motive8 CPD launched at the start at 2015, offering courses for personal trainers and fitness instructors. As a Personal Training Company, working in the health and fitness company for the past 15 years, we had a vision to pass on our passion and knowledge to other like-minded personal trainers and so motive8 CPD was born.
We know there are other companies out there with whom you could book your CPD courses through, so why should you attend a motive8 CPD course?
1. Bridging the gap
Often many personal trainers or fitness instructors have attended courses which qualify them to become a personal trainers in 4-6 weeks. But let’s be honest, unless you have a degree and have a lot of experience of training or working in the industry, do you really learn everything in the depth you need to know on these courses? Our courses aim to ‘bridge this knowledge gap’, and for those personal trainers without a degree it is a great way to develop the in-depth knowledge you may be missing.
2. Courses for personal trainers, taught by experienced personal trainers
How often have you been on a fitness course and the tutor hasn’t even worked as a personal trainer? How can they relate to client experiences and problems you may face as a personal trainer?
All our courses for personal trainers are taught by personal trainers who all have great success rates with their clients. They can relate to YOU and YOUR clients….how to apply the knowledge you learn on one of our courses to individual clients, the barriers you face with your clients and how to get the best out of your clients.
The tutors who teach our fitness courses all have to go through a rigorous 4 stage interview process which means we select only the very best tutors to deliver the highest level of knowledge during our CPD courses.
3. Peer-led research
The content of our CPD courses is fully supported by peer-led research. It takes an astonishing 50 hours of reading to produce one of our 2 day courses for personal trainers. All of our reading and research is based on journal articles, ensuring that you are provided with the most up-to-date knowledge of the subject. We also ensure that we review all course content every year to keep it current.
4. Not just a number
As a company, motive8 has always been proud of the fact that we treat everyone as an individual – whether you are a personal training client, a class member or someone who comes for a gym induction everyone is treated individually, and this extends to motive8 CPD. We keep our tutor/student ratio to 1:12 so that everyone who attends one of our fitness courses gets the attention they need and gets a good understanding of the course content.
5. Creating a community
As someone who attends our course you will be invited to share in our CPD community. You can chat with other personal trainers and instructors who have attended our fitness courses and bounce ideas around. If you have an assessment to perform as part of one of our courses for personal trainers you can all share ideas.
6. Periodisation
Periodisation should be the foundation of our personal training client’s training programmes but how much depth did you go into this during your personal trainers course? Any of our courses which include programming will look at periodization in depth. Want to know how to periodise a runner’s training plan for a full year, then our Running Conditioning & Biomechanics Course is for you. Click here to book.
7. Bespoke courses for personal trainers & fitness instructors
We don’t want to create courses which you can do anywhere else such as Circuit Training, Boot Camp Training, etc. Our vision is to create courses for personal trainers and fitness instructors and create a knowledge base which you cannot get anywhere else. That’s why we developed our first two courses – Running Conditioning & Biomechanics and Advanced Weight Training. By attending these courses you will learn skills you won’t learn elsewhere, making you stand out from the crowd as a personal trainer.
8. Get client results!
The reason most people hire a personal trainer is because they want results! Come along to a motive8 CPD course and we guarantee that if you implement the knowledge you have learned on one of our courses you will get results with your clients.
