 Sanctioned by Arthur Jones (see special note at the bottom of this page),
this course is an "education" certification for personal
trainers that involves the man's life work, from the advent of
Nautilus to the rehabilitation discoveries of MedX research (www.CoreSpinalFitness.com).
The exam process involves short answer, essay questions, and
experiments in which you conduct and develop, and which reflect
Arthur's observations that have spanned over forty years. Become
certified in the original HIT methods as developed by Arthur
Jones. Topics to be tested and contemplated include:
- Problems with unidirectional
resistance
- Variable resistance and muscle
shortening relationships
- The ten required factors for
full range resistance, and the most important factors in exercise
- Proper structure and organization
of a workout, as well as the logical basis for full-body training
- Requirements/factors (aside
from exercise) to induce growth stimulation
- The relationship between strength
and muscular bulk
- Problems associated with the
total tonnage system
- The "indirect effect"
and the "double progressive" method
- Developing optimum flexibility
and cardiovascular conditioning with strength training
- The purpose and value of pre-exhaustion
- Why the first repetition of
a set is the most dangerous, and why the last repetition is the
safest
- Why people should train to failure
for optimum progress
- Angle of pull, muscle size,
and aspect ratios
And much, much more. How valid
were and are Arthur Jones' ideas? Some of them, such as exercise
volume, are discussed in this article: Strength
Training Methods and the Work of Arthur Jones.
Also, click

As well, students will be required
to conduct experiments dealing with Type S and G strength
curve concepts, the AE Factor, and negative-only and negative-accentuated
exercise. And, students will demonstrate proper intense training
methods, a la Arthur Jones, by video-taping a full body workout
with him/her self, or with a client. (Note: This personal trainer
certification does NOT teach you how to implement and use MedX
rehabilitation testing machines, how to interpret strength curves,
etc.)
Today we are inundated with explosive
kettlebell and barbell training and balance ball hoopla, methods
of exercise that are both potentially dangerous (particularly
long-term to the joints and connective tissues) and far less
effective than the methods and principles developed by Arthur
Jones thirty years ago. This personal trainer course was designed
to teach those principles and the historical perspective of the
Arthur Jones Legacy. If you have ever wondered about the effectiveness
of brief, intense training, what it is about, how it should be
applied and its roots, then this personal trainer course is a
must and uses the learning materials direct from the "master"
himself.
$592.50 Canadian funds (includes learning
materials [900+ page hardcover book] and shipping in the continental
North America; $100 Canadian discount for those who own the Arthur Jones Collection, as sold through this site). Course costs are one-time only; we work with
you until you meet our standards of excellence of competency
and full understanding.

NOTE: Our certification processes include exclusive
trade secret methodologies, strategies and information. We do
NOT provide returns when purchasing a certification as this is
as much a service as it is a high-end product. After all, a person
could read and utilize our methodologies and then ask for a return,
which is similar to eating an entire meal in a restaurant and
then not wanting to pay. We can provide credit within 30 days
toward returned books, if you decide to return said books to
purchase different learning resources that may be more suitable
to your needs.
NOTE: There is a small fitness
group that suggests the MedX certification is not 'sanctioned'
by Arthur Jones. The term 'sanction' means to give permission,
and Mr. Jones provided us permission to develop this course.
We believe this irresponsible Internet 'bashing' is the result
of envy, since this same group promotes a low-standard 'HIT'
course that involves a series of multiple-choice questions that
affords certification within a few hours, whereas our 'involved'
MedX certification process is considered direct competition.
Certainly this group thinks highly of the works of Mr. Jones,
as does the I.A.R.T., but rather than being content that others
are 'spreading the good word,' they view it as the I.A.R.T. stepping
on their turf. If you have any concerns regarding this matter,
please e-mail us. Thank you.
