Ithaca College

This program, offered by the Division of Continuing Education and Summer Sessions, is designed to increase the competence of professionals conducting exercise programs for healthy clients and for people with controlled disease.

The program is comprised of three components: the Health/Fitness Instructor Workshop – May 6 and 7; the Weight Management for the Fitness Professional CEC Seminar – May 8; and the ACSM Health/Fitness Instructor Certification Examination – two offerings May 8 or 9.

The faculty who lead the HFI workshop, Gary Sforzo, professor, exercise and sport science; Frank Micale, clinical associate professor, exercise and sport science; Betsy Keller, professor, exercise and sport science, are certified by the American College of Sport Medicine and are experts in health and fitness. Lectures are designed to conform to ACSM learning objectives and lab practicums emphasize mastery of techniques evaluated by the practical questions on the ACSM exam.

Gain a competitive edge over your competition by better understanding the potential of exercise as a weight management intervention while earning additional ACSM continuing education credits through the one-day bonus Weight Management seminar.

A unique feature of this program is the opportunity to take the ACSM certification examination on-site immediately following the workshop. The exam will be offered twice: once on Monday evening and again on Tuesday morning.
