities as well as sports and wellness hotels.

How can Flexyfit help me find a job?

We regularly list job advertisements from fitness studios on our Sportkarriere platform. There you can apply directly for jobs as a fitness trainer, branch manager, instructor or studio employee.

Leg Axis Stability
In the leg axis stability unit, participants learn about weaknesses/ imbalances/ malpositions in the leg axis and their effects on the spine. In particular, the anatomy of the knee joint and the ankle joint including the arch of the foot are discussed in detail.
In addition, different malpositions of the leg axis are illustrated and shown how, for example, a flat foot (pes planus) could be a possible cause of complaints in the lumbar spine. In addition to the theory, a test to determine leg axis and ankle joint stability will be performed to reveal possible deficits.
In addition, practical examples will be shown of how to train correctly in the case of leg axis problems in order to strengthen the leg muscles, stabilize the leg axis and optimally combat the incorrect postures altogether.

Functional movement analysis of the musculoskeletal system
Every chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Due to dysfunctions, asymmetries, and restrictions in the range of motion, many individuals experience discomfort in both the passive and/or active musculoskeletal system, increasing the risk of injury or premature wear and tear. In the Functional Movement Analysis unit, participants learn why daily routines, poor training, or prior injuries affect mobility, stability, and connective tissue, leading to dysfunctional movement patterns. Through the Functional Movement Screen (FMS), participants become acquainted with a tool that allows a trainer to identify existing deficits, correct them, and help clients avoid injuries and overloads in the long term. The Functional Movement Screen encompasses fundamental movement patterns, motor control within movement patterns, and the execution of basic, non-sport-specific movements. With this movement test, mobility and stability in the ankle, knee, hip, shoulder joints, and spine, as well as neuromuscular control, can be assessed. The FMS includes 7 fundamental movement patterns, enabling the detection of weaknesses, imbalances, asymmetries, and limitations. In the practical part, the FMS is performed and evaluated by each participant, uncovering possible deficits and allowing participants to refine their observational skills through mutual assessment. Finally, based on the test results, it is essential to recognize weaknesses, identify corrective patterns, and integrate them into a targeted training cycle.

Equipment-supported strength training, especially core muscles

Equipment-assisted strength training offers a targeted, safe and effective way to strengthen the musculoskeletal system - especially the core muscles. It is ideal for beginners, rehab patients and advanced users, as equipment guides the movement and thus enables a controlled load.

Especially in the area of spinal health, the training can help to compensate for muscular imbalances, improve posture and prevent back pain. Individually adjustable weights and guided movement sequences allow the training to be optimally adapted to the needs of the user - from prevention to performance enhancement. The aim is to build functional strength that provides stability, resilience and a new body awareness in everyday life and sport.

Basics on the Topic "Strong Back - Back Pain"
The unit "Basics on the Topic of Strong Back" provides the theoretical foundation for the Diploma Spine Trainer. Initially, we gain an overview of the prevalence of back pain and the socioeconomic implications it entails. Subsequently, the genesis of pain at the neurophysiological level is elucidated, along with the specific stressors that can contribute to back pain. Various intervention possibilities are examined and evaluated for their treatment and cost-effectiveness.
To comprehend the genesis of back pain and implement appropriate treatment measures, an understanding of the spines anatomy is indispensable. This involves a closer examination of the spines peculiarities, the structure of intervertebral discs, the securing ligaments, and the interaction of the trunk muscles.
Following this, specific pathologies are explored in detail, elucidating various medical conditions with explanations and MRI images. Lastly, health models are introduced to aid in understanding factors that may deter or motivate individuals to reconsider their health behaviors. The brief practical segment introduces and demonstrates self-help measures for managing pain.

Body awareness and experience
The body awareness and body experience unit is intended to show why it is important as a trainer to also deal with psychological aspects in order to be able to act more competently.
This part of the training focuses in particular on perception. Different aspects of perception are considered, various systems are introduced and technical terms are introduced.

The aim is to improve body awareness as part of back training.

You will also deal with the perception and experience of your own body. You will learn methods and content and receive important tips before practicing what you have learned using practical examples. These examples deal with the movement possibilities of the spine, the perception of different breathing spaces, stability and much more.
Each practical exercise is accompanied by instructions on how to carry it out, the aims of the exercise and practical tips. Experiencing the joy of movement is also covered as part of the unit.

