I have…a new understanding of how to appropriately address the specific needs and desires of any given client’s lifestyle.
My career as a personal trainer has been transformed, and it is exciting to watch my clients progress as a result.

You will leave IMS 1 feeling transformed in your confidence as a coach. The knowledge I gained was practical and built on my understanding of physiology and health immensely.
N. Baumgardner - Colorado, USA
I am a healthy person and have been exercising for years. This course took my knowledge of health and movement to a level I didn't even know existed. Very grateful!
J. Cleal - New South Wales, AUS
IMS1 should be the baseline standard for exercise coaching. I feel like everything I thought I knew prior to this course pales in comparison to the skills I have now. I feel empowered as a holistic health practitioner and far safer to coach any client (and know exactly when to refer on).
