Exercise Program Leadership

Group exercise programs have always been a popular, fun way to motivate people to begin and adhere to a variety of exercise programs. Acquire the knowledge needed to become a more confident and inspiring group exercise leader!

The Exercise Program Leadership course provides information designed to develop leadership and technical skills to offer group exercise programs that are safe and effective. These group classes could be delivered in garrison or deployed, indoors and outdoors, and with and without equipment.

Exercise Program Leadership includes classroom lectures with live instructors as well as practical application of drills and routines. Each course participant will receive a Cooper Institute Manual, and must complete written and practical tests.

Participants will need current CPR certification and must pass the written and practical tests in order to receive a Cooper Institute Certificate.
