Optional Course Review- July 25, 6:30 – 8:00
This Hybrid course consists of live ZOOM meetings and Face-to-face hands-on skill training. This course is for exercise and rehabilitation professionals seeking the skills to provide their clients and patients with the ultimate exercise experience. Participants will experience the effect of exercise variation, intensity variables, and strategic approaches to maximizing internal performance.
This course is open to those who may not have a personal training certification but have had coursework in a related study area.
This is the only course of its kind and is guaranteed to be a positive addition to your knowledge. There is limited space for this course due to the nature of the practical hands-on experience.
APTE is the authorized U.S. representative of the Resistance Training Specialist1 (RTS1) course and the optional certification Exam.

Practical Hands-on July 22-23, 9:00-3:00 at Elevation Fitness Babylon, New York
ZOOM
- An introduction to RTS™ principles and perspectives.
- Anatomical architecture and considerations related to joints and muscles.
- Exploration of forces and restraints related to exercise.
Practical
- Hands-on skill development for the upper, lower, and spine. In-depth application of exercise mechanics as it relates to joint and muscle function.
- Verbal, visual, and tactile Cueing for effective neuromuscular recruitment.
- Introduce strategic variation® of exercise manipulation and progressions.
- Machines, Body Weight, Elastomers, Cables, Pneumatic, and Free-weights.
Participants must be…
- Open-minded. This course will challenge your beliefs and understanding of exercise.
- Interested in principle-based exercise decision-making.
- Committed to evolving their understanding of exercise to customize the design, execution, and delivery of exercise to meet the ever-changing needs and tolerances of each client/patient.
