Trainer’s Training

SafeStrength® Trainer’s Training Program

Call James for information – 650-641-3586, ext. 3


Our goal for this training is that you learn the skills, attitudes, and practices that will positively impact the clients whose lives you will touch, as well as benefit your own health and wellbeing for the rest of your life.

  • You will have your own personally designed strength training program.

  • You will learn the safest, most effective strength training program available today.

  • You will learn NLP coaching and motivational skills and improve your communication skills in all areas of your life.

  • Be part of a select group of SafeStrength® Trainers trained in both strength training instruction and NLP coaching.

  • Study with exciting, passionate, service-oriented Trainers and Coaches.

  • Learn skills, attitudes, and practices that will benefit your health and well-being for the rest of your life.

  • You’ll have the skills and abilities to work for a fitness business or start your own fitness  business.

The design of this program is for part of the instruction to be accessed online and part to be “hands-on” in the studio.  This is an experiential training program so much of your time will be spent learning to:

  • Set up the equipment

  • Align or position the client in the equipment

  • Coach the client during the training

  • Chart the results

You will be required to read and understand all materials, as well as pass two written exams and a final practical exam to become a Certified SafeStrength® Trainer.

Here’s what some graduates said about the program:



“This program taught me how to work with others in a way that I can help people stay healthy and strong. It gave me knowledge about anatomy, how the body moves, how muscles gain strength, and how to safely stay strong while aging gracefully.

The most significant difference it’s made in my life is that I’m now doing something that feeds my soul…I enjoy working with people and being physically active.

Overall, the Training Program was challenging and I enjoyed it. I felt supported and given all the tools I needed to be successful. James is a very knowledgeable instructor and he has a great way of communicating with the students.”

SafeStrength® Trainer


“The SafeStrength® Trainer’s Training Program at Alive! Whole Life Fitness Studio broadened my knowledge base in both physiology and kinesiology, and added a new strength training protocol and equipment set-up to my repertoire.

As a SafeStrength® Trainer, the protocol’s 20-minute work out keeps me fresh, alert, and prevents burn-out. I am able to totally focus on my clients and meet their needs.

My overall experience was that the program was so thorough and effective, I felt I could immediately and competently begin working with clients.

James’ warm personality, patience and consideration demonstrated his belief and dedication toward improving the health of his clients and the welcome he extends to all.”
- Donnalynn Polito


“After completing this program, I had a greater appreciation of Form (and Focus) when performing exercises, and confirmation that individualized training in a quiet, un-crowded facility improves performance and enjoyment. Through learning NLP techniques, I also improved my ability to communicate with and motivate clients.

The most significant difference I see in my life as a result of doing the SafeStrength® Trainer’s Training Program, is the increased confidence I have both as a SafeStrength® (and SuperSlow®) Trainer, and also in Pilates.  I developed the ability to recognize where improvement in form and an awareness of body alignment and body dynamics can greatly increase strength while reducing risk of injury.

I really appreciated that questions were always welcomed and encouraged. Also, as a Kinesthetic/Visual learner, physical repetition of set-up and protocol really helped me get it.

Overall, I had an awesome experience.”
-  Kent Young
