The Healthy Lifestyle Principles course is the new pre-requisite course for all other YMCA of the USA Health and Fitness certifications. It provides practical and theoretical information for instructors of all YMCA health and fitness programs, including information on effective leadership, basic physical activity and healthy lifestyles principles, and program safety guidelines. The course also covers the YMCA mission, philosophy, and the national program training and certification system. No to low activity. Street clothes are appropriate.

Course content includes member service and orientation procedures, leadership and relationship building strategies for working with members, exercise science and practical applications, and exercise instruction for strength, flexibility, and cardiovascular training. Course includes practical sessions using carious exercise equipment, case studies, and a written exam.
