This highly practical five-day course will give you the skills to become a superior exercise professional.
After attending IMS Level 1, you will be able to effectively administer individualized exercise programs for all types of clients. Correct technique is emphasized throughout the course, with plenty of hands-on assistance from the CHEK Faculty.
A key component of this certification is the integration of mind-body fitness and traditional exercise prescription. You will understand how different types of exercise, from Tai Chi to cardiovascular conditioning to weight training, affect both parts of the autonomic nervous system – an often neglected factor that is vital to achieving success with your clients.

Trained in this system, you will be able to implement results-producing programs that enhance your client’s function and overall well-being.
