Edufit – Fitness Training When it Suits You

This blog post from T2 Fitness explains what Edufit is, and how it can benefit you!

What is Edufit?

Here at T2 Fitness we have long had our eye on quality and making sure people receive exactly what they need in terms of education, support and opening doors. It is part of the reason we receive good reviews and a massive part of why the education process, for student and teacher, is so fun! It is also one of the main reasons that Edufit at the T2 Academy in Dublin was a roaring success! Lead tutor Anthony Lynch personifies all of the characteristics necessary to offer an amazing learning experience to students.

In the time I’ve known Anthony we fast became very close, realising we shared a lot of the same traits and beliefs. We have worked together on a number of additional business ventures and knew we could have a major impact on the fitness industry beyond our current reach.

Just over a year ago we began discussing ways to make education for fitness courses more dynamic, ways to take the pressure off the paperwork-heavy way in which the courses were assessed and ways to free up the tutors’ time in the classroom to simply educate the learners. It was our position that the courses had become a little rigid in delivery, too reliant on specific wording, in specific boxes, and that this was taking away from the experience that made fitness courses special.

It is for this reason that Edufit was born! We set about creating a brand new syllabus that takes the pressure off everyone involved, and WOW, did we succeed…

What are the benefits?

The students would benefit from being able to study bitesized modules in their own time, and more importantly, at their own pace. This put a stop to any concern of cramming content into days in the classroom. All it takes is for a student to come to the course feeling under the weather and that whole day’s training is compromised for them.

The tutors and course providers benefit by eliminating the need to mark reams of paperwork. All of the modules come equipped with a knowledge check to ensure learning has taken place. Once completed the learner can move on to the next module. This can all be tracked on the tutor portal…simple.

Then comes the real benefit to the training providers. Courses can now become more bespoke than ever! In the past, the main differentiation in terms of course providers was in the price, as well as how many extra courses could be crammed into the overall Diploma. Now, because so much of the criteria are covered through the app-based modules the providers are free to add massive value through their workshops. They can offer any additional education they feel necessary into their classroom time without worrying that they might have gone too far off the syllabus.

Everyone’s a winner!

Edufit is changing fitness trainingThe changing technology of fitness training

The main driving force behind Edufit is the unbelievable 2D and 3D graphics that make the body come alive in a way that hasn’t been seen before in fitness education. There have been online programmes before, but nothing compares to seeing the heart beating through a Virtual Reality headset, or walking through specific exercise teaching points in a made-to-measure Virtual Gym. It has to be seen to be believed!

The fitness industry has a unique position when it comes to technology. In the last decade we have seen the popularity of heart rate monitors, body fat testing, GPS monitoring, apps for programming and virtual group classes, but the way you became a trainer in the first place has remained practically unchanged in the last twenty years. Sure, the books have become more advanced in illustration and more comprehensive in their information but the delivery has largely remained static.

With Edufit that is all about to change! Paper-based learning gives way to a virtual world of animated graphics detailing all the components of fitness education you need to make an impact on your new career. All beautifully delivered in the most interactive education package available today, made available at your fingertips!
