If children are our future, we're in big trouble. Dr. Hugh D. Allen stated in USA Today that 30 million of the 80 million kids alive today in the US will die of heart disease as adults, unless current trends change. And that’s not all. A wide variety of health problems have all been linked to childhood obesity.
Youth fitness training is one of the fastest-growing segments in the health club and fitness industry. Not only can you change lives, you can earn a great living or substantially increase your current income. The gift of fitness is one that many parents will readily give their children, especially if they know how important fitness is to a young life.
ISSA’s youth fitness trainer certification helps you show kids how to develop a winning attitude that will make them better athletes. A great compliment to a physical education career path, the course teaches proven techniques that will treat and prevent obesity before it causes a lifetime of health problems.

The Problem
If children are our future, we're in big trouble. Obese and physically unfit kids will become sick adults. It is a scientific fact. Dr. Hugh D. Allen stated in USA Today that 30 million of the 80 million kids alive today in the US will die of heart disease as adults, unless current trends change. Diabetes, asthma, sleep apnea, learning disabilities, and eating disorders have all been linked to childhood obesity.
The cause is simple: kids eat poorly, and are not active enough. Period. Look around you the next time you're in a grocery store, mall or amusement park. Parents and relatives can make excuses, but the fact remains: too many kids, rich and poor, are fat and out of shape. It is a shame and it is dangerous.
The Solution
You can make a difference. You can help prevent this epidemic that impairs socialization and early learning. You hold the key to changing the outcome of children's lives by introducing them to physical activities they enjoy.
Our Youth Fitness Trainer curriculum equips you to:
- Help overweight kids lose weight and keep it off. The course teaches proven techniques that will treat and prevent obesity before it causes a lifetime of health problems.
- Improve health and boost performance in children by promoting principles of sports nutrition for kids. The course takes complicated information and presents it simply without sacrificing content or thoroughness.
- Help kids develop a winning attitude that will make them better athletes. The YFT course devotes two sections to sports psychology in children.
- Deal with coaches, parents, physicians, and school administrators to help kids improve in sports without putting you in legal jeopardy. Methods covered will improve business success and help establish a good reputation in the community.
- Learn basic exercise physiology and biomechanics that apply to kids and teens.
- Learn the latest on drugs, supplements, and sports.
