VertiMax, the world leader in sports performance, functional, and rehabilitative training systems, announced their new virtual certification set to release in July 2020.

VertiMax, firmly committed to supporting and educating the Sports Performance and Fitness community, has created a new virtual certification to support customers and distributors around the world in using VertiMax Platforms and Raptors.

Influenced by recent changes brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, VertiMax understands that high-quality virtual training has become a necessity for the global sports performance and fitness marketplace. The VertiMax Digital Certification is already approved by the American Council of Exercise, for 0.6 credits and VertIMax is currently in the process of submitting the course to be pre-approved through NASM and AFAA as well.

VertiMax will continue to offer its more hands-on in-person certifications, which were launched in 2019, through its team of accomplished Master Trainers. The American Council on Exercise and NASM has accredited the in-person certification courses and will extend credits to professionals for the new digital certifications as well.

Jessie Ehren, VertiMax International Training Coordinator said:

“The Sports Performance and Fitness community are seeking educational opportunities during this time. Adding to their knowledge base, bringing more value to their training and advancing their resumes are all great attributes to attending digital education courses. Attendees will learn training skills and programming with an accredited course conducted by our U.S. Master Trainers.”

Bryan K. O’Rourke, an executive and investor in VertiMax through his private equity fund Vedere Ventures said:

“This new wave of learning has driven the team to launch its virtual VertiMax Certification Course earlier than planned. With live events being postponed and canceled, VertiMax took the opportunity to convert the full-day, in-person course with the help of Inspire360 as the host platform along with video tutorials, articles, slides, and assessments.”

VertiMax offered digital support throughout the shutdown via their training App, which covers multiple sports and includes in-season and off-season training.

Al Marez, COO of VertiMax said:

“As schools and facilities were forced to close and group gatherings were limited, parents of athletes and fitness enthusiasts sought ways to continue their own or their athletes’ training journeys. With the support of the VertiMax App, individuals who did not have the experience and elite knowledge were able to coach and conduct their own VertiMax workouts. VertiMax thanks everyone who has adjusted to the new changes and continues to keep performance and fitness a focus as we keep a positive mindset. See you back on the field and court in no time!”

Gary Oleinik, Director of Sales and Marketing of Perform Better UK, said:

“As we adapt to unprecedented times, the need for solid online training resources is higher than ever. Virtual training allows us to better serve our clients by adding the value of education when selling top sports performance technology like the VertiMax range.”

“VertiMax Certified virtual training supports our customers to the highest level post-sale by providing them with all the tools needed to be a successful Vertimax user. We at Perform Better pride ourselves on implementing the best cutting-edge sports tech available and support our clients with the highest quality sports science support. That is what VertiMax offers.”

The VertiMax App contains 100’s of videos, fitness workouts, and pre-season/in-season/off-season sports programming is available onsite or by downloading on your iOS or Android App Store.
