Medical-Fitness Technician Certification Course
Getting certified as a Medical-Fitness Technician (Med-Fit Tech) opens a variety of full or part-time career opportunities for new or aspiring personal trainers and other health and fitness professionals.
Even if you are not a personal trainer, high school students (16+ years old) to retired fitness enthusiasts (65+ years old) are encouraged to enroll. No prior health or fitness experience is required.
You will learn how to perform Medical-Fitness Assessments for healthy-active, healthy-sedentary, and sedentary with chronic disease individuals. You will also be qualified to issue Exercise Rx's and provide basic, short-term Therapeutic Fitness Training.
Our certification course involves 18 hours of Online Study at your own pace, plus a 6-hour Field Practicum. Most of our students finish the course within 2 months on a very flexible, part-time schedule.
This course is designed to meet a growing need, but the service is not independently "billable" on public or private health plans. The ideal student has an entrepreneurial spirit and is willing to work in collaboration with local gyms and other health and fitness service providers.
