Group Fitness It’s better in a group! Whether prechoreographed classes are your jam or you’re all about freestyle, check out these theoretical and practical sessions to take your group fitness choreography, style, coaching, technique, and overall presence to the next level.

Personal Training

Developed specifically for all levels of personal trainers, these sessions will cover everything you need to know to be at the top of your game. With beginner to advanced level education on subjects such as program design, mobility and recovery, athletic development, movement assessment and rehab, business skills, and more, you’ll be at the forefront of the latest developments in the field.

Mental Health & Wellness

A trending topic in recent years, it is more important than ever for fitness professionals to understand the complexities of mental health, disease, and wellness and the symbiotic relationship existing between the health and fitness professions. These sessions will explore important trends in mental and physical health and well-being and open your mind to ways in which you can use them to evolve personally and professionally.

Coaching & Mindset Mindset matters! Both your own and that of your clients. It has become common knowledge in the fitness industry that the mindset in which the training is delivered and received is equally as important as the training itself. These sessions will help you develop a deeper understanding of the important role played by mindset and arm you with the tools you need to coach others on a path to success.

Nutrition

Learn more about nutrition for weight loss or how to use it for a specific purpose, whether for yourself or your clients. These sessions will delve into proper fueling for weight reduction, athletic performance, aging, medical conditions and more. Look for the “HWL” icon to identify sessions that will allow you to earn CECs towards maintaining your Healthy Eating and Weight Loss Coach certification.

Speciality Streams As a fitness professional, you are often required, or may prefer, to focus your work on a specialty stream. Those clients on the older or younger end of the spectrum, pre and postnatal women, and those with health conditions will naturally require specialized programming options. These sessions will deliver the practical and theoretical knowledge you need to deliver safe, effective, and innovative programs to these groups.

We inspire careers. Our Instructor courses and workshops teach you how to program for weekend warriors building strength while avoiding injury, elite athletes honing a competitive edge, post-rehab clients working towards recovery or mature adults who simply want to make getting out of bed easier.

Women Who Influence has become one of the most popular events at World Fitness Expo. Last year Women Who Influence sold out quickly so World Fitness Expo is moving the event to accommodate for this year’s ‘”Be the Change” celebration event featuring the most uniquely talented line-up of influential women. Presented by Mo Hagan, this year’s event and speakers, both from within and outside the fitness industry, will each share their unique story and most valuable lessons and experiences which have led them to become the women of influence and change-makers they are today. Attendees will enjoy a healthy lunch, entertainment, networking, draw prizes, and each receive a special event swag bag including incredible gifts from our event sponsors. NEW THIS YEAR–Young Women Who Influence—Young women (ages 9 and older) are invited to register and attend with their mother, sister, guardian or girlfriend. These young women will enjoy the morning with the group, break away for a special ‘think tank’ luncheon and one-of-akind afternoon session with our Young Women Who Influence speakers and other special guests, and rejoin in for a special closing performance by Jully Black. 43

Two indisputable facts: 1) Exercise is a stress. 2) Most clients are stressed even before exercising. No wonder program design is a challenge! If you aren’t attuned to your clients’ stress profile when you build their program, at best they make suboptimal progress and at worst they injure themselves or get sick. Learn seven simple techniques to build exercise programs that renew, energize, and inspire unhealthy clients. Pinpoint the best exercises to meet your clients’ needs, and how to scale sets, reps, and loads. We'll dive into periodization, time under tension, loading zones, rest duration, and energy systems. Paul’s approach, applicable to any kind of client, is to focus on the person who has the disease, not the disease itself.

25TH ANNIVERSARY

Surrounding the Dragon of Back Pain: An Integrated Holistic Approach Paul Chek Back pain affects many clients, yet its etiology and progression can be multidimensional. By approaching clients from a holistic perspective, using the hierarchy of control centers in the body to determine exercise priorities, you’ll understand how back pain is often an expression of an imbalance in the body, rather than purely musculoskeletal. Learn how key stabilizers of the spine and core are linked to the function of the respiratory system and how feed-forward and feedback loops within these areas contribute to back pain. Come away with practical approaches to working with clients suffering from chronic back pain. Note: Known for his no-holds-barred presentation style, Paul Chek’s sessions are typically fascinating, provocative, and intense. Adult language and challenging assertions are not uncommon. While his holistic and rigorous approach is unique, his talks may not be appropriate for attendees who are easily offended. 3102

