Warm-up science & CARS
Build purposeful warm-ups and use controlled articular rotations to understand joint function.
Interactive curriculum
The complete 10-week practical syllabus.
Move from screening and programme design to applied biomechanics, energy systems, advanced methods and commercial readiness.
What students learn
A curriculum built around coaching decisions.
The EPTA syllabus teaches students how to assess, explain, programme and adapt—not just how to recognise exercise names.
Each phase connects online theory with practical work in the studio. Students use real coaching frameworks, screening stations, case studies and programming systems throughout the 10 weeks.
Week by week
Three phases. One connected system.
Open each phase to see the practical focus for every week.
Phase 01Foundations, Screening & Program DesignWeeks 1–4
10 screening stations
Read posture, squat, shoulder, hinge, balance, core and cardiovascular movement findings.
9-step program design
Classify the client, set the goal and make decisions on frequency, load, volume, rest and tempo.
The DECA framework
Demonstrate, explain, coach and affirm so sessions build competence and client confidence.
Phase 02Applied Biomechanics & Commercial SetupWeeks 5–7
Upper-body mechanics & 3 G's
Coach pressing mechanics through grip, gut and glutes, then apply the same precision across upper-body patterns.
Practical skill rotation
Develop adaptable coaching through rotating kettlebell, calisthenics and pad-work practice.
Business ethics & pitching
Set up a responsible service, communicate your value and present a clear offer confidently.
Phase 03Lower Body Matrix, Energy Systems & Systems MasteryWeeks 8–10
Lower body matrix
Coach more than 30 lower-body variations across push, pull, unilateral strength and regressions.
Energy systems
Use the Gain, Pain and Sustain framework to match conditioning to the required outcome.
15 advanced systems
Apply systems including GVT, 5×5 and 6-12-25 with sound progression and coaching judgment.
From information to ability
How each concept becomes a coaching skill.
The Academy uses repeatable frameworks so students can make clear decisions under real coaching conditions.
Demonstrate · Explain · Coach · Affirm
Show the movement, give concise cues, guide it in real time and reinforce what the client does well.
Grip · Gut · Glutes
Use a simple pressing checklist to organise hand position, trunk control and lower-body tension.
Programming foundations
Connect client classification and goals to session structure, exercise selection, load, volume, rest and tempo.
