Build Better
Programs
For Clients

If you feel like you struggle to write good training programs for clients or you often create programs that just fall flat when you try to deliver them in a session, you’re not alone!

Assessing and programming for clients can be exhausting as a trainer. You have to balance a client’s goals with their needs and you’re on the clock to get results. Not to mention, there’s so many variables that it’s easy to get overwhelmed or frustrated when the client just can’t seem to get their body in the right position or do the exercise correctly.

The truth is that creating and delivering great training programs actually requires you to be good at 3 different things: assessments, program design, exercise coaching.

Without the ability to do all three, your training programs can’t be world-class.

What you need are the simple systems that help you identify the best exercises for each client and the coaching cues to make delivering each workout seamless. And, that’s exactly what you’ll receive at the Practical Programming and Coaching workshop!

Between hands-on coaching sessions, basic and advanced programming lessons, and working with real people in real time, you’ll get comfortable building training programs for nearly all client goals and gain confidence in your ability to coach and progress exercises quickly and effectively.

I purchased the 2-day in-person bundle, and it was the best investment I could have made. Meeting Coach Joe Drake and Coach David Crump in person, working out with them, and receiving their invaluable tips was a true gift. Now, holding my certificate in hand, I feel completely ready and confident to take the next step.

Just attended the AXIOM PPC workshop and just when I thought I couldn't be more impressed, they put on the most informative, impressive, well-formatted and well-managed workshop. I’m so proud to be an AXIOM grad!

I have taken two classes with Axiom and just came home from the PPC weekend workshop in Boca Raton. I would highly recommend Axiom for help with passing your CPT exam, starting your business and helping you build a network with others in this work. A 5-Star experience!!

I just completed the 2-Day Practical Programming & Coaching Workshop at Axiom Fitness Academy and it proved to be invaluable to me as a newly certified trainer. Most of us get little to no on-hands preparation for assessing clients and building programs. I highly recommend this course and think this workshop should be a requirement for ALL personal trainers!

The 2-day in-person PPC Workshop was just so valuable! Meeting Coach Drake, David, and Damien in person gave me the chance to learn from trainers with different styles, insights, and experiences. Their expertise set a new standard for the kind of trainer I want to be.
