Establish a ground base for the program with a creativity screening and measurements such as blood pressure and heart rate, then set SMART goals and address impairments with corrective action.
Learn to conduct a fitness assessment, including body measurements (waist location, tape), resting heart rate, and tests of strength endurance and core function. Integrate results into a performance training plan.
Demonstrate overhead squat assessment through a video demonstration, highlight protraction and shoulder positioning, and coach self-checks to ensure proper back grounding and posture.
Learn a four-step corrective exercise sequence—inhibition with foam rolling to release myofascial tightness, followed by isolated activation, neural re-education, and full-body integration to improve alignment and efficiency.
Pronation distortion corrective exercise identifies tender spots in the lower leg, uses 30–45 second stretches of gastrocnemius-soleus, then single-leg balance and functional moves to activate muscles and improve neuromuscular coordination.
Correct knees moving inward with a video-guided corrective routine, stretching the gastrocnemius, soleus, and hamstrings with 30–45 second holds. Strengthen and lengthen with three sets of ten, preventing compensation.
Address excessive forward lean through corrective exercises focused on mobility stretches held 30–45 seconds, plus a single-leg bridge and shoulder and back alignment cues.
Develop arms fall forward corrective exercise to address rotator cuff imbalances through doorway stretches, static holds for 30–45 seconds, and full-body integrating movements to correct postural impairments.
Explore stabilization training to develop core stability, static and dynamic balance, and progressive exercises that improve joint stability and functional performance.
Watch this warm-up exercise instruction video to learn practical movements for fitness and rehab specialists. It demonstrates walking motions, squats, and team-based demonstrations across different settings to ensure proper form.
Practice a safe cool-down with targeted stretches for the back, neck, biceps, and triceps, including recommended hold times to enhance flexibility and recovery.
Develop stabilization and power through phase 2 stabilization-power exercises, train muscles to store energy and react, using simulated movements rather than pushing.
Phase 2 stabilization-strength exercises guide safe practice, address key danger, and illustrate test readiness for rehab specialists in the optimum fitness system.
Focuses on phase 2 stabilization-balance exercise, guiding you through a stabilization pose at 130 degrees with the chest high for about 30 seconds.
Explore phase 2 stabilization and core exercises, focusing on proper form, breath, and controlled holds to prevent unwinding and enhance torso stability for fitness and rehab specialists.
Phase 2 focuses on stabilization, speed, agility, and quickness through a guided exercise video, using a simple counting sequence from one to nine to pace reps.
Strength training builds muscle and strengthens connective tissues while increasing bone density and resting metabolic rate, supporting energy, diabetes management, and safe daily exercise for all ages.
Phase 3 delivers strength-power training, beginning with a straight section and immediately following ten strength exercises with ten power movements, including push-ups, to build athletic capacity.
Phase 3 strengthens your rehab-focused training with an instructional video on strength-strength exercises. Demonstrations emphasize stable form, knee alignment, ball drop variations, and one-arm row movements.
In phase 3, the strength-balance exercise instruction video covers the balance section and demonstrates one-for-one practice.
Learn phase 3 strength-core exercise instruction, focusing on shoulder alignment and spine stability during core movements. Use cues to check your shoulder and maintain proper alignment throughout the routine.
Target strength, speed, agility, and quickness in Phase 3 training through practical exercise instruction videos for fitness and rehab specialists.
Power training uses reactive exercises to boost speed, balance, and strength, guiding clients from balance and strength work to rapid, safe responses through a systematic, progressive program.
Phase 4 power exercise instruction video guides explosive jumps, rapid jumps, and using the reaction force to challenge power while protecting the lower back.
Phase 4 presents a power-base string exercise, emphasizing chest-up posture and controlled ice-skater style hops to build power and strength.
Master phase 4 power-balance exercise instruction to optimize fitness and rehab outcomes, applying precise balance techniques and progression strategies for clients.
Demonstrates phase 4 power-core exercises, focusing on keeping a straight line and building strength within the program.
Demonstrates power-speed drills for phase 4, emphasizing the start position and clean direction changes. Uses streamlined coaching cues to reduce teaching interactions while guiding fast, agile movements.
Create a mindful program design that starts with safe baseline measurements, addresses impairments, and progresses through stability, strength, power, and specific goals for optimal functional movement.
The Optimum Fitness System (OFS) educational course is designed for any individual involved in health, fitness, and performance training as well as rehabilitation specialists (physical therapists, athletic trainers, etc.). The OFS is a comprehensive program designed in a systematic and progressive fashion to allow for fitness and rehabilitation specialists to ensure a both safe and progressive program design, including; how to conduct a Pre-Activity Screening and Fitness Assessment, assess for movement impairments and how to prescribe corrective exercises based on the noted impairments, core and joint stabilization training, strength and power training, and the concepts of sport specificity.
The OFS educational program is provided in various educational formats. Lectures are provided in video format. The OFS Program Design Manual follows along the systematic and progressive program describing in further details what is reviewed in the video lectures. The manual also contains all of the templates needed, from the Pre-Activity Screening to Monthly Training Log. A word document of all the templates is provided as well allowing for any adjustments students would like to make. For example, the student may choose to remove the “Power-Up” logo and add their own, truly making this course an immediate “Turn Key” business opportunity.
The OFS educational program covers a great deal of “hands-on” training activities. It is recommended that the student have another participant with them in order to practice the activities reviewed. This may assist with better understanding and long term memory development of each technique. To further ensure an enhanced knowledge base a quiz is provided at the end of each section. Depending on the students level of experience this course may take anywhere from 2-4 hours.
Whether you’re looking to start an immediate and complete personal training business or hoping to enhance your current knowledge base this course is for you.
