ME Outdoor Group Personal Trainer (ME-OPT) - This outdoor exercise class is conducted in parks, parking lots, recreation centers, and sports complexes and is a giant leap in evolution away from outdated bootcamps.
The Metabolic Effect Group Outdoor Personal Trainer (ME-OPT) is certified to teach the Metabolic Effect Outdoor Group Workout. The ME-OPT is a unique group exercise professional because they span the worlds of personal training, group exercise, as well as sports and athletic conditioning. Metabolic Effect prides itself on being one of the only formats that attracts professionals from all these backgrounds.
The ME Outdoor Group Workout is based on Metabolic Effect's signature Rest-Based Training (RBT) system. The RBT method is the guiding principle behind all ME workouts. The ME-OPT learns to manage large groups while attending to the "its all about ME" philosophy. From the instructor's point of view, the workout format is what could be described as structured flexibility. The ME-OPT works within a finite set of rules, but is able to exercise infinite creativity.
The ME-GPT certification is a prerequisite for this certification. Instructors learn new exercises, movements, circuits, and fatiguing techniques borrowed from athletic conditioning, military style training, interval exercise, metabolic conditioning and bodybuilding. The course is conducted in an online format with certification culminating in a practical examination of a 30-minute class with testing done through video submissions.
