The Profession

The field of personal training is one of the fastest growing professions. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, growth in the field of fitness training is expected to out pace growth in all professions for at least the next ten years. The career opportunities are diverse ranging from gyms and health clubs to in-home personal training.

Our Training Philosophy

The Providence Institute incorporates the latest scientific research combined with time-tested methods to give you the tools you need to help your clients reach their goals and develop a love of exercise. We strongly emphasize functional training.

Functional training develops strength, flexibility, and balance that convert to increased proficiency in daily activities, enhanced athletic performance, and is the best method for preventing the injuries and conditions that can be encountered with aging.

We believe that the best personal trainers are also educators. We equip all our graduates with the skills to not only develop effective exercise programs but to also be an ongoing resource for fitness knowledge.

Program Format

We offer 4-month part-time programs with January and July start dates and 8-week full-time intensive programs with May and October start dates.
