Niel Asher Education Advanced Personal Trainer

By the end of this course, you will (1) design progressive, periodized strength programs and (2) apply the science of resistance training to optimize athletic performance. This comprehensive course with Dr. Jason Miller delivers a science-based understanding of resistance training — from its historical roots to advanced movement applications. Learners explore the evolution of strength development, foundational terminology, and how different training modes (free weights, machines, bands, and bodyweight) can be safely adapted for any population or goal. Through practical and theoretical modules, the course explains how muscle mechanics, neuromuscular recruitment, and the stretch–shortening cycle determine strength, power, and performance outcomes. By the end, students will be able to design goal-specific programs grounded in biomechanics and physiology, apply structured progressions across key movement patterns, and optimize results through evidence-informed strategies. This course bridges the gap between academic theory and practical training design—making it invaluable for coaches, therapists, and professionals seeking to elevate both performance and safety in resistance-based programs.

By the end of this course, you will (1) apply strength and conditioning principles to injury prevention and rehabilitation and (2) design evidence-based programs to restore performance safely and efficiently. Presented by world-renowned performance coach Mike McGurn, whose career includes elite roles with the Irish National Rugby Team, EPL clubs, and world champion athletes, this course bridges the gap between athletic performance and clinical rehabilitation. You’ll learn how to use strength, power, and movement training to build resilience, accelerate recovery, and reduce the risk of re-injury. Through professional insights, video demonstrations, and real-world examples, participants will master how to integrate conditioning, mobility, and load management strategies into practice. What makes this course unique is its hands-on, performance-driven approach—giving rehabilitation and fitness professionals practical tools proven to help athletes and patients return stronger than before.

By the end of this course, you will (1) understand and apply the five foundational positions essential to improving movement efficiency and (2) integrate corrective progressions that enhance performance and rehabilitation outcomes. Presented by Dr. Mark Cheng, a leading authority in corrective exercise and movement restoration, this course breaks down the five Groundwork Positions—Periscope, Sphinx, Crawling, Tall-Kneeling, and Half-Kneeling—to help clinicians, trainers, and therapists retrain motor patterns safely and effectively. Through in-depth video demonstrations and practical coaching cues, learners gain actionable tools to assess and guide clients at any level of ability. Designed to complement systems such as FMS and SFMA, this course bridges the gap between assessment and application—helping professionals restore balance, coordination, and performance with evidence-based movement strategies.

By the end of this course, you will (1) master foundational and advanced kettlebell techniques and (2) design safe, effective programs for strength, endurance, and recovery. Presented by World Champion Levi Markwardt of Hard to Kill Training, this course blends high-level sport expertise with practical instruction. You’ll learn proper technique for swings, presses, squats, and get-ups, progressing to advanced combinations and flow sequences. Levi demonstrates how kettlebells enhance coordination, functional movement, and resilience—whether used for general fitness, athletic conditioning, or rehabilitation. Learners also explore safety, injury prevention, and programming for individual and group settings. This course is unique for its accessibility and versatility, empowering professionals to integrate kettlebells into diverse training and recovery programs.

By the end of this course, you will (1) assess and correct running mechanics to reduce injury risk and (2) integrate strength, nutrition, and equipment strategies to enhance endurance and recovery. Created by performance coach and dietitian Stephanie Hnatiuk, this course combines gait analysis, strength and conditioning, footwear selection, and fueling principles into a complete injury-prevention system. Learners gain actionable skills for identifying faulty movement patterns, improving stride efficiency, and supporting recovery through load management and nutrition. What sets this course apart is its multidisciplinary approach—bridging sports science, biomechanics, and nutrition to create well-rounded, evidence-based guidance for runners of all levels.
