 Mind
Body Fitness Specialist
Can-Fit-Pro is excited to announce a partnership between
Fusion Fitness Training and our certification program to
create Mind Body Fitness Specialist (MBS).
Candidates who wish to become certified
as a Mind Body Fitness Specialist (MBS) attend Fusion Fitness
Training and complete the certification exam. To be eligible
for certification in Mind Body Fitness, candidates must
possess a current base level certification as a fitness
instructor or personal trainer.
 What
is Fusion Fitness?
Fusion Fitness Training is a non-purist approach to traditional
forms of training. It is a blend of Yoga, Pilates and Fitness
Conditioning that challenges strength, balance & flexibility,
increases stamina, focuses the mind and cleanses the spirit.
This training program is designed to teach
fitness professionals how to integrate mind/body activities
into their fitness programs. The program presents specific
techniques based on a selection of exercises and postures.
The approach is centred on physiology, biomechanics, joint
safety, modifications and adaptations of the more traditional
forms of mind/body training.
