Humber’s Fitness and Health Promotion diploma program places you at the leading edge of the healthy revolution as you learn from the expert, industry-connected faculty. 

Skills learned to go far beyond the fundamentals of exercise to include:

Anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, business administration and marketing, nutrition, injury management, special event planning, and more.

You will combine classroom theory with hands-on training and real-world experience in the unique Humber Centre for Healthy Living for a comprehensive foundation in fitness that includes working with personal training clients and preparing to earn nationally and internationally recognized certifications. 

Your dedication to wellness and your desire to positively impact lives will propel your career in this interactive and life-affirming field.

Note: Certain courses in this program require students to participate in fitness classes that will involve physical activity which may, at times, be vigorous. 

Questions about fitness classes and accommodations may be directed to the program coordinator.

Work Placement

You will get hands-on experience as a fitness professional through two unpaid work placements occurring in your third and fourth semesters. 

Your second work placement takes place off campus, two days per week for 14 weeks (180 hours total) at a fitness facility in a municipal, commercial, private or corporate setting.
