What You’ll Learn From This Course:

Upon completion of this Active Aging Suspension Training course, fitness trainers will:

  • Have a clear understanding of what APT is and how it impacts the body and the mind.

  • Recognize the benefits of APT, especially as they relate to older, more mature clients.

  • Be able to explain how ATP movements stimulate new neural pathways and enhance the physical adaptation response.

  • Recognize various anchor point training tools and how each is used.

  • Know how to create and adapt a functional APT program for older clients using a variety of intensities and with different dimensions of resistance.

  • Recognize how to help older adults reach their fitness goals using APT methodologies.

How You Can Use It:

Training older clients requires a different approach than training younger clients. These approaches must take into consideration the way aging impacts the body, also factoring in age-related conditions or movement dysfunctions. Anchor point training (APT) provides a functional training approach for clients of all ages, regardless of their current fitness levels and abilities, while this certification program focuses specifically on training older adults.

Trainers who complete this anchor point training certification program gain access to another training tool, enabling them to offer more services to their more mature clients. Additionally, this tool can be modified in intensity and design, enabling trainers to adjust the training protocol to their clients’ limitations and needs.

Since APT places the focus on functional movements, these exercises can make everyday actions easier as well. This means that, as an APT trainer, your exercise program can provide numerous benefits that extend beyond the fitness session.

APT certification can help enhance a trainer’s credibility while highlighting their expertise in fitness programs for older adults. This can be beneficial whether the trainer works solely with older clients or with clients of all ages but want their older clientele to know that they understand effective fitness program design for the aging body.
