SBS Academy

We’ll keep this short and sweet – you’ve no doubt seen too many badly-written sales pages from people claiming they’ve got some secret ‘hack’ to fitness success. You’re here because you’re wondering how the SBS Academy will help you – let us explain.

We carefully crafted our flagship, year-long course around some concepts that are “non-negotiables” for us:

1. The SBS Academy will make you a better Personal Trainer, coach, or a more knowledgeable trainee.
2. The SBS Academy has exceptional tutors who are compassionate, authentic and utterly devoted to improving your abilities.
3. The SBS Academy allows for distance learning, which allows you to learn in your own time from anywhere in the world.

Academy students get an entire year of tuition and support from the Shredded By Science Team, Eric Helms and Dr Mike Zourdos.

Over the course of that year, you’ll be taught 4 modules covering everything you need to confidently stand on your own two feet as a Personal Trainer in any setting:

Module 1: Foundations of Personal Training

Tutor(s): Team SBS

Duration: 18 weeks plus a 2-week exam period 

Module 2: Coaching for Physique Athletes
