This course gives you the confidence to implement effective infection control practices tailored to the unique needs of your fitness setting.

Testimonials
Discover how our course is making a difference for pole and aerial instructors like you
Delicate Topics Handled Brilliantly with the section on how to approach students about personal hygiene was worth the course alone. I had always dreaded that kind of conversation, but the step-by-step guidance helped me deal with a recent situation calmly and professionally and the student genuinely appreciated how I handled it. This course gave me the confidence to tackle the awkward stuff with kindness and clarity.

Like most people, after COVID-19, I was constantly second-guessing whether I was doing enough to keep my equipment clean. This course gave me clear, up-to-date advice that actually applies to pole and aerial settings, not just generic gym info. Highly recommend for peace of mind.
