Speaker: Remi Vanecht
Assisted stretching has become one of the fastest-growing service categories in fitness, with dedicated stretch studios scaling into the hundreds of locations and major gym chains building stretch programs into multi-million dollar revenue lines. The demand is clear: clients want recovery delivered as a service, not just advice. In this hands-on workshop, Rémi introduces the Hyperice Assisted Stretching Protocol, a structured method that combines practitioner-assisted stretching with Hypervolt percussion technology to improve range of motion, accelerate recovery, and create a premium client experience. Coaches will practice the core techniques on each other, learn how to structure a 25 to 50 minute assisted stretch session, and leave with a clear picture of how to package, price and sell recovery as a standalone service alongside their training offer, plus the pathway to get certified in the protocol.
GLP-1 drugs: Our Fat Loss Saviour?
Speaker: Benjamin Siong
Medications known as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) are promoted for their ability to accelerate weight loss beyond traditional diet and exercise methods. Among them, Ozempic®️, endorsed by celebrities, has emerged as a sought-after solution for shedding excess fat. However, the question remains: what are the potential physical and mental health implications of these drugs, and can they serve as a substitute for physical training in achieving a leaner physique? In this seminar, we’ll delve into the latest scientific findings on GLP-1 medications and their effects on the body. We’ll also explore how they interact with exercise regimens and discuss the crucial role personal trainers can play in guiding clients considering these options.

Shoulder Kinetic Chain Integration: Fixing the Overhead Athlete and Weekend Warrior
Speaker: Marty Miller
This session explores shoulder health as a coordinated kinetic-chain function rather than an isolated glenohumeral issue. Participants will learn how thoracic spine extension, scapular upward rotation, core stability, and glute engagement work together to support efficient overhead movement and reduce discomfort. Through practical thoracic and scapular assessments, high-yield positional drills, and progressive corrective strategies, attendees will learn how to identify movement breakdowns, improve restricted overhead mobility, address common causes of shoulder impingement, and restore efficient multi-planar coordination for both athletes and active individuals.
Train Like an Athlete: Performance Principles for All Levels
Speaker: Benjamin Siong
Most clients aren’t elite athletes—but they still run, jump and compete like ones. The problem? Their training rarely prepares them for it. This seminar gives you the foundations every recreational athlete (and athlete) needs: how to use the general prep phase to spot mobility issues, movement flaws, and injury risks before they show up in sport. You’ll learn the essentials of posterior chain power, explosive concentric work, and building muscular strength through angles and various strength curves—the real engines behind speed, deceleration, and force. We’ll also cover why “sport-mimicking” exercises often fail, and what actually transfers to better performance. If your clients want to run faster, hit harder, jump higher, and stay injury-free in their sport, this seminar gives you the blueprint.

Cold therapy technologies and programming that actually fit your clients’ Lives
Speaker: Remi Vanecht
Cold therapy has never been more popular, or more misunderstood. Between social media hype and conflicting headlines, coaches are left guessing about what cold exposure actually does, when it helps, and when it quietly works against their clients’ goals. In this evidence-led session, Rémi breaks down the real science of cold on human performance: the physiological mechanisms, the proven benefits for recovery, mood and resilience, and the critical timing rules most protocols ignore (including when cold can blunt strength and muscle adaptations). He then tackles the real-world problem: most clients will not drive to a recovery center three times a week. The session closes with a practical implementation ladder, from targeted contrast therapy with Hyperice Contrast 2, to cold showers on demand with Silient, to full immersion at home with HomePlunge, so coaches can program cold exposure that survives contact with a busy client’s schedule.
Strength From the Inside Out: Intra-Abdominal Pressure Creation, Training, and Integration
Speaker: Adam Jongsma
Whether looking to maximize strength, move pain-free, reduce risk of injury, or a combination of the three, an understanding of how your body creates intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is essential. Within this session we will explore at how to assess IAP, train it, and integrate it into various movement patterns. Attendees will leave with the ability to integrate these concepts into their training and the training of clients
