Progressive muscle relaxation
Die progressive Muskelrelaxation (PMR), nach Edmund Jacobson, wird bereits seit 1929 gelehrt. Diese Entspannungstechnik ist wissenschaftlich bestens untersucht.
Viele Institutionen, Therapeuten und Trainer nutzen und empfehlen PMR, um Menschen relativ schnell in einem angenehmen Entspannungszustand zu führen.
Diese Methode hat sich seit Ihrer Entstehung stark weiterentwickelt und ist mittlerweile auch in nur wenigen Stunden erlernbar. Im Fach "Progressive Muskelrelaxation" werden zunächst die theoretischen Hintergründe präsentiert, danach wird diese Technik selbst erlebt und selbständig praktiziert.

Stress theory
In todays modern world, stress is something everyone has encountered. Stress is even described by the World Health Organization as the health hazard of the century.
Thats why its important for trainers to address it, and even more important for relaxation trainers to be well-versed in it.
The beginning of this unit consists of background information on stress theory and definitions of stress. The biology of the stress mechanism is discussed, and physiological aspects are linked to stress.
Throughout this training, participants engage with various approaches such as the reaction-oriented approach or the transactional approach. Various models and schemas are presented that have proven effective.
Following a practical input where participants work independently, the SORK schema is examined in depth, discussing personal stressors, organism-specific factors, personal reaction patterns, and consequences.
The effects of stress and techniques for stress management are explained to participants and illustrated through graphics. Relaxation techniques are introduced, and the concept of relaxation is discussed and linked to related terms.

Breath Training
Breath is Life. This simple phrase encapsulates the significance of our breath most aptly.
We can go weeks without eating, a few days without drinking, but only minutes without breathing survive. This fact highlights the importance of our breath, yet we often take it for granted, paying little to no attention to it. Perhaps its because we think its something our body does automatically, or maybe because we believe we cant control how well we breathe. But thats not entirely true. We can consciously control our breath and positively influence our bodys health through breathing exercises. Our breath is the connection between our body and soul.
We breathe approximately 16 times per minute and around 23,000 times a day. On average, we consume about 10,000 liters of air. The air we inhale contains oxygen, which is vital for our survival. During exhalation, carbon dioxide and other waste gases are produced, which we release through our lungs.
Breath training is an effective method to relax the body and calm the mind. Proper breathing is crucial for our body as it transports oxygen to our cells and removes metabolic waste. However, most people dont breathe correctly, instead opting for shallow chest breathing. This leads to muscle tension and inadequate oxygen supply, resulting in fatigue, headaches, nervousness, and sleep disturbances.
Through targeted exercises and breathing techniques, one can learn the proper breathing technique and improve health. The correct breathing technique can supply our body with more oxygen, lower blood pressure, regulate heart rate, and relax muscles.
In this subject of the Relaxation Trainer training program, the most important theoretical fundamentals about breathing are taught, along with numerous practical breathing exercises introduced and practiced.

Relaxation and Endurance Sport
There are several different types of relaxation methods that people can use to unwind. One of these methods is endurance sports.
Endurance sports, alongside meditation and autogenic training, are among the most well-known and popular relaxation methods. Many people appreciate endurance activities as a soothing counterbalance to their demanding workdays.
Endurance sports are a fantastic way to relax and keep the body fit. While endurance sports require effort, numerous studies show that they can contribute to reducing stress and tension. Physical exertion triggers the release of endorphins, which reduce stress and lead to a sense of contentment.
Which sport provides the best relaxation should be experimented by each individual. Generally, endurance sports such as running, Nordic walking, swimming, or cycling are suitable options. Cycling is gentle on the joints, while swimming provides the additional sensation of being buoyed by water.
In this subject of the Relaxation Trainer training program, the different effects of endurance sports on relaxation are examined from a scientific perspective, and specific instructions are provided for using endurance sports for relaxation.

Relaxation and Nutrition
Relaxation and Nutrition are in constant interaction with each other, as both stress can alter eating habits, and eating habits can affect relaxation states.
In this subject of the Relaxation Trainer training program, we will explore various foods and their influence on stress levels, which can help relax and nourish the body. This includes Power Foods, Soul Foods, and Natural Remedies that can be integrated into ones diet to feel better and strengthen the body.
Power Foods:
Power foods, which help us stay healthy and fit, include avocados, nuts, seeds, legumes, berries, green vegetables, and whole grains. These foods are rich in nutrients, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, contributing to a healthy diet. Power foods are also rich in antioxidants, which protect our bodies from harmful free radicals. A balanced diet is crucial for good health and performance. Power foods are a good addition to a balanced diet and can support the body during physical exertion.
Soul Foods:
Soul food is a term for foods that not only nourish our bodies but also our souls. Eating is a necessity, but we can also use nutrition to improve mood and well-being. For most of us, eating is a necessity for survival. We dont think much about what we eat as long as it tastes good and fills us up. But if we make our diet more conscious, we can improve our health and positively affect our mood.
Natural Remedies:
There are many different natural remedies that people have been using for centuries to stay healthy. These include herbs, spices, fruits, and vegetables. Many of these natural remedies have proven effective in treating illnesses and ailments. In recent years, researchers have also investigated the effects of natural remedies on health and found that they do indeed offer many health benefits.
It will be exciting in this Relaxation and Nutrition subject for our participants.

