Program Description:

Fitness and Health Promotion is a two-year diploma program taught at our Daphne Cockwell Centre for Health Sciences located at the Waterfront Campus. For over 40 years, this program has been preparing highly qualified fitness professionals for a variety of employment opportunities. The program combines physical activity techniques with classroom theory (including subjects like anatomy, physiology and nutrition), and has earned a strong reputation among employers because our graduates are well equipped from both an academic and applied standpoint.

This program is challenging and our experience shows the most successful students:

  • participate in physical activity and      exercise

  • want to learn to lead individual and group      exercise activities

  • are interested in helping others achieve      health and fitness goals

  • have good time management skills and are      self-disciplined

  • are willing to spend extra time outside of      assigned class/lab time to develop strong practical skills

  • know why they want to take this program

Human anatomy and physiology provide the scientific foundation for advanced courses in biomechanics, injury prevention, chronic disease prevention and healthy aging.

Students also learn applied skills in the areas of:

  • health screening

  • fitness assessment

  • exercise prescription, demonstration and modification

  • counselling healthy active living

  • group exercise leadership

  • interprofessional collaboration