Conception and implementation of a back lesson
In addition to the necessary training skills, there are also a lot of organizational hurdles to overcome before planning and running a back exercise class. The aim of the unit is to confront the participants with topics such as target group definition, course duration, group size, space, equipment or costs through to didactic and methodological aspects of course design. Only when these fundamental considerations have been settled can the focus be placed on the training units.

Planning a back training session involves a whole host of aspects that need to be taken into account. First of all, a clear goal must be defined. From this, the session is divided into its individual parts: warm-up, main part and cool-down. If necessary, time must also be planned for the welcome, exercise explanation and reflection. Only when the rough structure is in place are the exercises selected and assigned to the respective blocks. Only then does the training science aspect of the unit follow, consisting of determining the duration, intensity, density and scope of the exercises. Of course, all of this must be tailored to the goal and participants of the training unit.

After working out the content together, the participants first have the task of creating a concept for organizing the course and then planning training units for different target groups and symptoms. Finally, the units planned by the participants are presented and carried out so that initial experience in instructing and correcting can be gained.

Sensorimotor Training
The human body is a complex system of muscles, tendons, joints and bones that is constantly in motion.

Every movement initiates a reaction that affects other areas of the body. Sensorimotor training is a method that trains exactly such reaction chains in the body. Through specific training of the senses (such as the sense of balance, touch, sight and hearing) and motor skills (muscle strength, coordination, mobility), the interaction of body and mind is improved.

Sensorimotor regulation is the ability of the brain to control motor function and perception. Sensorimotor training originates from the field of physiotherapy. It aims to train sensorimotor regulation and is used, for example, after a stroke. However, it can also be used in competitive sports and fitness to improve motor skills.

In this subject, sensorimotor skills are developed to be used in the fitness instructor training. Practical strengthening exercises are performed using unstable surfaces such as balance boards/foams, gymnastic balls, ropes and slings.

Training on unstable surfaces, such as the one of the BOSU Ball, trains the proprioception, i.e. the perception of the own body and its movements. Any such exercise is a challenge for balance, coordination and strength and is therefore particularly effective.

  • 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
    • Detailed description of local stabilizers such as the diaphragm, transversus abdominis muscle and pelvic floor.
  • GLOBAL MUSCLE STRUCTURES
    • Description of global muscle structures such as back extensors and abdominal muscles.
  • LUMBAR STABILIZATION
    • Interaction of the local and global stabilizers in the lumbar region and the importance of preactivation.
  • UNSTABLE SUPPORT SURFACES
    • Importance of the transversus abdominis muscle as the first activated muscle in trunk movements.
  • SENSORIMOTOR TRAINING
    • Training on unstable support surfaces and the processes during movement.
  • INTENSITY RANGES
    • Comparison of the intensity of sensorimotor training with normal strength training.
  • PRACTICAL-METHODICAL APPROACH
    • Design and structure of a training session, including warm-up and training of muscle structures.
  • MUSCLE LOOPS
    • Definition and importance of muscle loops and their training.
  • FUNCTIONAL MUSCLE CHAIN TRAINING
    • Training functional muscle chains for everyday use.
  • CONTENT OF A SENSORIMOTOR TRAINING UNIT

Fall prevention

According to the definition, a fall (Sturz) refers to a sudden, uncontrolled, unintentional descent of the body from lying, sitting, or standing to a lower level. Unfortunately, both the frequency and consequences of falls increase with age. Falls in older adults are by far the most common cause of injuries and the leading cause of accident-related deaths. The reasons for this are varied, ranging from declining sensory organs to coordination impairments and muscular deficits.

In the unit on fall prevention, the causes of increasing fall risk are thoroughly explained, and measures are presented to help reduce the risk of falls and positively influence gait, posture, coordination, and strength. Targeted training is particularly important for seniors, as it helps maintain autonomy and subsequently, quality of life. Participants also learn about tests for assessing fall risk and the methodical development of different training focuses in fall prevention.