Relaxation and the Spine
The spine is the central framework of the body and undergoes a constant cycle between tension and relaxation. The muscles and connective tissue must adapt to this cycle and recover at short intervals. Through targeted relaxation exercises after training, the spine can be relieved and the muscles relaxed.
After physical exertion, it is therefore important to give the body sufficient time and rest to regenerate. At the same time, it is also important that the body is not constantly in a state of tension, as this can lead to overloading.
Movement and relaxation are essential for the health of the body. Movement is an activity that is essential for the health of the body. It not only aids in digestion but also in blood circulation and metabolism enhancement. Subsequent relaxation is equally important as it relaxes the muscles and thus promotes blood circulation. Especially poorly circulated tissues such as the intervertebral discs, joint cartilage, and the capsule-ligament apparatus rely on measured movement and subsequent relaxation to achieve optimal nutrition and metabolism enhancement.
It is important to slowly wind down the training. Relaxation starts from the head. It should also be attempted to mentally switch off.
In addition to possible stress-related causes of back pain, in this subject of the Relaxation Trainer training program, you will learn various self-help measures. Different perception and relaxation techniques and their objectives and implementation are also discussed.
This lecture is for those who have suffered from back pain and want to find a solution. It is also for those interested in various relaxation and perception techniques.

Lesson organization and planning (ENT)
Relaxation is more important than ever in our fast-paced and hectic world today. Many people complain of stress and nervousness and are therefore searching for relaxation techniques to better cope with daily stress.
The right relaxation trainer can make a big difference and help to learn and apply the right techniques.
The design and planning of sessions is an essential part of the work of a relaxation trainer. In the first part of the subject Session Design, we will focus on the most important didactic principles and ask ourselves how a unit can be structured and what necessary conditions should be considered to create the right mood and atmosphere for the participants. The trainer must be able to find the right balance between tension and relaxation, and the participants must feel comfortable.
Each class hour has a clear concept, a well-thought-out structure, and a goal. At the beginning of the hour, the class concept should be conveyed to the participants so that they can prepare for the hour. This can be adjusted or slightly changed during the hour. This way, participants can relax in every hour and tailor the exercises optimally to their needs.
The trainer must "live" relaxation: he should infect others with it and be able to convey corresponding feelings. He should exude calm and serenity himself.
Not only comprehensive theoretical knowledge is imparted, but also the necessary practical skills on how to design a relaxation session.
In the second and main part of this course, participants can present their session concepts and receive constructive feedback from the instructors, as well as from the other participants in the course.

Basic yoga exercises
What is Yoga and where does it come from? Yoga is an Indian doctrine that originally stems from Hinduism. The core message of Yoga is: "Through practice and habit, one can perceive the world." Yoga is practiced either individually or in a group and consists of various body, breathing, and meditation techniques.
The earliest records of Yoga date back to the 2nd and 1st centuries BCE and are documented in the so-called Vedas, the sacred scriptures of Hinduism. Yoga is an ancient Indian philosophy that aims at the unity of body, mind, and soul.
The practice of Yoga encompasses various exercises, breathing techniques, and meditations aimed at strengthening the body and calming the mind.
In this subject of the Training Course for Relaxation Trainers, we will focus on some basic Yoga exercises that primarily concentrate on relaxation and strengthening of the body. We will also delve into the history and philosophy of Yoga and learn how this ancient tradition has persisted to the present day.
In the main part, selected Yoga positions with a focus on relaxation will be taught. Self-experience, as well as guiding and correcting the selected Yoga exercises, are central.

Stress theory
In todays modern world, stress is something everyone has encountered. Stress is even described by the World Health Organization as the health hazard of the century.
Thats why its important for trainers to address it, and even more important for relaxation trainers to be well-versed in it.
The beginning of this unit consists of background information on stress theory and definitions of stress. The biology of the stress mechanism is discussed, and physiological aspects are linked to stress.
Throughout this training, participants engage with various approaches such as the reaction-oriented approach or the transactional approach. Various models and schemas are presented that have proven effective.
Following a practical input where participants work independently, the SORK schema is examined in depth, discussing personal stressors, organism-specific factors, personal reaction patterns, and consequences.
The effects of stress and techniques for stress management are explained to participants and illustrated through graphics. Relaxation techniques are introduced, and the concept of relaxation is discussed and linked to related terms.

