Fitness Leadership - Henry Ford Community College

Fitness Leadership from Henry Ford Community College is a Campus Certificate Sport degree that prepares you for a Education career. The Health and Physical Education curriculum includes two programs in Fitness Leadership. Interested students can enroll in the Certificate of Achievement or the two-year Associate in Applied Science degree program. The Fitness Leadership programs have been established in response to the increasing demand for highly trained, certified exercise instructors and personal trainers in national fitness clubs, corporate fitness centers, area-wide recreation facilities, and hospitals. Fitness Leadership serves as an excellent foundation for students entering other careers such as nursing, physical therapy, community health and business. Students may find that having two complementary areas of concentration and expertise makes them more marketable. Both programs offer a wide variety of courses including Exercise Physiology, Nutrition, Methods of Teaching Exercise, and First Aid. HFCC Fitness Leadership instructors are fitness leaders and professionals who are highly qualified to share their training and knowledge to help develop strong and dynamic exercise leaders. Many HFCC graduates attend Eastern Michigan University or Wayne State University which have strong exercise science programs and excellent transfer agreements with HFCC. The College has articulation agreements to ensure that graduates can work toward a bachelor's degree without loss of credits earned at HFCC. Students wishing to transfer to other universities should consult the transfer and articulation guides on file in the University Transfer, Advising, and Career Counseling Center to determine the transferability of HFCC coursework toward those degrees. Statistics provided by the American Council on Exercise, the American College of Sports Medicine, and other professional exercise organizations have strongly shown that students who have received training from a college perform well on certification exams.
