FIT – Weight Loss Specialist (WLS)

Imagine adding WLS behind your name and telling the world you are an expert at losing weight and keeping it off.

Take your love of fitness and helping others and expand it with the new Weight Loss Specialization – the perfect complement. With the WLS, proudly elevate yourself above other personal trainers by learning to apply exercise programs specifically for clients trying to lose weight. Exercise and diet can get your clients’ weight off, but only the secrets of WLS can help them change their lives.

In this workshop, you’ll learn to apply the physiology and psychology of weight loss, nutrition, exercise guidelines, and relevant assessments to design weight loss exercise programs for clients ranging from moderately overweight to morbidly obese.

With the WLS, you’ll have a clear-cut advantage to promote your expertise to clients who are ready to make a change. This includes the more than half of health club members who are there trying to lose or maintain their weight. You’ll immediately start using what you’ve learned in the workshop to meet the needs of clients-whether they need to lose a little or a lot, or to maintain their weight loss achievements. You’ll be able to successfully facilitate these goals by applying the most up-to-date and respected guidelines and training methodologies.
