Be the expert in Lifespan Fitness!

Youth and senior clients have vastly different needs when it comes to personal training. If personal trainers want to positively impact their youth and senior clients for life-lasting results, they need to understand the fundamental differences in training these demographics.

The ISSA Lifespan Coach Certification gives you the specific knowledge and skills you need to train youth and senior clients. Find out how to give youth clients the motivation and guidance they need to continue healthy habits into adulthood as you instill the value of health and fitness at an early age. While also learning how to train aging or senior clients to decrease risks caused from inactivity through carefully regimented fitness routines to keep them feeling young, vibrant and healthy.

The Importance of a Certified Lifespan Coach

Obesity in youth is simply still too high, with 13.7 million children affected today. And on the other end of the spectrum, at an estimated 73 million, the baby boomer generation is the second-largest demographic just after millennials. And with both groups looking for solutions to their specific health concerns, they need individual guidance to help them create active and healthy lifestyle habits.

As an ISSA Certified Lifespan Coach, you can learn how to teach kids to value a healthy lifestyle – and be a proactive source to helping prevent and decrease childhood obesity numbers. With your certification you will be able to help the youngest generation get excited about exercise and strive to stay active as they get older. You’ll also learn how to approach instructing a senior client. You’ll gain the knowledge to help them understand their bodies changing needs and how to prevent injuries. But most importantly, you’ll be able to help both age groups increase their quality of life. With ISSA’s Lifespan Coach Certification, you’ll make a change in your client’s life through an understanding of health and fitness that they can appreciate no matter where they are in life.
