JUNE 2009 WELLSPRING NOW AVAILABLE:
"Filling the Need: The Importance of Hiring Exercise Professionals"
When you hear the words "exercise professional," what do you think? Are you
not quite sure what makes an exercise professional "professional"?
The truth about exercise professionals is that they are much more than the
gym-related stereotypes we might think of. And now, more than ever, we need
their expertise--not only in gyms and fitness centres, but also in hospitals
and health care centres, workplaces, schools, and more.
This WellSpring covers the following topics:
- What an exercise professional is
- Why we need exercise professionals in health care, in workplaces and
schools, and in other settings
- Certifications for exercise professionals and what they mean
- How to make an exercise professional part of your organization
