Senior Fitness Specialist Program

Updated and Enhanced Just For You

This certification class is for health and fitness professionals wanting to gain the knowledge, training, and competency needed to assess fitness levels, design fitness programs and provide motivating exercise instruction for older adults. The population of individuals 65 and older is increasing rapidly. This presents personal trainers with multiple opportunities to work with clients as they age, but requires specialized knowledge and training, because chronic medical conditions will alter older adults’ need for and response to exercise. This course teaches you the proper exercise techniques, stretching, programming and safety your older adult clients need. Upon completion of this course, you will be able to: 
- Identify the key age-related changes in physiology and fitness levels.
- Demonstrate safe and effective exercises for older adults.
- Perform fitness assessments for older adults.
- Design exercise prescriptions for older adults.
- Assist older clients in developing short- and long-term goals.
- Incorporate behavioral change strategies into your programs for older adults

Special note: This course has a built-in online exam to test for a national certification. For more course information or to enroll, visit: Senior Fitness Specialist
