Description of the STRENFLEX Basic Workshop Anybody excited about sports can parti cipate in this workshop. As a goal of this workshop, participants will familiarize themselves exactly with the technical regulations, the course of the competi tion, the competition exercises and the scoring principles.

The basic seminar takes four hours and consists of 50% theoretical and 50% practical training.

Each par ticipant who completes the workshop receives a certificate. The attendance of a basic workshop is the prerequisite for participating in a national STRENFLEX competition. Description of the STRENFLEX Promo Studio Information seminar regarding STREN FLEX as a profit center The content of this seminar is directed toward all gym owners, club managers, division managers, personal trainers or instructors that are sports enthusiasts and would like to introduce a new activity to their gyms.

You may have also noticed that many training indivi duals are lacking the so-called “kick” or motivation? How can you keep your members with STRENFLEX and win new ones? These subjects and many more will be addressed during this information seminar, in which we will introduce you to our concept of the STRENFLEX Promo Studio.

Description of the Judging Seminar

More and more people are enga ging in intensive training to maintain a well-trained and capable body despite their sedentary activities and the resulting lack of exercise.

This seminar is for all training and sports enthusiasts, whether they are future competitors, judges, attendants or coaches. The training days are primarily direc ted toward active or future competi tors. The goal of these training days is the improvement of the participants’ technique and performance and the joint training with other competitors. A licensed judge is present during training days to check and correct the training participants so they can per form better during the competitions. Furthermore, other subjects such as basic exercises and variations as well as training basics, how to keep trai ning notes and many others are also addressed. One training day lasts four hours. Each participant will receive a certificate of attendance. Description of the Training Day
