Upcoming Fitness Trainer Seminar in Los Angeles

Carpinteria, CA – January 14, 2008 –The International Sports Sciences Association announced today that its acclaimed Certified Fitness Trainer Seminar will be hosted in Westlake Village at Total Women Gym Atmosphere Day Spa on January 26-27, 2008. The seminar will be taught by John Schaeffer, MFS, MSS, MPN. John has over 30 years’ experience in the health and fitness industry—specializing in nutrition, weight management, and sports conditioning—and has trained Olympians Apolo Ohno and Alison Baver, as well as NFL Pro Lineback Robin Cole, among a host of other athletes.

“ISSA’s ‘hands on’ weekend workshops combine the science of fitness training and the practical components of exercise and nutrition programming,” says Dr. Sal Arria, CEO and co-founder of the ISSA. “Because our weekend seminars are taught by some of the most experienced fitness professionals in the industry, they provide a level of education that helps our students pull it all together and get a jump start into their profession.”

 “The gyms that host our workshops often offer jobs to the ISSA students who attend. That’s how impressed they are with our educational standards and with the students who master them,” says professor John Schaeffer, who also helped Apollo Ohno train for Dancing with the Stars.

“John is a wealth of knowledge,” says recent seminar student Jill Powell, “His suggestions on program development, nutrition and exercise techniques are proving invaluable to me already, as I train clients."

Attendees have the unique opportunity to network with other fitness professionals during these two powerful days of learning, and more importantly, gain skills and insights from their classmates that will help further their fitness careers.
