TIM ANDERSON, BSC, CSCSThe Original Strength System seeks to restore and free people through movement. In this 1-day Original Strength Pressing RESET workshop you will learn how to help yourself and/or clients improve the quality of their lives by helping them regain their original strength. Your body will be reintroduced to developmental patterns like diaphragmatic rolling, rocking, and crawling. With this, the nervous system can be reset, reflexive strength can be regained, and mobility can be restored. This is an experiential workshop in which you are not just listening, but moving and engaging in the course. Attendees will learn what the vestibular system is, what it does, and why it is important, and how to effectively train it; be able to teach and cue proper diaphragmatic breathing in several different positions; be able to demonstrate and teach developmental patterns and their regressions; will learn how to implement Original Strength into daily life and learn why it is beneficial to do so; and experience what it's like to press reset and feel its effects during the workshop.

ORIGINAL STRENGTH - PRESSING RESETPCA

BRIAN GRASSO, DPL. FITNESS MANAGEMENTWhy do some fitness participants succeed and some do not? Why do some experience sustainable success while others grow frustrated through years of yo-yo inconsistencies? What can fitness professionals learn about the intricacies of MINDSET that will help them better understand their clients’ attitudes and foster a more collaboratively successful outcome? As an industry, we have become very knowledgeable and well-versed in the areas of nutrition, exercise, programming and physical assessment, but as goes the brain goes the body. As our industry continues its evolution and prepares to meet the ever-changing demands of social dynamics and our client needs, the next frontier of knowledge must be based on the most critical factor of all: mindset, and how it controls our behaviours, perceptions and inevitable success potential. Time: 8:30am-4:30pm • Fee: $189 + HST mem; $249 + HST non-mem • CECs: CPTN-7, OFC-7, NSCA-0.7, OFC-7, CSEP-5, IYCA-4

Mindset Performance - Level 1PCB

MELISSA PUTT, B.A., MES, CPT, RNCP, D.O. (candidate)The Fascial Posture Training System explores the complex nature of fascial webbing and the fascial lines. All sports activity and fitness training positions/postures are maintained through the tension and compression forces of fascia (not tight muscles as was once believed). The Fascia Training System teaches the art of reading fascial tension, and how it affects posture and physical ability. It is a practical course detailed with a thorough toolbox of fascial pin and stretch release techniques. Learn how to feel the fascia, release its tension, and help clients avoid common pain and strain patterns. Fascia Posture Training will accelerate fitness goals whether sports, weight loss or agility. Understanding fascia is the root of all physical change. Time: 8:30am–4:30pm • Fee: $189 + HST mem; $249 + HST non-mem • CECs: CPTN-7, NSCA-0.7, OFC-7, CSEP-5, IYCA-4

DAVID SANDLER, MSC., ABD, FNSCA, FISSN, CISSN, CSCS, RSCC*D, ACSM-HFD, ACSM-HFI Whether you are looking to be a model, fitness competitor or someone looking to show off their body on the beach, two things stand between you and your goals: desire and commitment. The world’s best physiques didn’t get there by taking shortcuts, but it may not be as impossible a task as it may seem. The answer, however, doesn’t lie in your physiology and nutrition texts; rather, it is that tabooed grey area that science is afraid to explore. Join David Sandler, as he takes you on a behind-the-scenes journey as to what it takes to transform your body. This workshop will show you safe and effective nutrition and supplementation strategies along with the training methods employed by the industry’s top professionals to build that award-winning shape. Time: 9:30am–5:30pm • Fee: $189 + HST mem; $249 + HST non-mem • CECs: CPTN-7, NSCA-0.7, OFC-7, CSEP-5, IYCA-4

KARSTEN JENSEN, MSC., CPTN-CPT.M, CHEK-2, HLC-3Newer research points to the fact that “set x repetitions” (e.g., 3 x 8–12) is an inadequate description of the training program. Particularly, time under tension for each repetition has a significant influence on the training outcome. The repetition speed is often chosen randomly and/or based on personal bias and almost never systematically periodized. In this workshop you will learn the new science behind the effects of slower and faster tempos, and how to integrate both in a periodized plan in order to maximize the training outcome. Additionally, you will get to try examples of each type of tempo.

DAVID SANDLER, MSC., ABD, FNSCA, FISSN, CISSN, CSCS, RSCC*D, ACSM-HFD, ACSM-HFI After spending the last six years on the backside of the Sports Nutrition industry, formulating products for some of the industry’s top supplement companies, performing R&D for major ingredient suppliers and improving manufacturing processes, David Sandler gives you a bird’s-eye view of the industry from product conception to consumer consumption. Whether you are a trainer, coach or consumer, this lecture will “divulge all” so that you can understand the subtle nuances, see the truth and make the best choices possible for you and your clients when it comes to sports nutrition and supplementation.

KRISTA SCOTT DIXON, PHDResearch and experience show that “diets” don’t work, either for short-term client behaviours and buy-in, or long-term sustainable results and health. This can lead to failure, frustration and a fracture in the coach-client relationship. So what does work? At Precision Nutrition, we’ve coached thousands of people to change their habits and

Why Diets Don't Work...And How You Can Give Your Clients What DOES Work

PCF

SA1DANGELA JERVIS-READ, BA, CYTOur thoughts are the beginning of the manifestation of our lives. We are what we think. Learning to meditate is valuable for everyone. Spending time with our feelings and recurrent thinking patterns teaches us a lot about ourselves. Meditation is daunting for many. The misconception that we are trying “not to think” is a misunderstanding that makes meditation seem boring and impossible. This course will teach you fundamental techniques from both the Buddhist and Yoga traditions. With practice, the meditator’s life becomes less stressful, relationships are easier to navigate, and health in both body and mind improve. Please bring a yoga mat.

