OVERVIEW

Learn to move better, train smarter, and program around pain with the proven training system to achieve lifelong, pain-free performance.

The 2-Day Pain-Free Performance Specialist Certification (PPSC) is an integrated prevention based system for personal trainers, coaches and physical therapists to optimize their client’s fitness and performance around the common presence of pain, dysfunction and injuries. In this 16-hour certification course, attendees will master some of the most powerful injury prevention based theories, methods and modalities to take instant action in the implementation of Dr. John Rusin’s Pain-Free Performance Training System.

Since 2018 we have run over 600 events world wide, with over 20,000 participants taking part. We’ve earned partnerships with Lifetime, Equinox and more because they have seen the clear results from the implementation of these systems.

WHAT TO EXPECT

  • In this two day course you’ll learn how to screen and assess quickly and effectively to pick and choose the BEST and most appropriate exercise variations for your clients (or for yourself!).
  • You’ll learn how and why to progress each pattern SQUAT/HINGE/LUNGE/PUSH/PULL/CARRY.
  • You’ll learn a first session framework to increase your sign up rates.
  • You’ll learn how to simplify your programming to become more efficient and effective with client results. Saving your time, and improving retention.

THESE ARE SECTIONS WE HAVE ON OUR DIGITAL LEARNING PLATFORM FOR YOU AS SUPPLEMENTAL EDUCATION FROM THE WEEKEND

  • Deadlift, squat, row, press. These are very basic drills, so we will not spend the weekend reviewing these, however the digital options provide great instruction.
  • Turkish Get Up. While synonymous with kettlebell training, we don’t actually end up using it with many clients, so we prefer to use the weekend time differently.
  • More progressions and special lectures in the future.

I am very new to personal training and the gym – just started lifting 3 years ago and recently did my NASM CPT. This PPSC course was AMAZING. You do such a great job explaining all the little details that I’ve been wanting to learn about. I feel so much more confident for my own training and how I’m going to be able to help my clients!

—Marcy G.

One of the things I like most about PPSC is how engaging the weekend is – so much hands-on and practice, makes it really easy to learn and really build confidence. Also, I was really impressed by the post-course resources and assistance from the instructor team after the event. I’ve taken lots of certs that really do nothing after the event so this was unexpected and much appreciated.

—Paul Casey

The PPSC course once again knocked it out of the park! Taking it a second time with a team member taking it for the first time – we both got so much out of it. Hands down the best course ever. Every trainer/coach should be taking this, and then taking it again. Get better and never stop learning, your clients are counting on you!

—Emily Hohn

Literally will be a game-changer regarding warming up and helping my clients access their lifts more successfully. I learned so much this past weekend and I know there will be lots more as I review and practice. Big shout out to the PPSC team for putting together an amazing course.

—Anthony Brandon

Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for PPSC this weekend! What an incredibly valuable course. I had a training session with a client today and after implementing everything we learnt, we added 20lbs to their Squat PR in a single session! The system works like no other!

—Justin Angeles

“I attended the PPSC course this weekend. If any of my trainer friends are looking for an approach to fitness that really focuses on keeping your clients healthy and pain-free, this is for you. The content was absolutely amazing and well put together and the instructors were top-notch! Highly recommend.”

—Phil Roberts

“My favourite certification – PPSC literally restructured how I approach Strength & Conditioning and while staying healthy and pain-free.”

—Sveto Damjanovic
