Mastery starts with biomechanics.
Functional anatomy and force application are central to the majority of exercise prescription decisions. Biomechanics Mastery equips personal trainers with the principles and perspectives they need to confidently drive powerful client results and build impactful businesses.
Building an impactful business flows outwards from career excellence. The Biomechanics Mastery professional development program cultivates a clinical understanding of personal training so that you can tackle with confidence the problems you face at work, distinguish yourself form your peers, and make a great living doing what you love.
The curriculum
Unit 1: Biomechanical Foundations
This unit sets the stage for the remainder of the program. Anatomy and biomechanics is daunting for most, and it doesn't need to be. Topics include:
- Force
- Effort vs Resistance
- Kinetics vs. Kinematics
- Resultants
- Inertia
- Motor planning, and much more.
Precise language is essential for shared understanding.
Biomechanics Mastery starts there.
Unit 2: Spine biomechanics
The anatomy & function of the spine, demystified. Topics include:
- Vertebral and Intervertebral disc anatomy
- Training & injury considerations
- Training trunk musculature,
- Trunk exercise analysis, and much more.
Unit 3: Lower body biomechanics
Learn the anatomy & function of the hip, knee and ankle. Topics include:
- Hip anatomy & function
- Knee anatomy & function
- Ankle anatomy & function
- The biomechanics of valgus, glute & training
- Training considerations and exercise analysis of lower body exercises to level-up your exercise prescription, and much more.
Unit 4: Upper body biomechanics
Learn the anatomy & function of the shoulder and elbow. Topics include:
- Shoulder anatomy & function
- Elbow anatomy & function
- Pec & lat function
- SC joint mechanics and why it's the hidden key to understanding scapulohumeral mechanics.
- Training considerations to maximize results in upper body training and exercise analysis to level-up your exercise prescription.
+ Monthly Q&A & "Bell Ringers"
The best learning is active. This is why we have monthly Q&A's, an interactive community, regular homework, and "Bell Ringers".
"Bell Ringers" are unique to he Biomechanics Mastery program. During Bell Ringers, students engage in live rapid fire quizzes designed to cement understanding and deepen understanding.
Here's what past students have to say about our programs
"Etienne has absolutely shaped, and in some ways revolutionized, my approach to being a fitness professional. Through his guidance, I have developed a deeper understanding of the base components of the human body, which in turn has allowed me to make more educated decisions regarding my own clients.
I would not be half the trainer that I am today if it wasn’t for Etienne’s help over the years, and anyone who has an opportunity to learn from him should seize it!"
Ryan T.
"As a student of Etienne’s, I’ve developed thought processes that have been fundamental to my overall understanding of exercise science.
If you have an opportunity to learn from Etienne, do not hesitate to take the chance. You will leave any teaching opportunity of his refreshed with new knowledge, and/or a more refined application of the knowledge you may already have. His sheer passion for his craft speaks for itself."
Lorenz Z.
"Etienne's knowledge is exceptional, but what truly sets him and this course apart, is his ability to communicate complex concepts in a way that is both engaging and easy to understand. Etienne is an outstanding educator who creates a positive and stimulating learning environment. I left the course with a much deeper understanding of biomechanics and anatomy. Anyone who has the opportunity to learn from him is fortunate to do so."

Your instructor: Etienne Asselin, mhRTS
Hi there, my name is Etienne Asselin, I'm the founder of The Exercise Mechanic.
As your instructor, my goal is to empower you. This means I may not always give you the answers you're looking for on a silver platter. I may make you work for them. I do this because the best learning requires active engagement not passive consumption. My goal is to take you beyond surface level memorization and into the rare air of clinical understanding.
I believe in creating a fun, dynamic, tailored and judgement-free learning environment for my students. Learning new things can be messy and uncomfortable at times. My job is to not only share with you the lessons I've learned throughout the years, but also teach you where to look so that you're equipped with the tools you need to be successful long beyond our time together.
