HEY YOU AT THE BACK ... GREAT QUESTION A Nutrition Coach works with a more general clientele to develop strategies that address issues like obesity, body composition, aging, and lifestyle approaches to disease management. A Sports Nutrition Coach digs a little deeper, working specifically with athletes to educate and provide coaching around performance nutrition within sports. While these two roles differ in the audience they serve, they do work hand in hand to provide a well-rounded understanding of nutrition. To that end, our CNC course sets down an effective foundation in nutrition to build from, helping through a fundamental understanding of how to serve clients’ nutrition needs. From there, our CSNC program takes what you learn throughout CNC and builds upon it to target a specific client base to focus on strategies that impact performance and recovery.

ORM screens for hidden MVA trauma using specialty imaging (end-range stress test) not conducted anywhere in Ontario. ORM conducts medical research trials for manufacturers who sell medical devices and need licensing (international). ONTARIO RESEARCH MEDICAL GROUP O U R 3 V I S I O N S O U R D U T Y O F C A R E O U R S P I N A L C L I N I C A L V I S I O N To integrate routine Image Screening Examinations across the province in all trauma-based patients who meet the entry criteria for the test. Optimizing the x-ray examinations beyond a visual inspection will help identify trauma injuries routinely missed by standard x-ray examination. In doing so, ORM's comprehensive assessments will allow patients a safe recovery. O U R S P I N A L R E S E A R C H V I S I O N To continuously investigate, discover and expose the true nature of spinal injuries created by deceleration and vertical impact forces. As a specialty assessment clinic, the Ontario Research Medical Group (ORM) is the result of seeing the need to conduct diagnostic processes and examinations that meet the following criteria: A high etiologic specificity for trauma; Expertise and experience with deceleration forces upon the spine; A technology laboratory team that can execute x-ray examinations that are lengthy and difficult to conduct; Capable to produce an evidence-based and evidence-informed report that can objectively connect the trauma with the patient’s diagnosis, the trauma with the symptoms experienced and the diagnosis with the symptoms; Continued on-going involvement with the investigation of trauma-based injuries that do not fall within the realm of Whiplash Associated Disorder I or Minor Injuries. Thus, the ORM examination, investigative, technical and administration team are committed to the challenges of investigating injuries difficult to diagnose in order to minimize false negative examiner determinations on patients who actually suffer major injuries. ORM recognizes the importance of our research and diagnostic services as they reflect directly upon the patient’s: Health care providers who need the diagnostic information for their prescriptive care plans; Legal representatives who require objective medical evidence in order to facilitate the patient’s immediate and chronic support. Together, our efforts optimize the safety of patient care while at the same time assure the patient’s safe recovery.

For generations, we've provided those in our programs with practical skills and hands-on experience needed to inspire and motivate class participants to strive to create happier and healthier lives.

With each program, you'll learn: How to design, choreograph and lead a group fitness class. Training on modalities, including: strength and resistance, hiit and interval, boot camp, yoga, cycle and more. Essentials of exercise and physiology. Foundations of nutrition and healthy eating. How to adapt for special populations, like pregnant and senior participants. Business skills and professional responsibilities. CURRICULUM Prerequisites Do you have a passion for fitness? Are you looking to help change lives for the better? Eager to learn all you can about teaching group classes? Then you are qualified to become a Group Fitness Instructor. Our certification requires no previous experience to take and complete. We provide you with everything you need to master the material and learn how to thrive in the industry. SECTION ONE FUNDAMENTALS OF EXERCISE SCIENCE MODULE ONE: The Group Fitness Industry Learn about the state of health and fitness today. This understanding will provide insight into why your pursuit of a career in fitness will help you become so influential in improving the lives of others. MODULE TWO: Foundations of Exercise Science Helping others reach their fitness goals requires the knowledge to analyze the basics of human movement thoroughly. Biomechanics and the interactions of the muscle action spectrum provide you with the language of exercise science and a foundational understanding of the human body. MODULE THREE: The Human Movement System Armed with the basics of biomechanics, you can now begin to learn the functions of the Human Movement System (also referred to as the kinetic chain). The kinetic chain is comprised of three different, yet intimately interwoven, systems that allow our bodies to move. The knowledge related to these systems and their interactions will help you guide the individuals you work with to move safely and effectively. MODULE FOUR: Integrated Fitness Integrated fitness is the foundation for the successful development of any fitness program, combining multiple types of exercise to help participants achieve their goals. Through the application of the various components of integrated fitness, you can design safer, more effective fitness classes. SECTION TWO: CLASS DESIGN & PLANNING MODULE FIVE: Teaching Basics Using the principles of integrated fitness, you may now begin to piece together the five components of a workout for a unified class flow. Through an in-depth exploration of each of the five components (intro, movement prep, the body of the workout, transition, and outro), you can identify the various considerations for the most popular formats, including training intensities and appropriate exercise selection. MODULE SIX: Teaching: Multi-training and Exercise Technique One precious resource for an aspiring Group Fitness Instructor is a vast inventory of exercises that might be useful across multiple formats. Additionally, instructors should be familiar with the appropriate technique for each exercise they offer, as well as be prepared to offer modifications to accommodate participants' needs. MODULE SEVEN: Class Planning and Preparation After understanding integrated fitness, the components of a workout, and appropriate exercises across popular formats, instructors can apply their knowledge in the classroom. Thoughtful class planning allows instructors the opportunity to refine the intended outcomes of their classes by selecting elements such as music, equipment, and movement options to best suit their intended goals. SECTION THREE CLASS INSTRUCTION & PRESENTATION MODULE EIGHT: Adapting to Class Dynamics Instructors must do more than simply plan for their classes. They must also be prepared to encounter unexpected variables the day-of. Knowing how to respond to numerous situations, from surprise visitors to medical emergencies, will help you in your efforts to provide a safe and inclusive experience for everyone. Diligent classroom set-up can help avert complications before they begin. MODULE NINE: Communication and Learning While in-depth knowledge of proper exercise execution and workout design is essential for all Group Fitness Instructors, the test of a genuinely successful instructor lies in connecting with participants through their preferred learning styles and active cueing. Generally speaking, the best way to connect with participants is by providing participant-centered instruction that acknowledges individual needs while still serving the group. MODULE TEN: Inclusive Instruction for Special Populations Participant-centered instruction requires an understanding of the various levels of conditioning that may affect an individual’s performance in a group workout. By understanding the various considerations and modifications available, you can provide support for every participant without singling them out or sacrificing the quality of a workout. MODULE ELEVEN: Class Engagement and Motivation Effective instructors do more than offer safe movement experiences. They connect with their participants, which engages and motivates them to continue returning time and time again. By motivating every participant in a way that empowers them to meet their goals, you'll build value for your participants. SECTION FOUR NOTABLE TOPICS TO CONSIDER MODULE TWELVE: Professional and Legal Responsibilities As with any career, there are legal, ethical, and professional expectations for certified Group Fitness Instructors. Included in these expectations is the need for continued educational and experiential development, as well as methods for self-care to help you sustain and thrive. MODULE THIRTEEN: Nutrition Achieving optimal health and fitness goes beyond human movement, it also encompasses nutrition. Nutrition is an evolving and quickly changing science. As new research is conducted, new information provides fresh insights that may influence the work you do as a Group Fitness Instructor. This module will provide you the basic nutritional information you will need for discussions with participants, as well as to benefit your health and well-being. Fitness Trends Come and Go.A Group Fitness Certification is the Foundation. Group fitness formats have gained and waned in popularity through the years. With a Group Fitness Certification you'll learn foundational teaching skills, empowering you to adapt quickly and easily to new exercise formats. 1980 1990 2000 2010 2020 Dance Cardio Spinning Home Workout TaeBo Cycle Virtual Training Zumba Barre Hiit Yoga Pilates Group FitnessInstructorCertification Contact I'm always looking for new and exciting opportunities.

