Building Your Business as a Fitness Entrepreneur: Tips for Sharpening Your Expert E.D.G.E.- Michelle Cederberg, MSc, CSEP-CEP, ORSC-Team Trained Coach
Now, more than ever, the work you do as a fitness professional is in high-demand, and people will pay for it. The question to ask yourself then is: How do I capitalize on my enthusiasm, education, and expertise to create a thriving business and brand?

Michelle Cederberg is an enduring proponent of health and fitness. She holds a Masters in Kinesiology, a BA in Psychology, a specialization in Health and Exercise Psychology, and is a Certified Exercise Physiologist. At the start of her career she applied that knowledge as a personal trainer, group exercise leader, college educator and fitness director. Juggling clients, classes, long hours, and crazy schedules, she learned how rewarding and challenging this work can be.

Over 15 years ago she expanded her career beyond the gym to become a full-time professional speaker, life coach and author educating others about fitness, life balance and health. She knows what's possible in this industry and beyond, and challenges you to explore your limits to truly excel as a fitness professional and entrepreneur.

In this session she shares how certain ways of thinking can limit your progress in work and in life and discusses ways for you to understand and manage that voice within. She helps you identify and navigate your Expert E.D.G.E.© so you can celebrate your skills and talents in a bigger way. She helps you find unique and creative ways to monetize your expertise though products and services you might not have thought about, and hopefully lights an entrepreneurial fire in you for the work you do and what's important to you.

 
Children and Youth-  Jessica Power Cyr M.Sc., B.Sc.Kin. CSEP-CEP, CSEP-CPT IE, ACSM-CEP  
In June 2016 CSEP released the world’s first evidence-based movement guidelines for Children and Youth for the whole day. In this session Jessica will discuss the current research and review the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines: An Integration of Physical Activity, Sedentary Behaviour and Sleep. She will provide insight along with tools on how to empower Children and Youth to sweat, step, sleep and sit the right amounts for a healthy 24-hours. Evidence suggest that Children and Youth who follow the guidelines will help reduce their risk for chronic disease, have a more focused mind, a strong fit body, and a more satisfying life. Come "Get Powered Up" with Jess and be part of the change!

Join Shawn for an engaging and innovative session on the integration of barefoot activation.  In this session Shawn will explore working barefoot and discuss why training barefoot is beneficial even when shoes seem to provide the support and shock absorption needed for optimal performance.  He will breakdown the function of the human foot and provide you with the tools to design programs around foot to core sequencing.  Foot to core sequencing is beneficial for every client, patient and athlete.  Whether the goal is to improve performance, correct movement dysfunction or lose weight – barefoot training will improve overall movement.  

CSEP – CPT Scope of Practice Update
The CSEP-CPT Scope of Practice (SOP) was updated in November 2018 to remove the age restrictions for CSEP-CPTs. The expanded SOP will allow CSEP-CPTs to work with clients of all ages. As the Gold Standard in exercise science and personal training, CSEP continues to ensure our certifications reflect the highest standards, industry trends, and best practices while continually considering member input. This expanded Scope of Practice allows CSEP-CPTs to expand their potential client base and make the CSEP-CPT certification more valuable. The update includes a module focused on working with Children & Youth and a module focused on working with Older Adults. Once completed you will be able to practice under the updated Scope of Practice.
