FITNESS CERTIFICATION & Education

The American Aerobic Association International and International Sports Medicine Association’s certification system is based on a university model where you study the written material and then attend an in-person or streaming fitness certification & education class. At the streaming certification workshop you will have a AAAI/ISMA faculty trainer who has a Master’s Degree, Ph.D. or MD as you would at a university. At the streaming certification workshop you can ask questions to clarify the material that you pre-studied. You are able to see PowerPoint presentations of the anatomy and physiology and you participate in a technique component where you learn the movement skills that apply to your certification choice.

HELPING FITNESS INSTRUCTORS TEACH SAFE AND EFFECTIVE CLASSES OR TRAINING SESSIONS

We are very proud that most of the faculty trainers teaching our fitness certification and education workshops have a Master’s Degree, Ph. D. or M. D. Our fitness certification system is modeled after a University educational system in which the students purchase study materials and then attend an inter-active educational workshop. There is a theoretical and practical component of each certification.
