Welcome to the YMCA Basic Fitness Theory course!  This course is the first stage of the YMCA Fitness Leadership Program, which is the certification process for YMCA Personal Trainers and Group Fitness Instructors. The intent of this course is to provide information that every fitness leader must know.

These online modules provide the theoretical education required for a successful YMCA Instructor or Personal Trainer. Upon completion (or in conjunction with it) choose the appropriate applied theory stream to begin your education for Instructor. 

This module is automatically assigned when you purchase a Group Fitness Instructor Course or the Personal Trainer Pilot.  There is no need to purchase this course separately if you are buying one of these options.
