WHAT IS RTS?

Resistance Training Specialist® is an advanced exercise education curriculum built on Exercise Mechanics™.

It replaces pre-scripted protocols and generalized  assumptions with objective, informed decisions about exercise.

Design customised, optimised and Client-Defined™ programming for every person you work with.

No two people respond to exercise the same way.

RTS is built around understanding why, and applying that understanding to coaching decisions.

A NEW WAY OF SEEING EXERCISE

Personal trainers, performance coaches, and rehab professionals worldwide use RTS to coach with a level of precision their clients can feel.

PUTTING RTS INTO PRACTICE

OUR IMPACT

I feel that the trainer I am today is far better equipped to deliver the training experience my clients deserve.

- Will Bennett, Personal Trainer

  • The biggest take away was “stop looking solely at muscles and start looking at joints”. Once you understand the function of a joint, and the muscles that cross it, you can create far better exercises tailored to your clients needs and get better outcomes from sessions with them.

    DAVID LOUGHMAN - Personal Trainer

  • With a background in competitive bodybuilding I’ve always trained anecdotally, based on posts of social media gurus, which often can be misleading. As I began to learn more from RTS, it has really allowed me to train more effectively and efficiently without becoming injured. For those of you that are serious about your fitness career, look no further.

    JACKSON CHIEN - Competitive Body Builder -
    Personal Trainer

  • As an S&C coach, my approach was traditionally focused on movement patterns, but RTS Level 1 Adjusted my thought process. It gave me new ideas and ways to design exercise to optimise the performance of my athletes. It is such an important perspective on exercise - this course should be compulsory for every new personal trainer.

THE GLOBAL HOME OF EXERCISE MECHANICS™

Exercise Mechanics™ is the study of how resistance applies to human anatomy during exercise, and how it shapes stimulus, tolerance, and outcome. RTS exists to make you the most skilled problem-solver in the room.

Because understanding stimulus is what allows you to adapt exercise to any client’s needs, abilities and goals.

RTS EDUCATION PATHWAY

RTS is taught as a progressive curriculum.

Your understanding of the discipline deepens at every stage, along with your ability to apply it to more complex coaching scenarios.
