Online Workout Provider Partners with ISSA
Online fitness training website announces partnership with the International Sports Sciences Association to offer discounts on online training tools for ISSA certified trainers.
Cupertino, CA (PRWEB) January 6, 2009 -- The leaders in online fitness (https://www.hyperstrike.com/pro/) training, HyperStrike, announced that they will be entering a partnership with the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA). The ISSA will be promoting HyperStrike Pro: the leading online workout and coaching program for certified personal trainers. ISSA certified personal trainers will be able to receive a discounted subscription to HyperStrike Pro's online training tools.
Trainers and clients benefit from HyperStrike Pro because of its professional capabilities and the freedom that it offers personal trainers to take on an unlimited number of remote, online training clients without hindering the quality of their training. By moving their workout programs and exercise plans online, personal trainers will free themselves of valuable travel time and expenses. Remote, online fitness clients involve selecting meal plans and determining online workout (https://www.hyperstrike.com/my_newplan.aspx?page=becomeuser) programs that fit a particular client's needs. When remote clients have questions they can make posts onto their online trainer's message board. Since it requires less work, this new tier of online fitness training service can be offered at a lower price, making it accessible to a wider range of clientele.
While trainers benefit by gaining the ability to take on more clients, HyperStrike Pro offers advantages to those participating in the online training programs as well. The custom workout programs (http://www.hyperstrike.com/issa-pro/) are available to the clients 24/7, removing the necessity for them to balance their workout with their busy schedules. An online workout program from HyperStrike Pro allows clients to complete their workout when it is convenient to them. Additionally, the clients can download each exercise to their iPhone, iPod Touch, or Windows Mobile device.
The online workout programs (https://www.hyperstrike.com/pro/default.aspx) personal trainers gain through a membership to HyperStrike Pro include online fitness training tools, online nutrition & meal planning tools, a personal trainer web-portal, a fitness & nutrition education library, FitScore™ total fitness assessments, and 3-D video demonstrations of over 600 exercises, including functional and body-weight only movements.
Through its promotion of the HyperStrike Pro, the ISSA will be able to extend a 30-day trial membership to the online fitness program. Additionally, ISSA certified trainers will be able to take $10 off the monthly subscription fee. To date, the ISSA has certified over 110,000 personal trainers.

As an addendum regarding the ISSA, the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA) has just become the first U.S.-based fitness organization to earn national accreditation from a federally recognized accrediting agency–the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC)–the standard-setting agency for distance education institutions.

The United States Department of Education lists the Accrediting Commission of the DETC as a nationally recognized accrediting agency. The Secretary of Education is required by law to publish a list of nationally recognized accrediting agencies. These agencies have been determined by the Secretary to reliably evaluate the quality of education provided by institutions of higher education.
The Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) also recognizes the Accrediting Commission of the DETC. CHEA is a private nonprofit national organization that coordinates accreditation activity in the United States. Recognition by CHEA affirms that the standards and processes of accrediting organizations are consistent with the quality, improvement, and accountability expectations of the CHEA. As with the US Department of Education, DETC accreditation meets these standards. (It’s worthwhile to note that NCCA accreditation does not qualify.)

For military personnel, The ISSA is also listed in the DANTES catalog as an approved education provider. The ISSA is the first U.S. based fitness organization to earn this distinction.
