Program Description:
If you're really into staying fit and healthy, why not train and inspire others to follow your lead?
As a student, you'll study courses in exercise sciences, anatomy and physiology, nutrition, principles of fitness, training with weights, exercise physiology, athletic injuries, and personal training. Additionally, you'll learn the valuable business skills that you'll need to start a successful career in fitness club management, or how to manage a club of your own.
As a student, you'll get great hands-on practical experience at Fanshawe's on-site fitness centre. You'll also get two extensive on-site work experiences at one of the employers or community partners of the program.
After you graduate, you can find employment with existing commercial and non-for-profit fitness agencies, rehabilitation services, government oriented fitness programs, agencies serving youth, and many others.
If you're interested in furthering your studies, the program will also give you a great foundation to pursue a degree in kinesiology or nutrition.
There are also several articulations in place that give you a head-start on a university degree or a second college diploma!
One of the transfer agreements is with Hartpury College in Gloucester, England. This opportunity will enable Fanshawe College Fitness and Health Promotion graduates to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Sports Studies in just one year of studies after graduating from Fanshawe College.
