What you learn
Training and nutrition
Training and nutrition, and how much they matter for a growing body.
Gym culture
Etiquette in a gym.
Anti-doping
Anti-doping and social media.
The course is also open to you if you are 17 to 19 with no training experience.
The content
More than lifting technique
The course is built around four themes: technique, training and nutrition, gym culture and anti-doping.
The aim is to give young people a solid foundation for training safely and independently. We teach correct technique and how training and nutrition work together while the body is still growing.
Just as important is understanding how to behave and show consideration for others at a gym. That is why we also cover gym culture, anti-doping and the influence of social media.
