The course is divided into two parts:

(1) Setting The Scene
(2) Putting It Into Practice

Part 1 investigates many of the key identified causes and consequences of obesity. It discusses the factors which the fitness professional should be aware of when consulting with a client who has obesity.

Part 2 looks at what you can do to resolve deleterious factors identified in Part 1, in your capacity as a fitness professional. We explain how to design a safe and effective weight loss programme for someone with obesity, and develop this further with advanced exercise assessment and prescription providing you with an extensive toolkit for use in practice. For the client with obesity, there are many behind-the-scenes aspects of their condition which can significantly influence your relationship and their successful weight loss and fitness improvement.
