The ironic fact that is currently unknown among many of the most ardent proponents of long duration, high volume training is  most of the World’s Greatest Endurance athletes do not use long duration, high volume training at all! Since the 1950’s, follow the great success of Swedish endurance athletes using FARTLEK(the Swedish word for “speed-play”) training, an early form of High Intensity Interval Training, H.I.I.T. All the greats in Aerobic endurance have used variations of High Intensity, Low Volume, low duration training. Most marathon runners who know how to train smart will run for less than 11 miles/week of H.I.I.T. in preparation for a 26.2 miles marathon race! The IFPA High Intensity Training Certification is specifically designed to give you 300 unique program designs that include high intensity exercises from weight-lifting, plyometrics, kettle bells, body-weight exercises, strength band, and strength ball exercises, Olympic lifting, medicine ball exercises, sand-bag exercises, gymnastics exercises, sprinting, box jump exercise, cable exercises, suspension training exercises, core exercises, functional training exercises, dumbbell exercises, foam roller exercises, and more. You will also be taught unique program designs that will successfully solve many of the most common problems you have as a Personal Trainer in both recruiting and retaining personal training clients. The most challenging problems you face as a Personal Trainer is how to get new clients? Recruiting! And how do you keep your clients? Retention! High Intensity Training solves your problems by having answers to all your Personal Training Clients objections:

• Client: I don’t have time to exercise.

Personal Trainer: Great! I use High Intensity Training so a personal training session will typically be less than 30 minutes.

• Client: I don’t have the motivation to exercise.

Personal Trainer: I know how you feel, most of my clients find weight lifting about as exciting as watching grass grow! I use High Intensity Training specifically designed to keep you entertained and motivated by constantly doing new, exiting, and fun exercises. I promise you, you will never be bored again.

• Client: I don’t have the energy to exercise.

Personal Trainer: I understand exactly how you are feeling right now because almost every one of my clients felt the same when they started personal training with me, but what they all found was that my specially designed High Intensity Training Programs did not take energy away from them, it actually created energy in them. High Intensity Training actually regenerates your mitochondria so they begin to produce energy again. So if you are feeling low on energy, that is the precise reason you NEED to train with me. If you don’t, your feelings of low energy will only get worse! *These are just a few examples of how you will use your new found knowledge, skills and abilities to gain more clients than ever, and keep them forever through safe and effective use of High Intensity Training.
