Bridge the Gap: Elevating Personal Training to Healthcare Professionalism

Elevate Your Personal Training to New Heights with Healthcare Expertise

Welcome to a groundbreaking opportunity at Rock Solid Fitness, where your journey into the nexus of physical therapy and personal training begins.

Led by Patty Durell, our CEO, a licensed physical therapist assistant, master-level personal trainer, and certified conditioning specialist, we’re proud to introduce the “Bridge the Gap Between Physical Therapy and Personal Training” course.

This innovative program is the first of its kind, designed to transform personal trainers into healthcare professionals, equipped with the knowledge and skills to safely and effectively manage their clients’ fitness and rehabilitation needs.

The Rising Need for Skilled Personal Trainers

In today’s fitness industry, the line between health care and personal training is increasingly blurred. Healthcare providers often hesitate to refer patients to personal trainers due to concerns over safety and the effectiveness of the training provided.

Similarly, potential clients may be wary of personal training services after negative experiences or hearing about injuries from others. This has created a pressing need for a new breed of personal trainers: professionals who are as informed about injury prevention and rehabilitation as they are about fitness and strength training.

A Comprehensive Approach to Personal Training and Fitness Education

Patty’s course is a direct response to this gap, offering a comprehensive curriculum that bridges the divide. It’s not just about lifting weights or counting reps; it’s about understanding the human body, recognizing the signs of strain and stress, and knowing how to adapt exercises to meet individual needs safely.

Whether it’s working with a rehabilitating athlete or a senior seeking to maintain mobility, this course will equip you with the tools you need to serve a wider range of clients effectively.

Elevating Personal Training Standards

By signing up for this course, you’re not just enhancing your resume; you’re taking a step towards changing the personal training landscape.

You’re becoming a pioneer in a new field of fitness professionals who value safety, personalization, and health as much as physical strength and endurance. Join us to elevate your career, expand your client base, and become a trusted professional in a world where fitness and healthcare meet.

Patty’s journey started in physical therapy over 27 years ago, helping folks bounce back from big health setbacks. But she didn’t stop there. She saw people needed more than just recovery; they needed a way to stay strong and healthy.

Well, she’s got experience in spades. She’s been featured on TV, in magazines, and on podcasts talking all things fitness and business. She’s also a go-to expert for colleges like Saint Petersburg College and Keiser University, helping shape the next generation of fitness pros.

In 2012, Patty made a big move. She opened Rock Solid Fitness, her own spot where she could do things her way. Started in Clearwater and quickly moving to a bigger space in Dunedin, her gym is all about personal attention and science-backed training.

Patty’s the real deal because she combines her physical therapy background with her fitness expertise. She’s leading the charge with her course “Bridge the Gap Between Physical Therapy and Personal Training,” aiming to make personal trainers into health heroes who can keep you safe and get you strong.

Beyond the Classroom: Integrating Physical Therapy into Your Fitness Career
