Students will study exercise science courses in anatomy and physiology, nutrition, principles of fitness, training with weights, exercise physiology, athletic injuries, and personal training. Additionally, they will experience a variety of health and fitness courses to help them learn the valuable business skills that they will need to start a successful career in fitness club management, or how to manage a club. This health and fitness program provides great hands-on, practical experience at Fanshawe College’s on-site fitness centre. Students will also get two extensive on-site work experiences at one of the employers or community partners of the program.

After students graduate from this program with a health promotion diploma, they can find employment with existing commercial and non-for-profit fitness agencies, rehabilitation services, government oriented fitness programs, agencies serving youth, and many others.
