Specialist in Health – Training and Recovery

The Highest Level of Education in the Fitness industry.

Specialist in Health Training and Recovery is an advanced educational program designed for trainers and instructors who wish to reach the highest level of professional development in the fitness industry— without the need for a physiotherapy degree.
It is a course for professionals with at least four years of industry experience who want to expand their knowledge in health, recovery, movement therapy, and holistic health management.

 4 Development Pathways within the Programme

1️⃣ Today Recovery Studio Owner

This pathway prepares participants to open and manage their own Today Recovery training and regeneration centre.
Each participant receives full support in:

  • business concept development and operational model,
  • training and therapeutic methodology know-how,
  • client management system (assessment, recovery plan, follow-up),
  • ProFi Fitness School, which has been active on the Irish market for 17 years, provides continuous support.

This track equips graduates with the competence to independently manage a facility based on the philosophy of training, health, and recovery, maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and ethics.

2️⃣ ProFi Fitness School Educator

A pathway for those who wish to join the ProFi Fitness School teaching team and conduct courses such as:

  • Gym Instructor (EQF 3),
  • Personal Trainer (EQF 4),
  • Nutrition Coach / Nutrition Specialist,
  • Fitness Group Instructor.

Participants will receive comprehensive methodological and didactic training in conducting courses, examinations, and validation processes according to REPs/ ICREPs standards.
They will also develop the skills necessary to train future professionals and deliver education in an inspiring, professional way.

3️⃣ Program Creator and Industry Educator

This pathway is designed for professionals who want to shape the future of the fitness industry as innovators, educators, and consultants.
It includes several potential roles, which may be combined or pursued individually:

  • Programme Creator – developing and implementing new educational courses,
  • Implementation Assistant: This role supports the opening of new locations, team development, and operational standardisation.
  • Club Educator: Conducting training for fitness club managers, instructors, and staff.
  • The role of an industry consultant involves modernising and optimising fitness clubs and training centres.

This track is ideal for those who wish to contribute beyond personal training—to build and evolve the entire fitness, health & recovery sector.
It is also a natural next step for experienced trainers and educational leaders who want to combine their professional skills with organisational and consultancy developments.
However, this level requires greater commitment, financial investment, and organisational responsibility—marking the transition from trainer to industry leader.

4️⃣ Health & Recovery Expert

An individual development pathway focused on deepening skills in working with clients who need support in:

  • post-exercise recovery,
  • return to full functionality after injuries,
  • adapting training to health limitations,
  • improving quality of life through movement and recovery.

This pathway prepares participants to work as health and recovery experts in today's post-training zones: fitness studios, movement clinics, SPA centres, and health-oriented organisations.
