Fitness Certification Study Hub
Concept-first breakdowns of the exercise science topics that matter most — written the way they should have been taught. No fluff, no memorisation tricks. Just understanding.
A timed, exam-style mock of the full CPT syllabus — 100 questions across every domain, with a 90-minute timer, flag-and-review, resume-where-you-left-off, and a per-domain score breakdown that shows exactly where you are weak. The closest thing to sitting the real exam.

From whole muscle to molecular motor. Sarcomere anatomy, cross-bridge cycle, fiber types, GTO & spindle — all animated.
Frequency, exercise selection, volume, intensity, tempo, rest intervals, and session structure. Table 9-12 and all the exam numbers in one place.
Amino acids → mTOR → ribosomes → muscle. The full cellular chain, the growth equation, common mistakes, and what to tell clients about protein timing.
43 questions across 3 formats — 25 MCQ, 10 True/False, 8 open-ended. Covers sarcomere, actin/myosin, cross-bridge cycle, muscle spindle, GTO, and fiber types.
How your nervous system recruits Type I, IIa, and IIx fibres, what each one burns, and exactly how to fuel every activity. Henneman's Size Principle, crossover concept, energy systems, and per-fibre nutrition strategy.
A deep breakdown of the Phosphagen System, Aerobic & Anaerobic Glycolysis, and exactly what happens inside the muscle fiber at a microscopic level.

The six steps to run before you program a single set — Check, Look, Inquire, Ease In, Navigate, Track. Why the program is the last move and not the first, what each step protects you from, and where it comes from: ACSM screening, the ACE IFT movement assessment, the needs-analysis framework, and the six training variables.

PAR-Q to programming in one guide. Client assessment, 7 movement patterns, muscle groups, Table 9-12, 4 program templates, 80+ exercise library, session flow, coaching cues, and red flags.

Acute vs chronic, 8 types, mechanisms, and the 5-step resolution protocol. Colour-coded cards, timeline comparison, and a complete quick-reference table.
How tight junctions work, what zonulin does, what damages the barrier, and the full 3-stage leaky gut cascade. Includes the 4-8 week Remove → Restore → Rebuild repair protocol.
One hormone controls everything: Insulin. Discover how to flip the master switch from sugar-burning mode into fat-burning mode.

IgE allergy vs IgG sensitivity vs enzyme deficiency — mechanisms, timing, symptoms, and what to actually do about each. Includes the leaky gut connection and why most "food allergies" are reversible sensitivities.

How hard to train, how to eat, and how fast change is actually possible. Cardio intensity across all 9 scales (%HRmax, %HRR, %VO₂R, METs, both RPE scales, 5-zone & 3-zone, talk test) with the Tanaka, Karvonen & VO₂R formulas; strength bands with the full %1RM↔reps↔RIR conversion chart; 77 Indian foods decoded to macros; and honest fat-loss, muscle-gain (Aragon model) and recomposition timelines.
What happens to food, and what everything costs. A 10-stage mouth-to-ATP digestion map for all three macros — every enzyme, hormone and transporter — with 8 client myths answered; ICMR-NIN vitamin & mineral doses vs US RDAs with timing and avoid/pair-together interaction tables; and 120 activities costed in kcal & kJ at three bodyweights, plus BMR-equation comparison and a full TDEE breakdown.
Measure the client, keep them safe, write the block. Five live calculators (skinfold, US Navy tape, BMI & ratios, FFMI, 1RM estimator) with the 8 skinfold sites, caliper protocol and WHO-vs-Asian cutoffs; ACSM pre-participation screening, 2017 ACC/AHA blood-pressure categories, contraindications, 11 drug classes and stop-now red flags; plus 1RM formulas, strength standards, session-RPE, ACWR load management, the 5-phase warm-up, progression models and deload triggers.
Read a blood report without overstepping. 61 biomarkers across three tiers — foundation (glucose, HbA1c, insulin, HOMA-IR, full lipids, liver, kidney, CBC), risk (ApoB, Lp(a), remnant cholesterol, hs-CRP, homocysteine, iron, vitamin D, B12, omega-3) and hormones (full thyroid, male & female panels, cortisol, DHEA-S, IGF-1) — each with optimal ranges and A–D evidence grades; STOP-BANG sleep-apnoea screening, AHI bands and HRV norms; and what falsely distorts results (biotin, creatine, statins, metformin, TRT, fasting, cycle phase). Written for referral, not diagnosis.
All 6 tests, 10 findings, and the complete RLAI correction protocol. Sit & Reach, Thomas Test (3 findings), Passive SLR, Apley's Scratch, Shoulder Flexion, Ankle Dorsiflexion — tight structures, weak muscles, and the full release-to-integrate chain.
