"Words cannot even describe how much this course has helped me. I have been a CPT for 4 years and programming has always been debilitating to me. Annie created something that the fitness world was severely missing. Thank you!"
- Libby (CPT)
I believe
That a deeper understanding of anatomy, physiology and program design breeds confidence in your coaching practice.
You're not a "fitspo"
You're certified and/or have a degree in kinesiology, biomechanics, exercise and sport science or similar.
You provide or want to provide 1:1 and possibly group progressive templated programming, know the basics, understand the difference between strength and hypertrophy. You know what rest and tempo are, you have some level of confidence with your current programming abilities, but you're looking to solidify your understanding, be able to program long term, in a time efficient manner, and create structure to your programming that gets results for your clients. You want to explore different styles of strength training AND also know how to piece them all together. That part is a tad overwhelming.
You're a fitsPRO
that's typically the way it goes...
"If I had better programming skills, I would be more confident in selling my service/program." Or, "I just want to be more fluid in my programming. It's clunky. I know the pieces, but have a hard time piecing them together to get repeatable results for my clients."
If yes, pure programming is for you
"I already feel much more confident in making my own programs and playing around with different splits and exercises. Before starting this course I was so worried I would "get it wrong" if my program wasn't perfect, but I already understand there are so many MORE ways to get it right!" - Alicia
Hi, hello. It me.
After graduating with my degree in Exercise and Sport science in 2013, becoming a certified strength and conditioning specialist, changing course from college strength and performance coach to personal training, I found my calling in the world of online health and fitness.
Education and authenticity are at the center of Annie Miller Concepts [two things I saw a shortage of in the online space]. I built my business through my 12 month programming offers: 1:1 remote training, and Built By Annie. As well as supporting offers focused on education and client efficacy: Movement 101 and the Big Lift Audit.
Now I find myself passing those tactics and strategies on to YOU. How to apply concepts and connect the dots for efficient and effective strength and hypertrophy programming. My aim is to share my 10+ years of education, experience and program design, so that you can do better for your clients, and yourself.
[the OG FitsPRO]
the name's Annie
you can expect to
Understand basic to intermediate muscular anatomy and physiology as applied to strength and hypertrophy training.
Use evidence based assessment and programming methods to create a 3-12 month strength and hypertrophy program for 1:1 or group memberships.
Seamlessly progress one phase of programming to the next - connecting the dots between different concepts and approaches to strength.
Create a repeatable program design system that breeds client results (contingent on adherence).
Feel more fluid and efficient in your programming process.
You can program without questioning whether what's on paper will work in the gym.
You can feel confident selling your methods.
You can have a system and understanding of program principals that saves you time + provides results.

At the start of the course I had a very basic understanding of programming. I had a hard time pairing exercises and easily confused myself. Now I feel more clear on how to pick exercises, pair them and what a proper set up of macro, meso and microcycles includes.
I have definitely applied what I have learned to my programming for my brother (lol thought I'd try it out on him first), was able to create a 3 day full body split with a focus on bench since that is what he wants to work on and he said so far best month of workouts and has drastically improved strength, and power!
- erika: CF & nutrition coach
I feel so much more confident in programming! I know I am a good trainer.
I just didn't know where to start. I have already applied the training splits brain gains. New client needed 2 days to get her program in, so we have a full body, upper body pull AND push in each day, plus core and mobility. She was SO excited when she saw her program.

- fantina: pilates instructor
At the beginning I felt overwhelmed with all of the knowledge available about strength training. Now I feel more comfortable and sure about myself and that I will have the needed tools to be able to create efficiënt programs for my clients.
- tharaniya: cpt w/ rehab focus
I have been able to apply rest periods and the reasoning behind it (which I hadn't added into my programming in the past). I was also able to send a message to my clients (along with their program) explaining why I chose a particular split in accordance with their schedule as well as particular exercises to suit their individual needs/goals (while including a balanced selection of push, pull, hinge, squat, carry variations)
- Kara Meinhardt
I LOVED learning about the different training methods and progressions, I realized there are so many trainers out there programming the most random crap!!! I feel 100% more confident now with my own programming and helping others!! So PUMPED to start applying what I learned!
- Mallory Lindsley-Cicek
Absolutely LOVED every bit of the course. The deep dive into various methods was eye opening and really helped me see that there was more to a good program than just trying to hit as many muscles as you can in each workout. There is so much useful information to continue to learn and apply and I can't wait to provide better programming and results to my clients. I am more prepared now, than when I completed my CPT 3 years ago.
This course is outstanding in every way: it's detailed and the concepts build over time from background / foundational information through practical application. I learned a lot and I've been writing programs for years. Now I feel equipped to write them in a more effective, long-term, considered way.

This course is a very thorough dive into all that is needed to know in order to elevate your programming skills! I loved the depth the periodization section goes into - so much so that I will probably need to do some reading and re-reading to really grasp it! I was very impressed with how thoughtfully designed this course is.

Anna Goodgion
“This course provided all of the step by step parts of program design and Annie designed this course so that each step of the course prepared you for the next. The information is thorough but paced nicely for an already busy entrepreneur. I felt so set up for success in how she laid out the course and timing of the course. She was able to take very highly detailed and high-level concepts & make them applicable for the newer coach. What it did for me was give me the confidence to APPLY (some of which i already knew was important) the basics in an educated manner - one where there is true INTENTION not just slapping together a "workout" for a month at a time.”

"I love the systematic, repeatable method of program design. I feel like I have a way better knowledge of the parameters necessary to build an effective, enjoyable training program and am excited the improvements in my clients' strength and muscle gain."

"This course was very eye opening from a client and trainer perspective.
As a client I have never been exposed to the hypertrophy and strength methods that were discussed in the course and I have been working with trainers for 10 years. It is what you called a nonlinear progression style of programming.
I am excited to incorporate what I have learned about periodization as well as experiment with some of the methods in module 5. I can't wait to see how this improves my own strength grains (which I had felt had plateaued) and incorporate this with my training clients to deliver better results."

- Mallory Lindsley-Cicek
The periodization methods was exactly what I needed. How to actually apply the knowledge I had from my certification was invaluable. And the final program submission was amazing because now I can just drag and drop and then adjust for each individual client. This course made strength programming faster, easier, and far more effective for both myself and my clients.

I loved the simple breakdowns of each section and how you would reference older sections/concepts to bring it full-circle. That's what I feel has been missing from so many larger organization courses I've taken - teaching the basics and then revisiting them and explaining how they apply to new concepts or real-life application/examples. You said it multiple times through this course but truly the "connecting the dots" is what I found so much value in and haven't seen other places.
I also really enjoyed being able to take pieces along the way and apply it to current client/personal programming. I felt like I was continually gaining knowledge and clarify through this course and didn't have to wait until the end for an "ah-ha" moment of it all coming together.
