Level 1: Successful Ageing for the Mid-Age/Older Adult

Personal trainers help their clients improve their quality of life in many ways.  A particular focus is ensuring clients age successfully and can continue to pursue their physical and mental health goals, hobbies or interests.  Canadians have a life expectancy of 82 years of age and one in five Canadians are at least 65 years of age. Hence, you have probably heard the phrase: "you're not getting any younger!"  Join Brian on a comprehensive, highly practical journey on developing programs for clients 45+ setting them up to age successfully and increase the number of years of life lived in good health.
This is an online/in-person hybrid course and the breakdown is listed in the description below.  Certificate of Completion will be emailed upon completion of the course.

In this Level 1 course you will learn:

  • Joint-by-Joint Theory and Neuromuscular Stress Reflexes

  • importance of VT1 (breathing) testing for the Older Adult population and how to program from it

  • balance progression training that will improve stability

Huge thank you for all your help and especially your support and encouragement as we worked our way through the Group Fitness Practicum. Going into it I wasn’t sure how well I would do, thought I’d manage to scrape through to get the certification, but you were so encouraging and helpful, tolerant of my miscues and off beat’s, my deer in the headlights look when I ran out of step patterns before you changed the music....the group was a lot of fun. I also appreciate your help with the technology piece, made my life a lot less stressful.

Erin K.

I would like to say thank you for being a wonderful instructor in The Group Fitness Instructor Theory course. You are very dedicated, details and kind instructor. I loved your lecture. Your lecture was very easy to understand, and I think it is the most important for the lecture especially when you teach students with no health science background.

Just wanted to say thank you for the instruction, tips and encouragement you provided in the Group Fitness Instructor Training. I initially had no intentions of teaching Group Fitness to music, however, after taking your class I'm excited to pursue working in this style of group fitness. I'm aware that I am far from teaching but at least you've given me the tools to pave my way to become a better instructor. You are extremely good at what you do and it shows.
