Field-Based Biomechanics
Learn anatomy, bones, joints and muscles in a way that actually stays with you, because you need it to describe movement. Read a body in real time, predict how it will move, and design exercises that help clients move better.
What is a biomechanics course for personal trainers?
Field-Based Biomechanics teaches you anatomy through movement rather than memorised lists, so you can watch a client move and see what is actually happening. It costs £600 paid in full, or £100 deposit and 7 monthly payments of £86, plan total £702. You learn bones, joints and muscles by using them to describe movement, then use that to predict how a body will move and design exercises with a reason behind them. It counts as active learning, so your PT Manager access runs while you are enrolled and keeps running when you pass. Free return access to the content is included for life.
The software that goes with it
PT Manager is free from day one with this course, and you use it with real clients once you are qualified and on the FASTER Trainer Register. Its video analysis lets you film a client, draw the angles and lines on the video, and show them what you saw, using the same anatomy and movement this course teaches.
Where this leads
Field-Based Biomechanics is the start of reading movement. The courses that take it further are the Motor Skill Application Specialist (MSAS) and the Fitness Programming Specialist.

What you get
How it works
Who Field-Based Biomechanics is for
Field-Based Biomechanics is the FASTER course for trainers who want to understand the body well enough to read it as it moves, not just name parts of it.
It is for anyone who has sat through dry anatomy and forgotten it by the next week. Here you learn it through movement, which is the only way it sticks and the only way it is any use with a client.
If you want to predict motion, design better exercises and explain why, start here. And with free return access, everything you cover stays with you for good.

"I always thought myself a bit of a biomechanics expert having just finished a Masters degree on the subject. However, what I learned through FASTER really helped me apply that knowledge practically and use it first hand with clients."

Read the thinking behind this course
Change The Load, The Speed Or The Hold, And The Same Squat Becomes A Different Exercise
A mobility squat, a flexibility squat, a strength squat and a power squat are the same movement doing four different jobs. Skill-Driven Mobility Coach teaches how load, speed and hold change what an exercise is actually training.
Injury & PainRead a joint's real range of motion properly, and know straight away whether it's injury risk or just how she's built
A joint that moves differently from the textbook is not an injury waiting to happen. Level 3 names reading joint structure and range as core knowledge.
BiomechanicsRead the hips in front of you and they will tell you that client's squat depth
A textbook squat diagram is one hip's answer, not everybody's. Field-Based Biomechanics teaches you to read the client in front of you, not grade a picture.
