About this course
This is the perfect specialism if you want to broaden your client base. The older adult population continues to grow, and specially tailored exercise classes have become increasingly popular. Throughout the course, you’ll learn a variety of ways you can adapt your training methods to deliver exercise programmes to this population in a way that is fun, safe, and effective for them.
Not only will you have the chance to expand your own expertise and client base – you’ll also make a significant impact in the lives of the older adult population! This CPD course is an excellent complement to any other fitness qualifications you may hold, such as Personal Training, Yoga, Pilates, or Exercise to Music.
Supporting Physical Activity for Older Adults can be used to teach group exercise classes or in one-on-one sessions with your older adult clients.
Expand your client base by specialising in exercise for older adults—one of the fastest-growing demographics in the UK. With over 11 million people aged 65 and over and projections estimating that by 2043, nearly a quarter of the population will be over 65, the demand for tailored exercise programs is greater than ever. This course equips you with the skills to design and deliver fun, safe, and effective fitness sessions that cater to the unique needs of older adults, helping them stay active, independent, and healthy. Stay ahead of the curve by tapping into this thriving market!
Please note that this qualification is designed to help you train older adults who are in overall good health. If you’d like to work with older adults who have mobility issues or serious health conditions, additional qualifications are recommended.
