FitPro 101
Interested in a career as a personal trainer or group fitness instructor?
If you are not currently certified but are looking to gain more education and experience, Sun Devil Fitness offers FitPro101. FitPro 101 consists of extensive practical and theoretical training, including anatomy and kinesiology, exercise physiology, biomechanics, exercise psychology, exercise techniques, safety and injury prevention, and liability information. This course includes classroom learning and hands-on practical application. Study materials are provided.

Upon completion of the course, ASU students are eligible to interview for Devil-X group exercise instructor and/or personal trainer positions.
