[ PRODUCT PROFILE ] EXERCISE ETC PROVIDES MULTIPLE CONTINUING EDUCATION OPTIONS EARN YOUR CE’S VIA LIVE CLASSES, HOME STUDY OR ONLINE BY GUY ANDREWS The personal ﬁtness industry is a very young profession, and for many ﬁtness professionals, this may be your ﬁrst experience training in a depressed, perhaps recessionary, economy. You can’t let your certiﬁcation lapse, but as time and money get tighter, gas gets more expensive and you have less free time, maximizing your continuing education investment takes on a new priority. For 15 years, we at Exercise ETC have been providing the ﬁtness professional with aﬀordable, accessible continuing education programs across the US. You can earn your CE’s very aﬀordably without the hassle of air travel or the expense of a road trip, often in the privacy of your own home or oﬃce. ➤ Exercise ETC faculty receives an award for “Excellence in Education” from Dr. Anthony Abbott of The Fitness Institute. Back row: Dr. Irv Rubenstein, Guy Andrews, Dr. Brian Silbon, Scott Josephson, Chris Marino. Front row: Donna Kauchak, Marta Josephson, Bunny Cotter, Dr. Ginger Patterson. LIVE TRAINING COURSES — You can choose courses in weight management, senior ﬁtness, exercise for chronic diseases and more. And since these programs are oﬀered in small venues across the US, you can enjoy what we call the “boutique education” experience: small class sizes, convenient training venues (generally in suburban locations that oﬀer interstate access and free parking) and the ability to take as many or as few classes as you like, depending on your schedule and budget. And because chances are we oﬀer a program close to you, you’ll save on travel costs. HOME STUDY — Exercise ETC oﬀers dozens of home study courses, allowing you to earn your CE’s from the privacy of your home or oﬃce.

And since we oﬀer instant grading, you no longer have to wait for your test results or certiﬁcate of completion. Our home study series ensures you can keep your certiﬁcation current without missing work, rescheduling clients or worrying about child care. WEBINARS — The newest addition to our continuing education programs is our webinar series. These live classes conducted in real time over the Internet oﬀer full interaction with the workshop presenter as well as the opportunity to earn CE’s from the convenience of your PC or laptop.
