Why You Should Become YouthFIT Certified

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

The Premiere Personal Fitness YouthFIT™ Certification Course consists of a study guide (Youth Fitness: An Action Plan for Shaping America’s Kids) and evaluates a thorough understanding of key concepts in youth fitness. It is designed to educate fitness professionals, physical educators and youth coaches in the many aspects of implementing an action plan that will help shape America’s kids. The course provides you with the necessary tools to properly instruct and guide today’s youth to become healthier and more fit from adolescence through adulthood using a safe, efficient and effective approach.

The study guide for the YouthFIT™ Course covers all the main components of health and fitness with the cornerstone being the “Fab Five of Fitness.” These five main components are discussed in-depth: flexibility training, aerobic training, strength training, recovery and proper nutrition.

In addition, the course evaluates key topics including basic anatomy and muscular function, exercise performance, traditional and non-traditional exercises, equipment and protocols along with program design, nutritional counseling and the obesity epidemic that plagues today’s youth.

Becoming Premiere Personal Fitness YouthFIT™ Certified will provide fitness professionals, physical educators and youth coaches with a deeper knowledge and increased confidence to successfully work one-on-one with kids as well as to develop overall group-fitness programs. The knowledge gained and the skills developed through this course will not only enhance work with young people, it will also provide greater opportunities to work with adults as many aspects of fitness overlap between those two populations.

Testimonials

“Most certifications only have a few questions addressing the fitness requirements of children and young adults; but Fred Fornicola and Matt Brzycki’s course addresses nutrition, cardiovascular endurance, exercise prescription, as well as recovery, and safe exercising habits as it relates to youngsters. Reading this book and taking the 175 question test should be on the “to do list” of every educator, coach, or personal trainer. “ -

"This test is challenging, yet necessary for establishing the proper goals and direction for today's youth. In a time when we are inflicted with child obesity, an abundance of poor food options, technology that limits daily activity level that results in minimal activity/exercise and consequently earlier-than-normal health issues -- it is time to step up and dial it back toward a healthier approach. Matt Brzycki and Fred Fornicola should be lauded for their efforts in addressing this issue and promoting healthier alternatives for the future of our Country. "
