About this Event

<h4 />


<h4>We are hosting TWO courses on March 30th!</h4>

They are $125.00 for each 4-hour course OR receive 30% off the second course after registration for the first.

The morning course is the business course. For those interested in starting a Functional Fitness, Group Exercise program for seniors, this is a nuts and bolts course that addresses the blind spots gym owners and trainers often have when creating a program for seniors.

The afternoon course is a practical course on movement for seniors. Again, that term "blind spot" is raised as we show you TRUE functional movements for seniors that can be programmed in a fun, safe but EFFECTIVE way and scaled to any level of independently ambulatory senior.

These courses complement each other for those interested in starting or growing an existing senior fitness program.

Sign up for both and receive 30% off the second course. Upon the purchase of one, email us for the discount code for the second.


<h4>8:00 AM to 12:00 PM
</h4>


The course is designed for fitness trainers, coaches, or health professionals looking to build a program serving older adults. This program can provide an additional line of revenue for an existing facility. It can fill traditionally slow hours in a gym or clinic. It can round out a fitness community by providing meaningful outcomes that inspire the young and old. And yes, it can be or become a freestanding gym solely for seniors. Serving seniors can benefit your business in almost any way you want it to.

Course Features:

  • Learn why you should add a seniors program to your gym (global solution to an aging world, operations, schedule, financial)
  • Understand and communicate how fitness practitioners and health professionals (and seniors) are MISTAKENLY led to believe that physical, neurological, cardiovascular, pulmonary, mental, and functional weakness is an inevitable part of again
  • Identify and implement the perfect flow of your new senior athletes from intake to scaling movements
  • Learn programming considerations for seniors that reduce risk, produce results, and enhance retention
  • Understand new functional movement guidelines and scaling to help you create a program that produces a higher level of independent living for seniors
  • Level up your coaching team by enhancing their view and library of scaling options
  • Grasp and respect generational considerations between coaches and senior athletes
  • Get informed about specific equipment and space considerations
  • And much more!

We have extensive backgrounds and years (and years!) of experience in both health and fitness, business operations, and development, including treating (clinically) and training (in a fitness environment) seniors for OVER 40 YEARS! We can tell you that almost everything works if you can get a "senior" to move more. Seriously! But your goal should be to create a program that:

  • helps seniors continue living independently
  • makes seniors stronger, faster, and more "athletic"
  • creates a community so that widows and widowers have the support they may otherwise miss in today's techy, online world (lowers loneliness, depression, and anxiety)
  • lowers healthcare costs and "time" (doctor visits), which is an anti-depressant itself!
  • provides new goals at an age where many seniors are simply living out their last few decades - athletic goals are some of the best to establish later in life

Upon completing this course you'll also have access to the presenters, and their gym as a resource! We currently serve over 100 seniors in our program - training three to five times per week. Our mission is to help other gyms and trainers create programs that serve seniors in their fight to live independently in this modern world. Many of our athletes have trained with us for over 8 years - so we can teach you how to retain clients, making the current day "marketing wheel" less of a priority - more time with your athletes!

Only 10 participants will be accepted into this course for an intimate learning experience. We are a small business and prioritize the relationship over the crowd.

<h4>1:00 PM to 5:00 PM
</h4>


This live course is an ideal starting point for new trainers and fitness coaches or a specialty course for those who want to sharpen their skills working with the senior population. Learn to coach functional movements and scale them in a safe yet effective manner.

In this hands-on learning event, we will cover the full spectrum of functional movement training for seniors, including true functional movements that help seniors live better. And this may be a cut to the "traditional" seniors programs out there that promote chair-based exercises that don't make seniors better on their feet; or tiny pink dumbbells or light bands that don't give seniors an advantage on that 8-pound gallon jug of water or their 35-pound dog. Let's get real: living on your own at 80 years old can be hard! Learn to truly help these seniors thrive!

Course Features:

  • Slow, strength-building movements and exercises
  • Fast, dynamic movements and exercises
  • Bodyweight exercises
  • HIIT training for capacity
  • Mobility exercises (hidden in the functional movements)

Limited Enrollment!

Only 10 participants will be accepted into this course for an intimate learning experience. We will have several of our senior athletes on site so that our practical work has some "teeth" and you can truly see how modern aging creates a need to specialize when working with seniors in a fitness setting.
