CFSC’s goal is to raise the standards of personal trainers and strength coaches in the fitness industry. They do this by requiring all applicants to attend an in-person practical event, as well as pass a live practical exam showcasing their ability to give effective coaching cues, properly demonstrate the exercises and have an understanding of progressions and regressions.
