I wish more people were exposed to the important of flexibility and how it fits in with the rest of their training program.
The demonstrations of the exercises on the DVD were excellent.
I’m very impressed at how easy and safe the routines are. I learned new stretches that I didn’t even consider before and so many ways of incorporating the stability ball. I will use these stretches with confidence knowing that they are appropriate for all fitness levels.
Very informative. I learned new technics and information. I will apply all of it. VERY informative and DVD and CD are great to follow.
I like the idea of using the stability ball for an easy glide through stretching movements. Clients who don’t enjoy traditional stretching routines seem to enjoy the addition of the ball, so it’s one more training variation I can offer.
Many new stretches that I did not know and will be using myself. I will incorporate all of the stretches and will be using all of them myself and with friends. Great training! I wish I hadn’t waited so long to look at it. Thank you.
Knowledge of how to use the ball to enhance flexibility and confidence in my stretching skills. I appreciate that this course is available it will help my parents tremendously, and they will trust me more with a certification. Thank you.
The instruction CD manual provides excellent guidelines and commentary for each stretch and will be an excellent reference in the future. Also the DVD will be an excellent instructional resource for me to use with clients.
Excellent Program! I will recommend this program to my fitness staff. Thank you.
This has inspired me to incorporate several G BALL exercises in my class.
I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the training materials. I found them easy to use, allowing the training to move along efficiently, yet was comprehensive. The CD is a great resource. I found the instructions complete and easy to follow. I would purchase GMP Fitness Training again.
This program really helped my health and fitness business to become a better trainer to help my clients in other ways. By helping my clients with there Flexibility.
A good sense of the impact that flexibility and G ball use can have on my daily routine and friends. This will help with my routine and for friends/family that I provide recommendations to. Very enjoyable.
New ideas and strategies for for delivering quality training to my clients. Many of the routines can and will be incorporated into training. I would recommend it.
I’m excited about this course! I can use it in my advanced classes and with my senior population. One of the best home study courses I have purchased.
Taught me how to take this course material and use it on the average person for their everyday lives. Whether you are a athlete or a older person looking to stay healthy this course teaches you a lot. I will use this course in my everyday work clinic.
New ways to stretch muscles that are difficult to stretch. Help clients learn the flexibility routines to use at home on a regular basis.
The importance of flexibility and how it can make a big difference in any training program. Sharing this knowledge with my clients and teaching them the proper way of being flexible when it comes to fitness. Awesome Course!
Proper flexibility assessment, shin and hip deep stretches. Will incorporate a flexibility assessment and add many of the stretches to my cool down. Great course, clear and concise material.
I gained learning proper techniques on flexibility and stretching. I will take all my clients through a full range of motion through stretching. GMP Fitness Rocks!!!
I gained a better appreciation for the importance of incorporating flexibility exercises into an overall health and conditioning plan. I will first utilize some of the exercises and concepts myself as a relatively healthy, but aging baby boomer. Excellent course. Thanks!
Familiar with lots of stretches already, but lots of great new stretches involving the stability ball I wasn’t aware of/unfamiliar with. Will be great to add into warmups and cool downs. Stretching and flexibility plays a key role in posture and life. It is very common for trainers to over look flexibility and stretching and that mistake can increases clients risk of injury. Another Great Course by GMP, looking forward to going through this material over and over to get more familiar with stretches and getting better at what I do. Thanks GMP.
I appreciate having 3 routines, from beginner through advanced, identified in the course, as well as the charts I can use to track participant performance. Extremely helpful! I have many cancer survivors who are dealing with cancer related fatigue. They need to be active, but structured exercises are too much when they are fatigued. The stretching programs are ideal for them. Very clear DVD instructions.
I have learned new techniques to help clients stretch safely and effectively using the G Ball. I will use the techniques I learned. I will also use them in my own training. I am so glad that GMP creates these effective, helpful online courses.
I would recommend this course to anyone. The material is easy to follow and thorough. I was very impressed with the customer service when I had problems trouble shooting with my computer. Thank you, Gina, for all your help!!!
I have gained, and reinforced, many important stretching and anatomical concepts as a result of taking this course. As appropriate, I will suggest and demonstrate to my clients the various stretches included in this course. I greatly admire the complete, yet succinct, exposition of the various stretches and concepts, as well as the brisk pace, and highly organized presentation, characteristic of the instructor.
It provides me with further insight to proper form with stretching. The importance to maintaining flexibility and provide quality movement combined with stretching. The client assessment sheets are of industry standards and become a useful tool for me to use to gage the progress of my clients. Range of motion is necessary at any age however, as the body ages the range becomes less because the stretching becomes more uncomfortable for the aging client. Thus the decline in movement comes into play. By providing our clients with easy and non threatening stretching and movement to incorporate stretching the client feels confident and is more willing to not only stretching during their sessions with me, but I can provide them an at home stretching routine they can do comfortably on their own. This then in turn allows me to go back to their assessment sheets to show them their continued progress in their stretching and range of motion. I have always focused on mobility first then they can enhance their movement.
I have returned to GMP Fitness programs over two CEU time periods, I like the direct delivery of the training. All clients need to keep a well rounded training program and the stability /G Ball is a grrrrreat way to cross train. Thank you for putting together these excellent programs.
As with all GMP courses, it improved my knowledge and gave me many more avenues in which to teach and train. As a personal trainer and a fitness instructor I can apply what I learned to create better classes and a broader scope of the body for my students and clients very applicable to my senior clientele from 50 up! Enjoyed taking this course as I always enjoy learning and the information was concise and well designed.
Seems as though it’s much better to stretch with a G Ball. Stretching is extremely important for better joint mobility. I will apply by showing each and every client will be shown at least 23 new G Ball stretches for each training session. Appreciate all the pics and easy to understand demo pics/videos.