Breath Training
Breath is Life. This simple phrase encapsulates the significance of our breath most aptly.
We can go weeks without eating, a few days without drinking, but only minutes without breathing survive. This fact highlights the importance of our breath, yet we often take it for granted, paying little to no attention to it. Perhaps its because we think its something our body does automatically, or maybe because we believe we cant control how well we breathe. But thats not entirely true. We can consciously control our breath and positively influence our bodys health through breathing exercises. Our breath is the connection between our body and soul.
We breathe approximately 16 times per minute and around 23,000 times a day. On average, we consume about 10,000 liters of air. The air we inhale contains oxygen, which is vital for our survival. During exhalation, carbon dioxide and other waste gases are produced, which we release through our lungs.
Breath training is an effective method to relax the body and calm the mind. Proper breathing is crucial for our body as it transports oxygen to our cells and removes metabolic waste. However, most people dont breathe correctly, instead opting for shallow chest breathing. This leads to muscle tension and inadequate oxygen supply, resulting in fatigue, headaches, nervousness, and sleep disturbances.
Through targeted exercises and breathing techniques, one can learn the proper breathing technique and improve health. The correct breathing technique can supply our body with more oxygen, lower blood pressure, regulate heart rate, and relax muscles.
In this subject of the Relaxation Trainer training program, the most important theoretical fundamentals about breathing are taught, along with numerous practical breathing exercises introduced and practiced.

Relaxation and Endurance Sport
There are several different types of relaxation methods that people can use to unwind. One of these methods is endurance sports.
Endurance sports, alongside meditation and autogenic training, are among the most well-known and popular relaxation methods. Many people appreciate endurance activities as a soothing counterbalance to their demanding workdays.
Endurance sports are a fantastic way to relax and keep the body fit. While endurance sports require effort, numerous studies show that they can contribute to reducing stress and tension. Physical exertion triggers the release of endorphins, which reduce stress and lead to a sense of contentment.
Which sport provides the best relaxation should be experimented by each individual. Generally, endurance sports such as running, Nordic walking, swimming, or cycling are suitable options. Cycling is gentle on the joints, while swimming provides the additional sensation of being buoyed by water.
In this subject of the Relaxation Trainer training program, the different effects of endurance sports on relaxation are examined from a scientific perspective, and specific instructions are provided for using endurance sports for relaxation.

Relaxation and Nutrition
Relaxation and Nutrition are in constant interaction with each other, as both stress can alter eating habits, and eating habits can affect relaxation states.
In this subject of the Relaxation Trainer training program, we will explore various foods and their influence on stress levels, which can help relax and nourish the body. This includes Power Foods, Soul Foods, and Natural Remedies that can be integrated into ones diet to feel better and strengthen the body.
Power Foods:
Power foods, which help us stay healthy and fit, include avocados, nuts, seeds, legumes, berries, green vegetables, and whole grains. These foods are rich in nutrients, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, contributing to a healthy diet. Power foods are also rich in antioxidants, which protect our bodies from harmful free radicals. A balanced diet is crucial for good health and performance. Power foods are a good addition to a balanced diet and can support the body during physical exertion.
Soul Foods:
Soul food is a term for foods that not only nourish our bodies but also our souls. Eating is a necessity, but we can also use nutrition to improve mood and well-being. For most of us, eating is a necessity for survival. We dont think much about what we eat as long as it tastes good and fills us up. But if we make our diet more conscious, we can improve our health and positively affect our mood.
Natural Remedies:
There are many different natural remedies that people have been using for centuries to stay healthy. These include herbs, spices, fruits, and vegetables. Many of these natural remedies have proven effective in treating illnesses and ailments. In recent years, researchers have also investigated the effects of natural remedies on health and found that they do indeed offer many health benefits.
It will be exciting in this Relaxation and Nutrition subject for our participants.

