The Injury Prevention Kit is a 3-pronged system, empowering Trainers and Coaches to easily and effectively overcome high injury rates during individual and group fitness.

Clients, regardless of their state of injury, benefit tremendously from personal trainers who intentionally play a part in their injury prevention ‘team’. Clients who experience an injury-aware trainer become, and stay, motivated to improve their movement and function, even if they are at the time being seen by health care professionals for an injury and are unable to do certain exercises.

But how can you be intentional without accidentally stepping outside of your scope of practice and attempting be a physiotherapist?

The answer is simple: coach the process via our previously described Injury Prevention Kit (IPK), thereby becoming an Injury Prevention Coach (IPC)!

Growing into an IPC will vastly improve your:

Our Testimonials

Injury Prevention Kit
Josh Piterman

I own one of Melbourne’s Elite Functional Fitness studio’s “The Functional Project”. We have a database of over 250 clients and 4 fantastic trainers. It couldn’t have happened without injecting myself into the MFT course and clearly following the systems that were laid out to me. We have a 3 tier training system, that not only includes traditional PT but a Semi-Private Training system, which increases our earning capacity by up to 400% on every session. Learning this system alone is reason enough to take up the course!

None of these classes would be possible without the training and knowledge I gained from the MFT course and the constant ongoing support I get from the entire FTI team! I would highly recommend the MFT course to every trainer looking to increase their functional training knowledge and create a profitable business model.

Since completing the MFT course I find I have really expanded my business and knowledge. I have become so much more confident in assessing and being able to help my clients in their quest to reach their goal not only in strength and fitness but help in so many other aspects. I have also been able to increase my hourly rate and have satisfied clients which equates to referrals.

I highly recommend the MFT to anyone who wants to grow their business and become a better trainer. The staff and coaches are great mentors, always willing to go that extra mile to help along the way. The trainers you meet help you become part of the MFT community, it’s like having a family of network and support. I truly thank you guys at the FTI for making a difference to my business and life.

Every time I walk away from any event held by FTI I’m so inspired and excited. The BEST thing I ever did was sign up to the MFT program, and to decide to throw myself into all the courses I can. Not only is the content amazing, the people I’ve met inspire me greatly. Being surrounded by other ‘amazing’ coaches within the FTI community is second to none and so crucial.

Strength and conditioning programming involves designing structured exercise routines to enhance an athlete’s physical performance. This includes improving strength, speed, endurance, and flexibility. Effective programs consider factors like the athlete’s goals, current fitness level, and sport-specific needs​​​​.

Designing a program requires a needs analysis. Setting clear goals and understanding the athlete’s current fitness level are essential. The program should include a balanced routine with warm-ups, strength training, conditioning, flexibility, and cool-downs. Periodization and progressive overload are key principles. These ensure continual improvement and help avoid plateaus.

Typically, a program includes the following phases:

Hypertrophy/General Preparation: Focus on building muscle mass and basic fitness.

Basic Strength: Increase overall strength with moderate volume and high intensity.

Strength-Power: Enhance power with lower volume but very high intensity. Peaking/Maintenance: Optimize performance and maintain fitness levels.

Active Rest: Allow for recovery with very low volume and intensity​​​​.

Rest and recovery are crucial. They allow the body to repair and strengthen. Adequate recovery prevents overtraining and injuries. Rest days, deload weeks, and proper sleep are essential components. They are key to a well-rounded program.

Nutrition fuels workouts and aids in recovery. A balanced diet with adequate protein, carbohydrates, and fats is vital. These nutrients provide energy and support muscle repair. Hydration is also critical. It impacts performance and recovery significantly.

  1. Progress can be measured through performance testing and tracking key performance indicators (KPIs). Common tests include 1RM (one-repetition maximum) lifts, sprint times, and agility drills. Regular testing helps adjust the program to keep improving​​​​. 

Conditioning can include aerobic exercises like running and cycling. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is another option. Conditioning improves cardiovascular fitness and endurance. It complements strength training. Conditioning should align with the athlete’s sport-specific needs.

Common mistakes include neglecting warm-ups and inadequate rest. Not following a structured plan and ignoring individual differences are also common errors. Overemphasizing certain exercises while neglecting others can lead to imbalances. This can also result in injuries.

Customization involves tailoring exercises to mimic sport-specific movements. It also addresses the unique demands of each sport. For example, a soccer player’s program might emphasize lower-body strength and agility. In contrast, a swimmer’s program would focus on upper-body endurance and flexibility
