PREPARATION FOR NATIONAL CERTIFICATION EXAMS
The Smart Workout Academy is a training program, not a certification. It is designed to give you the theoretical knowledge and practical skills that you will need to get started as a Group Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer.
The Smart Workout Academy will help you prepare for many national certifications, such as AFAA Primary Group Fitness, and ACE Personal Training. Our program will help clarify many of the concepts found in the study guides of these organizations, by providing a foundation in the basics of anatomy, fitness testing, program design, and more.
We do provide a Certificate of Completion at the conclusion of the course.
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE PROGRAM
This program does not guarantee you a job with Smart Workout. This is a stand-alone training program designed to provide career changers and novice trainers with the fundamental tools that they will need to succeed in the fitness industry. The training in this program is an excellent preparation for national certification exams, and for starting a career with a fitness facility.
But to be clear, Smart Workout would welcome and encourage the top talent of this program to apply to become a part of our team.
We offer two different employment opportunities:
A. 90 hour internship
Work 90 hours at Smart Workout, teaching classes or doing Personal Trainings, during one semester (6 hours/week for 15 weeks). At the completion of the 90 hours, you would get a full refund of the tuition you paid for this program. This creates in essence, a “barter”—you’d put in 1.5 hours of working time in exchange for each hour of training you received from us. In addition to the tuition refund, you’d gain valuable practical experience, and resume enhancement.
B. Fitness Assistant Position
This position requires a 1-year commitment, for 15 hours a week. This is a paid position. There is an additional 50 hours of in-house training provided. You would be required to obtain an AFAA Group Fitness Certification and an ACE Personal Trainer certification. In addition to teaching classes and giving personal trainings, the position involves marketing and customer service. We would train you for this, but you would need to provide the talent and enthusiasm for these tasks. The compensation is $10/hour; plus full reimbursement of the tuition you paid for this program; plus reimbursement for the cost of your second national certification.
TUITION
The tuition is $500 for the entire program, and is payable in full upon registration.
READING MATERIALS
You will receive a Smart Workout Academy Manual (which includes class scripts, assessment forms, and training modules), as part of your tuition. You will also need to obtain “Anatomy of Movement,” by Blandine Calais-Germain. You will receive a reading assignment from this book, which must be completed prior to your first session.
