Knowledge is the first step to solving any problem. Minimum requirement for this certification is a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science.

• Sports-specific Training – Many amateur and professional athletes work with a fitness professional during the off-season to prepare themselves for in-season competition. Whether you want to run your first 5K, run it faster or improve your tennis game, an EP can tailor your program to your sport of choice.
  
  
• Injury Rehabilitation – Injuries and accidents can prevent you from participating in your favorite activities. An experienced fitness professional, however, can make the road to recovery a smooth one by recommending exercises that emphasize overall muscular balance to prevent future injuries.
  
  
• Special-needs Training – Research confirms that individuals with health challenges such as diabetes, asthma, osteoporosis or heart disease benefit greatly from regular physical activity. These conditions, however, can make exercising safely a challenge. An EP is competent  in designing programs that address the special needs of these and other conditions.
