Advantage Education (formerly Cloud9Fitness) was formed in 2006 by a group of physicians, physical therapists, and personal trainers in Saint Louis, Missouri.  The group began creating continuing education courses because of the desire to improve the clinical skills of all fitness professionals.  Each course teaches a unique combination of skills from each professional practice.  The catalog of courses are approved by ACE, ACSM, AFAA, AFPA, CHEK, COOPER, ISSA, NASM, NATA, NETA, NFPT, and NSCA.
