Specific areas of fitness are emphasized through coursework – creating highly specialized, knowledgeable professionals.
These professionals are experts in all aspects of athletic training – including speed, agility, strength and power – and are capable of taking even the seasoned athlete to a new level of performance.
These professionals are equipped with the advanced knowledge needed to aid clients who are suffering from musculoskeletal impairments, imbalances or post-rehab concerns. They focus on helping and preventing instability issues, back and joint pain and posture issues as well as post-surgery injuries.
These professionals are trained to recognize the psychological aspects of behavioral change, weight management and exercise – from correcting bad eating habits and exercise patterns by uncovering their causes to designing specialized programming for those with cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, Type 2 diabetes and a variety of orthopedic issues.
The Woodside Training Institute was created to address the global push toward a more educated, medically oriented Personal Trainer and Group Instructor. This “new breed” is a sought after professional specializing in Performance, Corrective Exercise, Lifestyle Management, or all of these.
Originally, the WTI was created specifically for Woodside Private Trainers. This in-house education coupled with a Woodside Trainer’s already impressive credentials produced some of the best Private Trainers in the city. Woodside has now opened up our classes to everyone.
The Curriculum for the WTI was built around the most common needs for Fitness Professionals.
WTI classes are NASM & ACE accredited, but accreditation can be petitioned from all National Certifications.
