FASCIAL FITNESS
TRAINING COURSE

Raise your professional skills to a new level and improve your fascial sense of movement with this hybrid course suitable for all fitness and movement professionals. Become an expert in the field with a holistic approach to fascial training.

The Fascial Fitness Training Certificate Course gives you a proven set of basic principles as well as the practical application of each principle. These basic skills can be applied to any movement discipline. To receive a Fascial Fitness Certificate, you must complete the online educational series and attend a virtual (or live) training session with a Master Trainer who will supervise specific exercises and principles to ensure comprehension. Your certification is then valid for two years.
