Every Medical Exercise Professional should have a pre-exercise checklist to follow. Welcome to Part 1 of the Pre-Exercise Checklist series. These videos will review a Pre-Exercise Checklist developed by METI several years ago. The idea is not to check off each item on the list but to begin to think systematically when assessing, managing and training your MET clients. Click here download the Pre-Exercise Checklist.

Transitioning to medical exercise training (MET) can be challenging for personal trainers just completing the Medical Exercise Specialist certification. Over the last 28 years we have assisted thousands of MedXPROs making the shift. In this post we identify a few characteristics of a successful Medical Exercise Training practice compared to a Personal Training Business.

Personal Training Business Characteristics

Medical Exercise Training Practice

Making the transitioning to a medical exercise training (MET) practice from personal training business is possible without eliminating the personal training component. It’s a process and it takes time but it can be done. In later posts we will review each step in making the transition.

Now, we’re finding physicians, surgeons, and other health professionals are looking for more advanced MET services for their patients. Many of our graduates want to know how to handle more complex MET cases. They want the skills to be able to handle client cases effectively and speak with doctors with the complete knowledge and confidence of the exercise programs they have developed.

That’s why we created the "Advanced Medical Exercise Specialist Residency”.

By the time you’re done with the residency, you’re able to work directly with physicians and therapists, understanding even the most complex cases, and be able to manage a client’s case from the...

The AMES residency 2022 starts March 6th!! The Advanced Medical Exercise Specialist Residency (AMES) is the more comprehensive and detailed medical exercise training education available in the industry.

This is our second AMES residency. We are taking 12 students for the program. This is an intense deep dive into the management of medical conditions using exercise. The AMES goes into detail with the MET assessment including manual muscle testing, goniometry, some special testing as well as report writing and documentation. 

There is also a 4-day onsite AMES workshop which each resident may attend. We have 3 dates for the AMES workshop in 2022. Click HERE for more information. 

The next Medical Exercise Specialist Study Group begins February 22nd at 9pm ET. This is the first session of our 12 session MES Study Group. Each MESSG session is a 60 minute live Zoom session during which Dr Mike will review, summarize  and help you understand how to apply the information in the 50 lessons from the MEST program.

Each MESSG session is recorded and available for your later viewing. The schedule for this MESSG is noted below. You may join anytime. You may repeat the MESSSG as many as you feel necessary in your preparation for the MES final examination.

Beginning in February 2022 all Medical Exercise Specialists, Post Rehab Conditioning Specialists and Medical Exercise Program Directors are required to complete "Medical Exercise Professional Ethics Training".

As the need for Medical Exercise Training grows, MedXPROs will develop relationships with clients with medical conditions, medical professionals and insurance carriers. These relationships as well as the services provided by the MedXPRO will require a greater understanding and awareness of ethical standards.

The Medical Exercise Professional Ethics Training is a 90 minute to 2 hour online course reviewing the ethical principles governing the delivery of medical exercise training services. There is a ethic quiz at the conclusion of the training. The certification of completion must be submitted with your METI renewal documents when you renew. 

The Medical Exercise Training Institute is happy to share our 2022 offerings with ALL medical exercise professionals. 2022 will definitely be the year of "Medical Exercise Training". The changes in health care, the impact of Covid and the continued numbers affected by chronic diseases will make medical exercise professionals (MedXPROs) more important players in the medical management team. 

2022 will see METI continue it's Advanced Medical Exercise Specialist Residency as well as introducing the first MET Practice Management System .....The MedXPRO/ClinicMaster electronic medical record platform. The MedXPRO/ClinicMaster will revolutionize medical exercise training and provide the needed elements for MedXPROs to better manage their clients, document and share functional outcomes as well as communicate with medical professionals including physicians, therapists and chiropractors.
