If you're looking to for a mobility course / mobility certification - check out our CPD courses below!
How do I become a Mobility Coach?
To become a mobility coach, you will need to have a strong understanding of human movement and be able to communicate effectively with your clients. Aside from that, you’ll need to obtain a mobility coach certification, which our online courses can assist you with. Once you have these things, you can start your own business or join an existing fitness facility that offers mobility coaching services.
What is the difference between a Mobility Coach and a Mobility Instructor?
The two terms are often used interchangeably, however a Mobility “Instructor” is usually referring to a Fitness Professional who takes “classes” and a Mobility “Coach” is usually referring to a Fitness Professional who takes personal training clients.
How do you complete a Mobility Coach Certification Course Online?
Once you register for your Mobility course, you will be sent your log in details. You then work through the course at your own pace, watching the videos and reading the materials. At the course there is an assessment. Assuming your assessment is successful we will also send you over you completion certificate along with your CPDs. If unsuccessful, you are able to resubmit your assessment free of charge.
How much is a Mobility Course?
Our Mobility Courses range from $125-$175
Why should a Fitness Professional complete a Mobility Course?
A Fitness Professional should complete a Mobility Course if they plan to do the following
Use Mobility in their own training
Use Mobility in their Group Fitness classes
Use Mobility with their Personal Training clients
Mobility Training isn’t covered in depth during your initial Personal Training Certification and therefore chances are you haven’t been trained in how to use Mobility. This can result in the exercises not being performed properly which leads to less benefit and an increased chance of injury.
Completing a course ensures that you can both perform the exercises correctly yourself AND coach your clients on how to perform the exercises correctly.

Our Reputation Precedes Us
Don’t just take our word for it. Take a look at what our students (personal trainers just like you) are saying about us. Our wide range of courses, workouts, drills, and games have helped them develop exercise programs that are fun, safe, and effective.
The support that they’ve offered has been fantastic. My course is booked solid.

"Just completed the kettlebell course level one, and would highly recommend to anyone!! Such a good layout of content, with easy to follow videos, and for a visual learner like myself, it made the whole process of completing the course easy!
Thank you Travis and Jono”
Kate Galli says…
“The freedom to complete Kettlebell Level 1 from Fitness Education Online in my own time at home was fantastic. The course was thorough and easy to understand.
Thanks guys."
Catherine McCann says...
“I'm an NASM certified personal trainer and just completed the FEO Kettlebell CEU Course and I highly recommend it. The course was easy to follow, had great explanations and suggestions for instructing your clients on learning Kettlebell basics as well as great programming suggestions."
Sezz Thomas says…
“I've only been in the industry for a little under a year as I did my initial PT cert this time last year, and it took me all these years to take the leap into self employment. I've just completed the KB Essentials Level 1. Totally recommend! Loads of great ideas and have been introduced to some new movements, which I incorporate into my programming and classes regularly. Oh, and FYI, if you haven't done a FEO course yet, the feedback you get on assessments is personalised and thoughtful... so a big thank you to Travis and Jono for that. I recommend this course to anyone who wants to use, or already uses, KBs in their programming, classes and bootcamps..”
Nick Hill PT says...
“I've always fancied learning about Kettlebells but never got around to it. I came across Fitness Education and decided to do the online course. I loved every minute of course, there's loads of information and videos on the course. The videos have great step by step instructions from Travis and Jono and the menu is easy to navigate through. I didn't realise there was so much you could do with a kettlebell and this is only level 1. If you're thinking about doing it,
I'd definitely go for it.!”
Ky Crisdale says…
“I am a Personal Trainer/Fitness Instructor From Gippsland. Also running mums n bubs Bootcamps for 3years. I have completed my Kettlebell 1 course and thoroughly enjoyed it as did my clients. I learnt alot of tips to which I needed to correct as a PT. I searched Fitness Online via Google's online courses due to being more practical for me as I am also a mum of two so Online Course was much easier for me to complete in my own time. This course is recommended to any trainers out there who like using Kettlebells and alot of compound movements. Its a great learning tool.
Thank You so much Travis & Jono”
