College Diploma - Fitness and Health Promotion (FHP1)

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.
