The certificate prepares students to implement successful business systems in the following settings:  private and commercial health clubs, medically-based fitness facilities, community wellness centers, personal training studios, physical therapy clinics, YMCA’s, JCC’s, college/university centers, recreational settings, and corporate fitness centers.  A unique aspect of the program is the optional field internship experience which enables students to practice fitness management concepts in a real life health and fitness setting.
