What differentiates great fitness professionals from 

the rest? Is it their ability to program beyond “exercise 

science” and include the psychological and 

emotional parameters of change, or is it their ability 

to connect with individuals with rapport and effective 

communication to deliver powerful, positive, 

memorable experiences? These factors bridge the 

gap between exercise programming and successful 

change. Join this workshop and learn how to 

engage individuals by effectively building rapport, 

igniting their passion for change, and empowering 

them to success and self-sufficiency. Learn the art 

forms to rapport-building, motivational interviewing, 

overcoming ambivalence and resistance, 

personality indexing, neuro-linguistic programming 

and behavioral change. Become an innovator and 

combine your science of programming with the art 

of behavioral change, coaching and communication.

rElEASE AND rElIEvE 

With Helen Vanderburg 

You know cycling is fantastic for cardiovascular training, 

calorie burn and an all-around strengthened lower 

body, but like other sports that demand big power in 

a limited range of motion, tension and discomfort can 

too often be the aftermath of a great ride. Not just for 

cyclists, this workshop pulls the best flexibility, relaxation 

and self-myofascial release techniques using 

easy to access equipment into simple sequences you 

can teach anywhere. Learn how to relieve the hips, 

back, shoulders and legs, rejuvenate the joints and 

restore maximal performance to a tight and tired body. 

This workshop includes a 30-minute cycling workout.
