Workshops ATTENTION ACE PROFESSIONALS - ACE Approved Course Range of Motion Testing for Certified Personal Trainers (0.6 CECs) Desk Jockey Fitness is pleased to offer all American Council on Exercise certified personal training professionals a chance to enhance their professional skills as well as earn 0.6 continuing education credits towards your recertification. Location:
Desk Jockey Fitness Studio,
10700 Kettering Dr., Charlotte, NC 28226 Course Description: For many clients, particularly older adults, joint range of motion is often times a higher priority than muscle strength and endurance. Without an appropriate level of flexibility, client’s agility, speed, endurance and strength training may be putting the client at risk of injury. This workshop is ideal for personal trainers who work with clients who are thirty years and older in age. Objectives: 1. Students will be able to assess range of motion of major joints using reliable and standardized testing methods. 2. Students will be able to develop and instruct an appropriate stretching program based on the client’s actual flexibility deficits. 3. Students will understand why stretching and strength training all muscles indiscriminately may not be in their clients’ best interests. 4. Students will learn how to modify a client’s strength conditioning program when working with hyper-mobile clients.

I was impressed with the effects of the simple exercises. Dave takes time explaining why my abdominal exercises are often not effective. He stresses the importance of proper breathing, good eating habits, and correct posture. Exercises can be difficult but Dave made them interesting by using up-to-date equipment. I now can work toward my fitness goals knowing that I am using good judgment. Thanks Dave. Danell Russell, Retired Dave, I enjoyed your [abdominal] workshop very much! I learned a tremendous amount and was eager to learn from someone who really knows what he's talking about. I was glad to stay until 9pm (2 hours past scheduled end time) and would have stayed longer if you had kept on teaching. I spend a lot of time at the gym with other trainers who only care about how they look in the mirror, and not truly about their health. Dana Hamilton, Certified Personal Trainer Valerie and I had no idea what exactly to expect from your workshop, so we were very impressed at the amount of information we were able to gain, while having a lot of fun too! We look forward to the balance class and Valerie is psyched about the upcoming women's upper body class. It was quite an eye-opening evening, in many respects. We learnt a great deal from you and can tell that you are both very passionate about all things anatomical and health-and-fitness related... Scott Muenger
The workshops that you provide have
been very informative and I am now beginning to see the light at the end
of the tunnel on how the core really ties to everything that a person
does. Look forward to see your next workshop!
