The purchase of this course includes Basic Theory.  Basic Theory will be called "Basic Theory Group Fitness Edition" and will populate in the Fitness Instructor courses on your My Courses page.

The YMCA Personal Trainer course is a combination of e-learning, practical sessions, and in-personal learning. Basic Theory precedes this course and is the final stage in obtaining your Personal Trainer certification.

This e-learning course is broken into four parts. Each part has a complementing in-person session to help further reinforce and develop your understanding of the theory.

In addition to the in-person sessions, you will be asked to complete two practicals and a final evaluation of a mock personal training appointment.
