EXAM PERIOD
To become certified as an RTS Level 1 Practitioner, you must pass the RTS 1 Exam. The certification process includes one video submission and two exams, both in multiple-choice format.
The first exam will feature video clips for each question, while the second exam consists of multiple-choice questions.
“If you’re training people 1-1 on the gym floor, you have to know your biomechanics inside out, & how to apply it to each individual.”
It’s your duty to study past the basic Certifications, and if you want to be the best trainer you can be i highly recommend studying mechanics through RTS.
It’s fundamental to having a long, sustainable career & getting great results with your clients.

“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.
