Completion of an IFI Certification
An IFI education allows our students to produce life-changing results for their clients on their own, or on xAlt. IFI continuously works to test, redefine, and validate its methodology so its students and their clients get the best education and results possible. Our trainers/coaches who train clients on xAlt have proven results of members who have achieved life-changing and lasting health outcomes. We’re confident that you will be able to create the same change with everyone who trains with you.
Who are IFI courses for?
Certifications are suitable for experienced industry certified trainers and university graduates aspiring for a career in health and fitness, or for established professionals including physical therapists, chiropractors, athletic trainers and strength and conditioning coaches seeking professional development and diversification of skills to be part of the xAlt trainer network.
