Motivating others to commit to be fit
Good nutrition. Regular exercise. Stress management. These are a few of the major elements of a healthy life and a large part of what you’ll learn to coach others toward in our program.
There’s no magic tonic for a healthier life. We all have to work at it every day, but that doesn’t mean a personable wellness coach can’t make it an enjoyable and lifetime journey.
For a look at all the courses in our program, consult the course list.
Let our faculty of fitness experts share from their own experiences, motivating others to lead healthier lives, including what works and what doesn’t.
From them, you’ll learn about:

- Physiological & psychological factors in weight management
- Chronic disease
- Strength training
- Cardiovascular exercises
- Responses to stress/coping techniques
- And, much more!
