Resistance training exercise (aerobic and anaerobic), regardless of the name used to identify its type, branding, system, or form requires more than just memorizing names of exercises and muscles and determining the efficiency of the exercise based on cosmetic and physiological changes.

Our post certification continuing education credit (CEC) courses offer both lecture (theory) & practical (hands-on training) education. We challenge the most common theories, trends, biases and marketing cliches associated with exercise and nutrition and put into perspective their validity or lack of.

The Academy of Applied Personal Training Education (AAPTE) provides the fitness professional with the opportunity to learn the skills and sciences necessary to evaluate the safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of resistance training exercises based upon the musculoskeletal system and the forces that are, imposed upon its structure during resistance training exercise. Additionally we teach the deductive thinking skills necessary for the professional trainer to reason common and public information related to resistance training exercise and nutrition myths from science based facts.

We examine and challenge the most common theories associated with resistance training movements and clearly define the difference between "lifting weights / weight-training" and "muscular activation against resistance for specific needs and goals" to create Safe, Effective and Efficient musculoskeletal movement defined as "Kinesio-MechaniX". We place an emphasis on applying science based theoretical knowledge to practical hands-on skill training.

Fitness professionals will gain the teaching skills and confidence necessary to challenge their clients with resistance training exercise subjectively based upon their needs, goals and current abilities.
