Een bijzondere nuttige cursus voor een ieder die PT wil worden of meer verdieping wil voor zichzelf. Geschreven naar de laatste wetenschappelijke inzichten op het gebied van krachtsport. Elk jaar wordt de cursus aangepast naar die inzichten.
De cursus is direct toepasbaar in de praktijk.
De praktijkdagen zijn zeer nuttig. Een voorliefde voor biomechanica is een pré.
De studiebelasting is significant. Er wordt serieus tijd van je gevraagd, denk aan minimaal 6-8 uur studie per week. Dat lijkt weinig maar een achterstand is moeilijk in te halen. Het examen is stevig maar wel te doen.
Overall een echte aanrader voor een ieder in de fitnessbranche. Bro-science is no-science. 😉

The best evidenced based PT Course
This PT course is very professional, evidenced based and packed with the latest up to date information regarding nutrition, training and more. It is delivered by easy-to-read PDFs and online lectures. I am confident I can design a nutrition and training plan for any client. The live Q&As were very helpful. Amazing course.

There's a lot of confusion and…
There's a lot of confusion and misconceptions in fitness world. All these theories only made me sceptic and uncertain about all I read and heard. I picked this course because I hoped it will help me to filter all this nonsense and I'm not disappointed. I highly recommend it to anyone who values evidence based approach (with the pinch of humour :)). Also a big plus for kind and helpful customer service!

My PT is no longer intuitive.
Even if you think you know enough, you have a lot of experience, this course will still teach you a lot. You will start to scientifically use the experience you already have. It will give you a system. This course -
must have, even if you already have a coaching certificate.
If you don't have the experience and knowledge, this will build a good base and scientific understanding of fitness.
The course is very extensive. But in the comments to each topic, Menno and his team answer all questions and help you understand. At the end of each module Live Q&A where you can ask questions additionally.
10 months have gone by without a hitch.
Thanks to Menno and the team!

Ik heb de studie gevolgd
Ik heb de studie gevolgd. Het was een hele erge leerzame studie.het was heel erg uitgebreid. Het was soms wel lastig maar reinier en richard hebben goed mijn vragen beantwoord. Ik denk dag je met deze studie wel wat puntjes voor staat op andere.
Het is echt een aanrader!

Go for it
De cursus is enorm uitgebreid en gedetaillleerd .
Het is een wegwijzer om coach te worden of bestaande coaches beter te laten worden. De cursus behoud je ook levenslang en dit zal ik dan ook levenslang kunnen herbekijken en blijven bijleren. Als je vragen hebt worden deze altijd met alle aandacht behandeld en beantwoord door Richard . Geen seconde spijt gehad van de cursus te volgen , het was iedere cent en alle uren studietijd waard !

Met deze cursus distantieer je jezelf ten opzichte van andere
Zeer leerzame cursus die al mijn verwachtingen vooraf heeft overtroffen. Elk hoofdstuk wordt tot in detail besproken. Contactpersonen zoals Reinier en Richard helpen je met alle vragen en je kan altijd en snel bij ze terecht.
Dus wil jij je verder specialiseren binnen de fitness-wereld? Dan raad ik deze cursus iedereen aan die uit zijn comfort zone wilt stappen en zichzelf optimaal verder wilt ontwikkelen.

The Best Personal Training Course
A very comprehensive training course gives everything you need to start your own training and also help other people. If you are trying to be a personal trainer or want to get your health and fitness knowledge to the next level, it will be a disservice to not enroll in this course.
This course requires time and effort. I did need at least 2 hours per week to keep up with the material. And there are enormous amount of material each week. It almost can be an university level course for personal trainer. You will learn nutrition, training, and how to set up nutrition and training for almost everyone out there, from regular folks, to women, to pregnant women, to elderly. You will also learn how to properly contest prep someone as well.
Overall it is one of the best if not the best course out there.
Reinier de Wit is also the top notch customer service/TA out there. He will be available to answer almost all the questions you have or point you to someone may have answer for you.
Why 4 stars? For 2 reasons:
1. The platform they used this time is newly implemented. It is a little bit difficult for me to follow up the questions that were asked during each module. Also there were some technical glitches for live Q and A, such as certain time live Q and A won't load, but as time goes by I think it will be greatly improved.
One suggestions on live Q and A. I think it may be worthwhile to put a deadline to submit questions on the new platform, then rest of questions can be asked during live. I sometimes found Menno seems to have a hard time keep up with questions because the course platform still allows questions to be put in while live Q and A is going on.
2. Exam questions wording can be misleading sometimes. Personally I feel can lead to some confusion. Also some images we need to use on the exam the font size was very small, so if you don't have an updated web browser and don't have a good zoom in option can be problematic. I won't go in specific details since I don't want to leak exam questions (ain't no snitch yo!) but if the team want to message me regarding which one I am referring to I am happy to help!
Overall it is the best course out there. I think it is more 4.8 or 4.9 out of 5 stars. However trustpilot won't let me give a decimal score, so I have to deduct one star for the 2 issues I listed above. The material is very good. It is also recommended by almost all fitness leaders out there (such as Renaissance Periodization, Eric Helms, Layne Norton, etc). Menno does a great job on summarize research. For anyone who treats lifting seriously, they need to enroll this course, so you don't have to be asked "do you even lift bro?"