Testimonials are important. These special people tell you about how Better Call Doc helps them. TESTIMONIALS JASMINE AMAZING! I am now able to receive the care I need in order to control my pain which has been interfering with me working at my best as a dental hygienist. Better Call Doc has taken me from the pain control passive rehab to what I now call my spa workouts. I get my massages & personal strength workouts all-in-one session. All this at a price I can afford. Like I said...AMAZING! ALLAN WHAT A RELIEF! I'm pushing 70 and used to feel like I was pushing 90. My desk job was killing me! After only a few treatments I'm now pushing 50....that's 50 pounds for bicep hamstring curls. Seriously, treatments are affordable & specific to what you need to get rid of the pain, control the pain and for me, re-build that old wagon body of mine into a brand new Maserati. Thanks Better Call Doc! YOTELINE ONE WORD ... MAGICAL. Well, maybe a few more words. The affordability of Better Call Doc is what attracted me. My doctor recommended I get physio. Ya right. My plan barely covered 2 weeks of therapy. On the Better Call Doc Earth plan, I'm not only getting my physio treatments extended to a full year, I've progressed to exercise with the Pain Therapy Practitioners. Amazing, especially for a lazy girl like me. That's what's MAGICAL! NICOLE GOOD LUCK You will never find another clinic in Ontario that is affordable like Better Call Doc. I can see why each location has a patient maximum limit because everyone loves going there and receiving treatments. The King & Yonge location is so convenient for me too. It's right at the subway station. Very cool concept I love it.

Injury Lawyers refer patients to ORM for an end range screen using x-ray taken at any facility in the province. The screen is covered by OHIP. We work with the patient's family physician. If positive the patient is deemed 25% WPI impairment rating and is taken out of the Minor Injury Guidelines. Fact, Evidence & the Pursuit of Truth. MEDICO-LEGAL ORM’s commitment to leadership and excellence in diagnostic medicine and research is for the benefit of all Ontario patients. O r d e r o f T h i n g s A step-by-step description of how ORM's instability screens work ORM recognizes the value of discovery and our assistance to health care teams, equally, for the assurance of each patient’s safe recovery. F I R S T S T E P ORM reviews the patient's biomechanical forensics involving the accident followed by a medical history. The screening history looks for clinical markers of deep ligament injuries. Select markers are required to proceed to x-ray. S E C O N D S T E P End range neck and/or lower back x-rays are taken at any radiology centre in the Province of Ontario. The films are then read by the radiologist and by Dr. Rice at ORM. If negative, a follow-up medical history is usually indicated in 4 to 6 weeks and if symptoms persist with positive markers for instability, a follow-up x-ray screen (partial only 2 views required) may be ordered. If positive, ORM proceeds with a full assessment application persuent to SABS regulations. T H I R D S T E P A medical report is written by ORM for the patient's medical physician, rehabilitation clinic, insurer & legal teams. The report discusses the nature of the injuries, clinical recommendations, new direction for rehabilitation & prognosis. The purpose of the report is to guide everyone involved in the patient's recovery given the diagnosis in order to optimize recovery and allow the patient a chance to recover safely to a pre-accident functional status.
