   Certification companies should recognize this course for all health and fitness professionals. The course “Enzyme Nutrition for Wellness” is an excellent course that provides great knowledge to a personal trainer.

   I thought I had an idea of what enzymes were. When growing up, my mother used to chop some vegetables, soak in some kind of liquid and extract the sweet water from the vegetables and called them enzymes, she used to take a spoon of the enzymes everyday and tell us how wonderful those enzymes were.

   After taking this course, my entire knowledge of enzymes changed. Enzymes are sparks of life! They are responsible for constructing, synthesizing, carrying, dispensing, delivering, and eliminating ingredients and chemicals that our body uses each day, and the body makes these enzymes. There are different types of enzymes, and the best part is that you can supplement your enzymes if it gets low.

   I gained an enormous knowledge about enzymes and the relation between them and us.

   As a personal trainer, I gained a better understanding on how to set realistic goals for my clients. Enzymes are directly related to their current health status. I can somewhat help them to achieve some of these goals (not as a medical professional, as I know that it is outside of my scope of practice to prescribe any medicines or dietary supplements), but by guiding them thru a healthier nutrition and fitness habits.

   As always the author makes it so easy to follow and to understand. The material is extremely interesting. The layout along the illustrations makes it fun to read. The CDs are great reference.

   Personal trainers that did not come from a medical field can benefit from this great resource. Most personal trainers would not think of taking an Enzyme course, due to the limited medical knowledge. As a personal trainer, I was surprised to learn that the enzymes are one of the most essential elements in our body. That enzymes are required for our body to function properly. Every personal trainer and/or professional in the area of health and fitness should have the opportunity to take this course and be able to receive credits toward the renewal of their licenses.

   Highly recommend!

   GMP Fitness courses are far superior to other courses I have taken … the absolute best in my book! I always walk away from each course with a wealth of practical knowledge that I feel is very applicable to my personal training business. The Enzyme Nutrition for Wellness course did not disappoint!

   I find the material challenging yet easy to follow and the CD’s and study materials are exceptional, easy to follow and appealing in every way. I continue to look forward to taking more courses from GMP Fitness, as the wealth of knowledge I have gained is excellent!

   As a personal trainer, I am not only interested in exercise physiology, but also nutrition and its role for optimal wellness. Even though I am not able to prescribe specific dietary guidelines, I find it helpful to offer suggestions to my clients, especially with things I have personally tried and have been very successful. Since taking this course I am much more aware of the role of enzymes and their role within the vital functions of the body. I have added supplemental enzymes into my daily routine and I am already seeing great, positive results!

   I never realized the extent that enzymes play in our total overall body functions for optimal well being. This was a very enlightening course to learn about the functions of enzymes within the body, as well as the different sources available.

   I am much more aware of the role of enzymes and their role within the vital functions of the body, and since completing the course I have added them to my daily regimen, with great results! The CD and study materials are easy to follow and appealing in every way. This was a very educational course. Thank you for another excellent course!

   I do like how you’ve stressed in the material that we as trainers aren’t certified nutritionists and should not be prescribing these potentially helpful enzymes. Our job is to educate! Although, after completion of this course, you will be very versed in the subject(s) presented with the amount of information you learn. A huge opportunity to educate your clients as a certified trainer, and spread your knowledge to friends and/or family as well. Along with applying what you’ve learned to your health and wellness! By gaining this knowledge base about enzymes and how they can improve your overall health, nutrition, and lifestyle. Even be able to reverse/improve some major health issues you, clients, family or friends might have with this knowledge.

   Amazing information provided. You can adapt to so many different settings and endeavors. Gained insights into the business end of caring for clients. Course discussed different avenues for educating and inspiring people along their path. Organized and user friendly format. BONUS … designed for reflection and brainstorming.

   This course was presented in a manner which can be adapted to many different settings and endeavors. The amount of information provided was amazing. Topics ranged from office setup to human assessment and treatment. In addition guidance toward profit was provided with respect to the intention of empowering the patient. I enjoyed the integration of mind body and spirit principles within the business format. The tips within this book will certainly compliment my skills within the Physical Rehabilitation realm.

   I have gained insights into the business end of caring for clients. I am pleased to now have some exposure to the development and potential of owning a center. The information provided on wellness and patient care was complete and the wide range of modalities and interventions can be implemented in many settings. As professionals it is important to recognize that each individual is unique. Behavioral patterns and psychology play a role within the wellness world. This book discussed different avenues for educating and inspiring people along their path. I particularly enjoyed the section on designing a center. Specific areas to focus include awaken, inspire, energize, rejuvenate and relax.

   The wisdom shared will also be most useful in the Physical Therapy setting. The chapter on assessment is useful with regards to all client care. This knowledge will be shared when I teach yoga and personal train individuals. It was refreshing to explore alternative methods such as homeopathy and nutritional enhancement.

   I have studied 4 of the courses through GMP Fitness. I am pleased that the material is presented in an organized and user friendly format. BONUS: The course is very complete with a textbook (that you can get as a product add-on) and workbook designed for reflection and brainstorming.

   I’ve gained lots of ideas I can use to incorporate more exercise into my practice. Great content, was easy to follow and well-written. Thank you!I am going to look into hiring a personal trainer for my staff- I have been trying to do exercises with patients or referring them to different sources with little compliance, but I believe a personal trainer added will help this immensely and be another revenue source.

    I have gained a better understanding of how to incorporate the various facets of wellness. Incorporating a more well-rounded comprehension of wellness allows me to be a leader in the industry, giving me a competitive edge. 

There were thought-provoking exercises that realigned me with my goals and niche. I was also provided with new ways to broaden my reach and apply practices to my business that I wouldn’t have otherwise thought to incorporate. 

The wellness industry isn’t limited to nutrition, personal training, or coaching. This course provided a wide range of topics to better prepare professionals for client interaction. Rather than focusing on only one topic, the material offers a variety that is likely to come up in communication among our clients. The continuing education course effectively provides information and the additional resources keep us up to date on the growth of the wellness industry.
