Frequently Asked Questions

  • You’ll get professionally filmed video lectures, review exercises to solidify the material, Q&A’s with deep-dive feedback, and practical tools you can start using with clients right away. It’s fully online and self-paced. The CEU value reflects the approximate time commitment (for example, 0.4 CEUs ≈ 4 hours). I highly recommend treating this as a class! Have a notebook, learn the material, and really improve your knowledge base.

  • I’ll be your main instructor (Read more here) and I have a few specializations. As both a lifestyle medicine physician and certified personal trainer, you can think of me as a bridge between medicine and fitness—which I find to be very helpful when it comes to teaching this material.

    Throughout the course each Building Block will also have an expert contributor specializing in that specific topic. And they are awesome! Everything we teach comes from clinically-proven lifestyle medicine strategies and real-world experience.

  • The biggest difference is that most courses give you information, and I focus on implementation. The exercises you’ll do in the course can be applied to your clients as well. Anyone can tell a client what to do. The hard part is helping them actually follow through. That’s why behavior science and habit formation are built into every course we teach. My goal is for you to walk away more confident and more effective immediately—not just with another certificate.

  • I want to be brutally honest here. This course is for fitness professionals who are looking to really have a stronger grasp on evidence-based healthy living. And you’re going to learn it from a Lifestyle Medicine MD who knows fitness in and out. Something we all know is that health and fitness results are just as dependent as what you do outside the gym as what you do inside. the gym. And you’re going to learn how to optimize ALL of them AND learn how to really incorporate them into daily life—that’s why behavior change is built into each Building Block. It’s a game changer for your career.

  • YES! Which isn’t always the case with continuing education. One coach told me, “Your courses are so engaging — they’re my favorite from all of the continuing education I’m taking.” Another said, “Thank you for going the extra mile! I see it and I appreciate it.” That kind of feedback means a lot to me, because I put a lot of care into the experience and I want you to succeed.

  • We absolutely do. Continuing Education is meant to improve skills that you want to develop. We don’t want anyone to waste their time on something they aren’t finding helpful. If you are unsatisfied with the course, you’ll get 100% of your money back.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

  • Tori W.

    I was connected with Dr. Christo when I was at a point in my fitness journey where I had plateaud in the gym. After a few sessions with him, we were able to pinpoint gaps in my nutrition, sleep and stress management — all while I learned exercise principles to help my body gain muscle. His non-judgmental approach and whole person technique was so refreshing. I can’t recommend Atlas enough!

  • Dan D.

    The “Transformation” modules were my favorite. You hear about some of these ideas, but I thought the interactive exercises were really helpful. I’m hoping to use the Rules of Two more to make my routines as healthy as I can.

  • Jeni F.

    I am not only getting the physique I've been wanting, but I'm embracing healthy living and I'm loving it.

  • Dustin S.

    Having an engaged doctor leading this program has been great and he was very responsive when I needed additional clarification! I knew I wanted to take a program to improve my Longevity and this was just the one to give me a great working plan! THANK YOU!

  • Michelle F.

    Honestly this was great! The techniques that were taught have been easy to implement. And just like the program says, it’s all about creating those healthy routines. I can say with certainty that I feel much more confident about choosing behaviors that promote my health.

  • Stephanie K.

    This was so refreshing! I was using a personal trainer but I wanted something more structured for helping me with “life” stuff — and I was so glad I did it. I did the 3 week program on habits, exercise and nutrition. Thanks Atlas! Looking forward to other programs.

  • Alex F.

    Dr. Frangopoulos was prompt and supportive any time I reached out with questions. My health knowledge increased and knowing that this program presented trustworthy information made me feel more confident moving forward. Two thumbs up.

  • Nick F.

    Dr. Cristo is a fantastic trainer who helpd me refocus my workouts and nutritional goals. He designed an 8-week program which kept things fresh and engaging. Overall, my plan with AtlasMD360 helped me lose 10 pounds in 8 weeks and improved my nutrition and lifestyle approach. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
