Sage Institute of Fitness partners with Australian Institute of Kettlebells

Sage Institute of Fitness and the Australian Institute of Kettlebells have announced a partnership that will see fitness students graduate with a ‘Master Functional Trainer’ certificate.

Mindful that an increasing number of fitness businesses now have functional training zones, classes and philosophies, the certificate aims to equip students with another level of skill and knowledge to take with them into their careers.

Explaining that the industry demands that fitness professionals be equipped with the skills and knowledge around mobility, rehabilitation, battling ropes, barbells, powerbags and suspension training, Australian Institute of Kettlebell Director Dan Henderson comments “Sage has positioned itself as the leader in the delivery of fitness education. They are designing and delivering the most current, innovative and progressive diplomas within the fitness industry.

“We wanted to partner with leaders and be a part of a qualification that is a world first. There is great alignment between our values and visions as we endeavor to produce a ‘new breed of trainer’ that is equipped with world class education and knowledge.”

All Sage Institute of Fitness courses require face-to-face learning delivered on campus by trainers with real-life experience. Students also have to participate in a compulsory 120 hour work placement putting their skills and learnings into practice and allowing them to build a network outside their course.

Sage’s Training Manager Andre Sammut adds “we are all about innovation at Sage and ensuring our courses evolve to keep up-to-date with the latest fitness trends and industry needs.

“By partnering with Australian Institute of Kettlebells, our students will graduate with an even greater knowledge and skillset to start their fitness careers”.
