The Flexible Periodization Method - Advanced Program Design for the Fitness Client

Description

A Message from Karsten Jensen, M.Sc., Strength Coach to World Class and Olympic Athletes and Author of The Flexible Periodization Method

The hourly rate for a personal trainer can be as low as $10 per hour or as high as $200 per hour.

If a compensation of 10, 15 or even 20 dollars per hour makes it challenging to make the income you want, you may be forced to leave the job that you are truly passionate about.

The way to "climb up" the income ladder is to "over-deliver on the quality of your service" by creating MORE RESULT-PRODUCING TRAINING programs.

"I believe this course is a mandatory must for all trainers. This could be the one topic that we, as a group of trainers, lack the most direction and cohesion." – Gino Zinga, Personal Trainer, CPTN Assessor

Through 9 specific steps, The Flexible Periodization Method shows you how to create more result-producing training programs, by applying a long-term approach and by making each program uniquely tailored to each client's needs.

By mastering the art and science of creating long-term, periodized training programs with The Flexible Periodization Method, you:

  • are in a position to sell macrocycles of 16-20 weeks instead of packages of 4-6 sessions, thus increasing client retention and revenue.
  • have taken the first step towards a business model in which the client also pays for the program and not only your time with them.

Here is what you will learn in this intense 16-hour seminar

  • De-mystifying "periodization"
  • Example of a 16-week periodized program for a client seeking body composition changes - including many "ready to use" strategies.
  • A detailed description of The Flexible Periodization Method.

"Karsten's physiological and anatomical knowledge is fantastic. We should all as fitness professionals strive to add this kind of scientific background to even our most basic of clients." – Jon Gardhouse, CPTN-CPT