Relaxation and the Spine
The spine is the central framework of the body and undergoes a constant cycle between tension and relaxation. The muscles and connective tissue must adapt to this cycle and recover at short intervals. Through targeted relaxation exercises after training, the spine can be relieved and the muscles relaxed.
After physical exertion, it is therefore important to give the body sufficient time and rest to regenerate. At the same time, it is also important that the body is not constantly in a state of tension, as this can lead to overloading.
Movement and relaxation are essential for the health of the body. Movement is an activity that is essential for the health of the body. It not only aids in digestion but also in blood circulation and metabolism enhancement. Subsequent relaxation is equally important as it relaxes the muscles and thus promotes blood circulation. Especially poorly circulated tissues such as the intervertebral discs, joint cartilage, and the capsule-ligament apparatus rely on measured movement and subsequent relaxation to achieve optimal nutrition and metabolism enhancement.
It is important to slowly wind down the training. Relaxation starts from the head. It should also be attempted to mentally switch off.
In addition to possible stress-related causes of back pain, in this subject of the Relaxation Trainer training program, you will learn various self-help measures. Different perception and relaxation techniques and their objectives and implementation are also discussed.
This lecture is for those who have suffered from back pain and want to find a solution. It is also for those interested in various relaxation and perception techniques.

Lesson organization and planning (ENT)
Relaxation is more important than ever in our fast-paced and hectic world today. Many people complain of stress and nervousness and are therefore searching for relaxation techniques to better cope with daily stress.
The right relaxation trainer can make a big difference and help to learn and apply the right techniques.
The design and planning of sessions is an essential part of the work of a relaxation trainer. In the first part of the subject Session Design, we will focus on the most important didactic principles and ask ourselves how a unit can be structured and what necessary conditions should be considered to create the right mood and atmosphere for the participants. The trainer must be able to find the right balance between tension and relaxation, and the participants must feel comfortable.
Each class hour has a clear concept, a well-thought-out structure, and a goal. At the beginning of the hour, the class concept should be conveyed to the participants so that they can prepare for the hour. This can be adjusted or slightly changed during the hour. This way, participants can relax in every hour and tailor the exercises optimally to their needs.
The trainer must "live" relaxation: he should infect others with it and be able to convey corresponding feelings. He should exude calm and serenity himself.
Not only comprehensive theoretical knowledge is imparted, but also the necessary practical skills on how to design a relaxation session.
In the second and main part of this course, participants can present their session concepts and receive constructive feedback from the instructors, as well as from the other participants in the course.

Basic yoga exercises
What is Yoga and where does it come from? Yoga is an Indian doctrine that originally stems from Hinduism. The core message of Yoga is: "Through practice and habit, one can perceive the world." Yoga is practiced either individually or in a group and consists of various body, breathing, and meditation techniques.
The earliest records of Yoga date back to the 2nd and 1st centuries BCE and are documented in the so-called Vedas, the sacred scriptures of Hinduism. Yoga is an ancient Indian philosophy that aims at the unity of body, mind, and soul.
The practice of Yoga encompasses various exercises, breathing techniques, and meditations aimed at strengthening the body and calming the mind.
In this subject of the Training Course for Relaxation Trainers, we will focus on some basic Yoga exercises that primarily concentrate on relaxation and strengthening of the body. We will also delve into the history and philosophy of Yoga and learn how this ancient tradition has persisted to the present day.
In the main part, selected Yoga positions with a focus on relaxation will be taught. Self-experience, as well as guiding and correcting the selected Yoga exercises, are central.

Career afterwards - how to continue after training
What are the responsibilities of a relaxation trainer?
The responsibilities of a relaxation trainer can be varied and often depend on their work environment, skills and specialisations. Here are some of the most common tasks and responsibilities of a relaxation trainer:- Teach relaxation techniques
- Some relaxation coaches offer individual counselling and support for people who have specific stress or relaxation problems.
- Relaxation trainers can offer courses and workshops in various environments, such as fitness centres, companies, schools or health facilities.
- Relaxation trainers help to promote general wellbeing by helping people to reduce stress, solve sleep problems and develop healthier lifestyle habits.
- A relaxation trainer can monitor the progress of their clients and participants and adjust the relaxation programmes as necessary to achieve the best results.
What do relaxation trainers earn?
The income of a relaxation trainer can vary greatly and depends on various factors, including location, experience, specialisation, number of clients and working environment. In general, relaxation trainers can earn income in different ways:
Fee per session or course: A relaxation trainer can charge clients per session or course. The fee varies depending on the location, market conditions and specialisation of the trainer
Group courses: Relaxation trainers who offer group courses can generate income from course fees. The prices for such courses can vary depending on the target group and location.
Private lessons: Some clients may prefer private lessons or individual counselling. In such cases, relaxation trainers may charge higher fees for personalised attention.
Relaxation trainers have the option of becoming self-employed and passing on relaxation techniques to individuals in their own practice, as well as working in groups. For example, you can give courses or teach in institutions. Nowadays, schools and kindergartens also often have a need for autogenic training.
Some companies also employ an in-house relaxation trainer for their employees to help with work-related stress, so the options are varied and can be flexibly combined.

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 :)