    • Introduction and importance
    • People particularly affected
    • Connection between falls and back pain

Improving the strength of the trunk
The strength of the core is crucial for a healthy posture, a stable spine and effective movement. The core, which consists of the abdominal, back and part of the gluteal muscles as well as the lateral abdominal muscles, forms the center of the body and serves as the basis for all movements. Low muscle mass and a lack of strength in the core muscles are one of the main causes of back problems. Well-developed core muscles are therefore of great importance both in everyday life and in sport.
The long-term goal must therefore be to strengthen the muscles, especially the abdominal, back and leg muscles. Targeted, strengthening exercises can be implemented as early as possible on the basis of improved body awareness.

In this unit, a test to determine core strength is presented and practiced. Based on the test results, different exercises with variations are shown and how these can be methodically incorporated into a long-term training process. Correct execution, the most important coaching points and common sources of error are also discussed. In addition to the correct selection and intensity of exercises, the regularity of training is also important.

Another focus is on improving the strength endurance of the trunk. In particular, Nordic walking is introduced and the positive effects on back health are explained. The advantages of Nordic walking are obvious: not only is the strength endurance of the trunk trained, but general well-being is also increased and basic fitness is promoted - all with the least possible strain on joints, tendons and ligaments. In order to really achieve the positive effects, the correct Nordic walking technique and how to teach it to future customers is taught.

  • IMPROVING STRENGTH
    • Importance of core strength
    • General principles of functional training
    • As with all training, the methodical principle also applies here:
    • Improving core strength on stable surfaces
    • Improving core strength on unstable surfaces

Improvement of trunk mobility
Sufficient mobility is the basis for moving freely and unhindered and also forms the foundation for functional strength.
In the unit on improving trunk mobility, participants learn about different methods for improving mobility and how these can be combined and applied for the benefit of the client. Our body must be seen as a three-dimensional system in which everything is connected to everything else. This means that far more factors than just the ability to stretch the muscles are decisive for mobility and that, for example, body awareness and overall sensorimotor skills also play a major role in the quality of movement.
In the practical part, various static and dynamic stretching methods, and mobilization exercises for the spine are presented and carried out. Every movement is difficult, especially in cases of acute pain and tension.
Here in particular, targeted mobilization exercises can provide initial relief and noticeably improve well-being. The main focus is on the correct approach and sensible application of the various methods to improve mobility.
Overall, the course participants receive a package on how they can use the various measures to improve their range of motion and quality of movement and incorporate them into their movement patterns in the long term.

  • IMPROVEMENT OF TRUNK MOBILITY
    • Mobility model
    • External factors that influence mobility
    • Maximum range of motion (ROM) and stretching ability
    • Stretching - techniques and methods
    • Before stretching - warm-up exercises and stretching techniques
    • The most important muscle groups
    • Practical exercises on the exercise ball
    • Importance of fascia
    • Fascia training - force transmission and storage of forces
    • Fascia training - complaints and pain
    • Fascia training - procedure
    • Fascia stretching

Funding & educational leave - how it works

Can I get funding for my training?

There are a variety of funding options for training courses at the Flexyfit Sports Academy. State-specific and EU funding as well as tax-related options form the basis for this.

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.

Career afterwards - how to continue after training

What does a spine trainer do?

Spine trainers help their clients to strengthen their musculoskeletal system in individual or group sessions. Low muscle mass and strength in the core muscles are a major cause of back problems. The long-term goal must therefore be to strengthen the muscles, especially the abdominal and back muscles.

Using static and dynamic stretching methods, fascia training and mobilization exercises for the spine, trainers also help their clients to improve their core mobility.

Another task of the spine trainer is relationship prevention. To this end, workplace-related risk factors for back pain are examined and how these can be reduced through technical (furniture, climate, etc.), administrative and personnel interventions. In addition, the most common complaints (from shoulder-arm syndrome to carpal tunnel syndrome) at or caused by the workplace are addressed and how these can be avoided through behavioral prevention.

Where do I work as a spine trainer?

You can offer back training sessions on a salaried or freelance basis and create individual training plans for your clients. You can also support health practices, spa and rehabilitation facilities as well as sports and wellness hotels.

How can Flexyfit help me find a job?

We regularly list job advertisements from fitness studios on our Sportkarriere platform. There you can apply directly for jobs as a fitness trainer, branch manager, instructor or studio employee.

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.

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 :)
