CPD HIT Course
Loved the course, since it focused on principles of HIT, which is hard to find good information about.
Loved the exercise demonstrations and lectures focusing on principles of HIT, which were explained in a comprehensible manner. Additionally, I loved the section of intensity techniques and many examples of TSC exercises.
The course kept the promise of providing existing exercise professionals with a thorough explanation of the principles of HIT.
Become a Hit Specialist
This course is fantastic for anyone who is thinking to learn, brush up on, or enhance their skills and understanding of High Intensity Training. The course is easy to follow and understand and it moves in a logical flow, which is hard to find when someone tries to teach you about HIT. As someone who’s already been working in HIT for almost three years I found the course to be a great reminder on a lot of the things I often take for granted, and a tool I will definitely be using in the future to refer back to for great ideas, and execution.
Thanks for putting together something so logical!
THANK YOU!
I really loved the opportunity to learn. The interview was also such a pleasure to talk with you (Simon). You are an expert in the field, and just conversing back and forth was so enlightening. Thank you for a wonderful course and an incredible interview.
Should be a mandatory course for all exercise professionals
Coming from a traditional high-volume background this course has really opened my eyes. With well laid out material in each section, I have been able to apply what I have learned to my clients and have seen first-hand the rewarding results that HIT workouts can do for people’s lives, even my own.
With a growing family and busy career, time for my own health was fading but HIT workouts have helped me get strong again and reduced the joint aches/pains from the old days of spending hours in the gym.
This course should be mandatory for anyone working with the general population and/or anyone who says they are too busy to workout.
