NETWORK COMMUNITY NETWORK INTRODUCES NEW FUNCTIONAL TRAINING COURSES If you were to name one of the top fitness trends of the past decade, functional training would surely be up there. Unlike some trends, however, functional fitness has become a mainstay of many facilities’ group fitness timetables, as well as many PT’s client programming. Ramping up its existing library of content that addresses this mode of training, Australian Fitness Network has added a huge seven new courses, in association with renowned industry training provider Functional Training Institute. Delivered entirely online, and all approved for CECs/CPDs, the courses cover mobility, kettlebells, suspension training, battle ropes and functional bag training theory, techniques, exercises and progressions. Commenting on the new additions to Network’s extensive course offerings, Network Leader Katrina Cochrane said “It’s fantastic to partner with such reputable course creators in order to offer our Members the very best in functional training upskilling”. The courses can be purchased individually or in bundles – including the complete 7-course package, accredited for a total of 25 CEC/CPDs – and, as always, Network Members receive special rates.
