PT Academy, Europe’s leading and largest fitness education company, is joining forces with world leader in body composition monitoring equipment Tanita to develop an unprecedented body composition course.

The first course of its kind and available exclusively to qualified PTs, the programme helps fitness professionals lead the pack in applying an innovative approach in helping their clients reach their ultimate health and fitness potential. Alongside learning how to build body composition analysis into their business plan and positively impacting recruitment and retention.

Combining Tanita’s extensive expertise and leadership in providing body composition technology equipment and PT Academy’s innovative approach in creating the new wave of elite PTs, the course will provide PTs and fitness professionals with knowledge, skills and edge to take their client’s progression to the next level.

Tracking body composition has garnered massive interest in recent years, in particular within the fitness industry and the technology is now prevalent in hundreds of facilities.

Through accurate measurement and tracking of changes in fat, muscle and water, health and fitness professionals can provide effective interventions for the success of a training or nutritional programme for themselves and their clients.

Understanding how the technology works and the importance of metrics such as these in the process of achieving one’s goals is paramount to developing the ideal body composition for your health, fitness or sport.

This exclusive course covers all elements of body composition analysis, from how the technology works to how you can utilise the many clinical and medical applications with a range whole of clients.

 PT Academy focuses on providing expert education to PTs and is the only fitness education company to use active PTs as part of its delivery team. Tanita will work with PT Academy to extend its scientific approach to body composition testing with leading-edge science.

Simon Wilkinson, sport and fitness lead for Tanita said: “Body composition analysis is now more prevalent than ever within the fitness industry, but the knowledge of how the technology works and how to get the most out of it as a health and fitness professional, is limited within the sector.

“Tanita wanted to work with another world-leading provider to develop a comprehensive and thought-provoking and accessible course for all the health and fitness industry.”

Adam Kiani, founder and CEO of PT Academy, commented: “Personal training is about education, motivation and achievement – once you understand your client’s body you can work smarter, not harder, to get the best results with the right exercise and nutrition.

“We’re committed to being pioneers in personal training and Tanita’s body composition science and related testing is a massive step forward in first-class training.”
