Testimonials

I have recently finished taking the Synergy of Human Movement course, authored by Chris Gellert. I wanted to give you my impressions of the content of the course and the need that it fills in the continuing education of personal trainers.

I found the course to be illuminating in vital ways that have upgraded my personal training practice. In my many years of personal training I have regularly been presented with clients with various dysfunctions. I have sometimes been at a loss to know how to safely train these individuals. In my facility, where I have been employed for 23 years, there is a physical therapy practice. I have been fortunate to have access to the PT and I am able to get expert advice when I need it. But I am sure that the majority of trainers don't have this privilege. We do what we believe is best for these people but we could be far more effective if we knew what the training emphasis should be and what the contraindications for exercise are for their diagnosed conditions.

With his expertise in the physical therapy world, Chris Gellert has catalogued all the major physical dysfunctions and made them understandable. After studying this course I have a grasp of functional movement that far surpasses my previous understanding. I now also know to defer all my questions to the physical therapists and medical professionals and leave the diagnosis of dysfunctions to them. In doing so I have strengthened my professional relationships with them and gained their respect. Since taking this course I have been able to confidently train individuals whose conditions would have made me question my abilities. I can confidently accept more of these clients and at a time when some trainers are losing clientele, my schedule remains strong.

Any personal trainer would be wise to take this course to upgrade their understanding and ability to deal with the many physical limitations we face when dealing with the training public.

"I loved your course as I became certified personal trainer with AFAA back in June.  Your course was a good reason why I did so well.  The course is organized and very injury specific.  I use your information, and it is great reference . Thank you again for this vast yet comfortably digestible literature."

"I wanted to take this time to tell you how much I enjoyed your weekend seminar at Rockville. I have been training for 7 years now and over the last few months I have been loosing my spark and drive with training. After this weekend I feel rejuvenated and have my spark back. Your course challenged me and made me think deeper. I have already used many new things I've learned at your course and it has helped me to sell a 48 session package to someone who has MS because I feel more confident and knowledgeable"

"I have been in the personal training area since 1992 and have attended a fair amount of workshops, did many home study course and have reviewed quite a few courses and feel that the information that Chris provided is invaluable. This very complex information is presented in a concise manner that enhances the reader's retention. I strongly believe that there is a void in the Continuing Education arena for this science based information and exercise prescription for personal trainers. This course also discusses, in great detail, sport specific training modalities that become better understood due to the science behind the movement of the human body. This course was a pleasure to review and I strongly recommend it."