Hyper Activated Mobility: Should you Stabilize or Mobilize Chad Benson Have you ever heard the phrase "proximal stability leads to distal mobility and strength?" Understanding this concept is essential to achieving effective movement. While mobility techniques are an important step in overcoming the diseases associated with automation, one major reason for lost mobility is poor stability. Adding more ROM on top of instability is dangerous, increasing the risk of injury, decreasing functional performance, and eventually causing chronic pain. In this hands-on and active seminar you'll learn how to assess and correct (inhibit vs. activate) mobility deficits using two exceptionally impactful and portable tools: the Hyperice Sphere and Vyper. 3115

Are We Part of the Problem? Reducing Movement Compensation Patterns in the Training Session Part 1 Kelly Starrett The modern trainer is equal parts coach, nutritionist, and confidant. In our quest to create functional and fit clients, we often see that people are moving in unsustainable and mechanically poor positions. Increases in intensity, load, metabolic demand, volume, speed, and novelty have moved the need to limit the reinforcement of movement compensation to the front of the coach's problem list. We must be able to identify, anticipate, and limit an athlete's compensation strategies without reinforcing and contributing to movementrelated dysfunctions down the road.

Be inspiring, save your vocal cords, and get the undivided attention of your participants. Research in the field of communication indicates that people only really hear about 7% of what is said. The bulk of the meaning in any message is communicated non-verbally through facial expression, posture, and actions, i.e. 'body language.' Learning effective visual cueing is a worthwhile and creative challenge. Work with the music and motivate participants to perform movements with top-notch technique. Remember, movement is the universal language and quite often ‘words get in the way!’

Are We Part of the Problem? Reducing Movement Compensation Patterns in the Training Session Part 2 Kelly Starrett The modern trainer is equal parts coach, nutritionist, and confidant. In our quest to create functional and fit clients, we often see that people are moving in unsustainable and mechanically poor positions. Increases in intensity, load, metabolic demand, volume, speed, and novelty have moved the need to limit the reinforcement of movement compensation to the front of the coach's problem list. We must be able to identify, anticipate, and limit an athlete's compensation strategies without reinforcing and contributing to movementrelated dysfunctions down the road. You'll leave this fascinating session with practical tools to address and limit compensation patterning in your clientele. This is part two of a two-part Supersession.

Digital Persuasion: Ignite the Power of Social Sharing

The nature of most fitness regimens keeps hip movement along one plane, leading to lack of mobility through both the hip joint and low back. In addition, research shows that the hips are where we store our trauma. In yoga, the hips are aligned to our sacral chakra – our emotional centre and creative energy. When this is blocked, we suffer. We'll discuss the anatomy of the hip joint and its effect on surrounding areas of the body, exploring low back pain and abdominal weakness.

Yoga Anatomy: Compression, Tension, and Orientation of the Human Anatomy Terra Nicolle

To analyze why someone can't achieve a posture, we must look past the surface of the body and see it as a moving skeleton, identifying which joints are involved and determining their range of motion. Instead of correcting the body to conform to our expectations or poses demonstrated in books, teachers should allow the body to form in a way that makes sense for each individual student. We'll offer simple tests to determine when compression occurs in key areas like the shoulder, pelvis, and ankle, and identify the limits of each student. These anatomical principles apply to all yoga postures. 4120 | W / S

Postural Assessment: How to Assess the Mobility of the Yoga Body Terra Nicolle Postural assessment is the first pillar of yoga therapy examination and begins from the base(s) of support in all standard postures: sitting, standing, gait, supine, and prone. A fundamental principle of yoga is that alignment of structure dictates the flow or communication of prana, or life energy. We'll learn to observe asymmetries in various postures: which foot is turned in or out, higher shoulder, shorter rib cage, which palm faces more towards the back, and so on. This generates an introspective attitude as we sense, then confirm visually, how our awareness shifts in our yoga poses. 4513

The shoulder region is intricate: beyond the joint itself, there's the scapula, clavicle, humerus, rotator cuff, and supporting muscles – trapezius, pectoralis, and deltoids. Our shoulders are used in almost every yoga pose: in Triangle, they reach out from our sides, in Tree Pose they reach overhead, they bear weight in Dolphin, and support our torso in Shoulder Stand. Building strong shoulders is crucial to be able to flow seamlessly from foundational poses like Downward Dog into more advanced poses like Headstand. Understand the complexity of the shoulder, how to reduce injury, and build strength safely through yoga.

Andralyn Zayn Handstands are gaining in popularity in the fitness industry thanks to Crossfit and yoga, but there's one issue that keeps coming up: "how do I get away from the wall?" This is a common problem: people truly struggle with their fear of falling. The best way to solve this problem is by learning how to fall properly and safely: the fear diminishes gradually as you gain exposure to the scary part and come out the other side without getting hurt. 5405
