What you’ll be certified in.

Tight hips, stiff shoulders, a back that aches after a day at a desk. The trainers who can do something about it get rebooked, and their clients feel the difference before the session ends.

Our course gets you certified in advanced stretching, so stretching becomes something you build into every session, or sell as a session of its own.

You’ll earn a certificate in Advanced Stretching. It covers the main types of stretching and when to use each, stretch progressions, equipment-assisted stretching, stretching matrices, programming stretching into training, and complementary strategies that support it.

Your certificate is issued by TRAINFITNESS.

CIMSPA recognises this course as continuing professional development. CIMSPA is the chartered professional body for UK sport and physical activity, and they’ve awarded us their highest provider rating: ‘Enhancing’.

You’ll need to hold a Level 2 fitness instructing qualification. The practical elements are hands-on.

You’ll upload your portfolio. How and where you complete your practical depends on how you study — see Three ways to get certified.

You’ll need a Level 2 fitness instructing qualification. You don’t need any previous stretching experience: the course starts with the types of stretching and builds from there. The practical elements are hands-on.

To start our advanced stretching course, you’ll need a Level 2 fitness instructing qualification. Just send us a copy of your certificate when you enrol.

The main types of stretching and when to use each, how to progress stretches and use equipment, how to programme stretching into your clients’ training using stretching matrices, and complementary strategies that support it.

A practical assessment and a portfolio. How and where you complete the practical depends on how you study: on your Training & Assessment Day for In-Person and Live-Virtual™, or on video with a client for Distance.

The splits aren’t the goal of the course. It teaches you how to improve your clients’ range of movement safely, with the right types of stretching, progressions and equipment.

Your completed portfolio, and clothes you can move and stretch in.
