Healthy living for all. Thats the philosophy behind a new program starting at Cambrian College this September.

The fitness and health promotion program (FPRO) is the latest step in Cambrian Colleges continuous effort to offer the most up-to-date programming for students that reflects the real-time needs and demands of todays workforce.

The new program is the natural evolution of what we offer here at Cambrian, Marty Dubuc, program co-ordinator, said in a release. It combines the high quality and essential aspects of our traditional physical fitness management program, including significant hands-on experiences, but with a greater emphasis on health promotion.

Fitness is no longer just about high performance and esthetics. Overall, we are moving towards a model where healthy living for everyone is key.

The FPRO program will prepare students to meet the growing demand for health coaching, fitness expertise and recreation programming that emphasizes active living and promotion of health in various settings. Graduates will enter the workforce with a strong understanding of the link between physical literacy and exercise in health and disease prevention; exercise techniques and programming; and proper nutrition. They will also learn strategies to help clients engage in an active lifestyle as they try to achieve their fitness and health goals.

The demand in our society to have qualified leaders in the fields of physical education, health promotion, nutrition, coaching and mentorship is only growing. The need for individuals to be well is incredibly relevant today more than ever, said Kayla Condron, a graduate of the physical fitness management program.

As an employer in health and fitness at the YMCA, I know we are always looking for applicants with the type of experience and knowledge base this new program offers. As a past student of Martin Dubucs, I can say he leads by example as both an educator and fitness professional. This was something I certainly appreciated as a student who was passionate about what she was studying.
