Partnership Improving Training Experiences and Education, Enhance Virtual Personal Training Category

FlexIt, the leading Virtual Personal Training (VPT) provider, recently announced its partnership with ISSA (International Sports Sciences Association) to help improve the quality of education around Virtual Personal Training in light of its recent, rapid growth in the fitness space.

Since 2020, FlexIt has built the world's premier Virtual Personal Training product. It is now sharing this knowledge with ISSA certified trainers to improve their proficiency with Virtual Personal Training and provide professional opportunities to its graduates, such as CEU credits and certifications. In conjunction with ISSA, FlexIt has developed courses that teach trainers how to succeed in the new virtual arena. These courses feature in-depth explanations on how virtual training differs from traditional in-person training and expert advice from other virtual personal trainers.

"We have learned a lot about Virtual Personal Training over the past year and a half, and we're excited to be sharing that with ISSA's students. From how to set up your space for virtual training to changes in how clients should be cued, there are a lot of concepts trainers need to be aware of when training virtually," says FlexIt CEO and Founder Austin Cohen. "We spend a lot of time working with our trainers to establish and disseminate best practices for training virtually and ISSA has given us a platform to educate even more trainers."

FlexIt and ISSA's new virtual course will complement ISSA's existing programs for personal trainers and introduce them to concepts and techniques that are unique to virtual training, and allow them to earn CEUs that will enhance their training abilities. Education on FlexIt's built-in drawing and feedback tools, advice from FlexIt coaches, and best practices for promoting themselves virtually are all provided to trainers in the new ISSA course.

"We are excited to build on our industry-leading and widely-respected personal training courses," says Andrew Wyant - President at ISSA. "Virtual will continue to be a popular modality for personal training, and FlexIt is the industry leader, so it makes them an ideal partner for us. Being able to work with them to offer additional career development to our trainers is a perfect opportunity."

FlexIt is currently available for download in the App Store and Google Play. To learn more about FlexIt, visit: www.flexit.fit.