NICK TSAGGARELIS, BKIN, DC, MEDThe shoulder functions as a complex of integrated actions by various muscles and joints. Optimal functioning is dependent on adequate activity in the various components. In this lecture, you will deepen your understanding of the functioning shoulder complex, including the key mistakes made in program design that leads to and contributes to shoulder-related injuries.

Optimizing The Shoulder Complex (L)SA5B

TANYA CARUANA, MBA, RHN Your clients may appear to be doing all the right things — exercising and consuming the right number of calories as prescribed by their nutritionist — yet they still struggle to lose weight, especially around the abdomen. Their hormones may be hindering their weight loss efforts. Join Registered Holistic Nutritionist Tanya Caruana as she discusses the important role our hormones play in managing our weight. Learn what hormones may be undermining your clients’ weight loss efforts, in order to help you better understand where to direct your clients for further assistance.

JOHN BERARDI, PHD, CSCSNutrition advice usually comes in buzzwords and slogans. Just eat whole foods. Cut the carbs. Eat only what runs, flies or swims. And while these are great sound bites, they don't actually help people fix their eating. Dr. John Berardi can help. In this presentation, he shares his entire framework for helping clients fix their "broken diets" and get on track when it comes to eating right. He can even help if your diet needs some fixing too.

Mastering the Midlife Makeover (L)

MIKE DEMETER, BPHE, CFA, CMT, PICP 3, BIOSIGNATURE PRACTITIONER, FST, PTS Usually we think, "Exercise to get healthy," but with the 50+ trainee, it's often quite the opposite and is, in fact, "Get healthy to exercise." The 50+ (or to be honest the 35+ stressed/toxic executive) is a product of poor life choices and carrying a toxic load typically stored in their body fat. They require an elegant symphony of healers — from Chiropractors to Physiotherapists to Naturopaths. It's nice to know much, but the legalities of professing to diagnose all put the trainer in a vulnerable position. For the younger trainer that has not experienced the ardours of compromised aging, it becomes very difficult to establish a need hierarchy as well as gain faith that they possess the acumen, when questioned by the client twice their age. At 50, most clients wish to look 40 and have no desire to pretend they're 30. With this as your mantra, expect this lecture to establish a safe, effective and motivating process that actualizes the healer in all of us.

DIANA BEREAS, CAIB, CRM All insurance policies are not created equal. They contain exclusions or clauses that limit coverage availability, and in the event of a claim you want to ensure that your policy delivers what you are paying for. I will dig deeper into the wordings and showcase where some policies may fall short in providing coverage for the work you are doing. We will review a number of claims examples including information on what suits have been settled for and how coverage was or was not triggered. Also, we will discuss how claims affect your policy going forward. Join me for an interactive seminar on protecting your business with the right insurance.

30-Minute Warrior Circuit (WS) ROSS O’DONNELL, BA, CPT This session is designed by Canadians for Canadians. The biggest reason given as to why people don't exercise is, "I don't have time" — that excuse just got knocked out! Experience the ultimate “30-Minute Circuit” combining Boxing, Kickboxing, MMA, Cardio and Strength. Come away with the knowledge and skill to put together your own warrior circuit-training program. Proper setup, technique and deployment of the drills will be demonstrated for your use with clients of all fitness and skill levels.

others. But sometimes you just don't know what education you need. Or how to create a real career out of your hobby. In this “can't miss” seminar, Dr. John Berardi — one of the world's most successful fitness pros — outlines the blueprint. By the end, you’ll see that helping people lead healthier lives isn’t just the world’s most important job — if done right, it can also be the world’s most financially and emotionally rewarding.

Comprehensive Pre- & Post-Natal Training (L)LAURA EMCH BERRY, HON.BSC., CPTN-CPT, CSIA-3, CSCF-2Pre- and Post-Natal fitness has gone through a revolution over the last 10–20 years with more research being done daily. The benefits to a mother and baby from a customized fitness program are extensive. It is important for trainers to understand the physical and emotional changes that happen so they can safely guide their clients through a healthy pregnancy as well as regain their fitness post-delivery. We will discuss all aspects of pregnancy from physical limitations and modifications to emotional support and understanding. We will touch on nutrition, special high-risk conditions as well as program development for different levels of fitness.

SA4B

Cholesterol and Health (L)MELISSA PUTT, B.A., MES, CPT, RNCP, D.O. (CANDIDATE)Cholesterol is the modern dilemma of proper nutrition. The medical guideline for healthy cholesterol ranges has varied several times over the past decade, and more medications are being dispensed annually to healthy people. If you have ever wondered about the validity of diet and prescription recommendations for cholesterol lowering, this lecture will shed light on this very controversial nutrition topic. The lecture will give a detailed overview of cholesterol and fat metabolism, a history of the cholesterol recommendations and handouts that support what cholesterol options exist.

SA4C

Yoga and Fascia (WS)ANGELA JERVIS-READ, BA, CYTFascia is the tissue that binds and holds all of our parts in place. It is a communication system in and of itself, and is a network that unifies all systems of our body and mind. Fascial patterns determine your posture and how your bones articulate at joints. The practice of yoga, specifically yin yoga, is an incredible way to influence the fascial matrix. Yin yoga is an effective way to control chronic pain and to relieve the discomfort of arthritis. Yin yoga is amazing for unlocking holding patterns created by repetitive movements — very useful for athletes. Please bring a yoga mat.
