Certification

Are you a fitness professional who works with older adults?  Do you want to expand the tools you have to engage your clients?  Then we have the program for you.

Our 12 hour curriculum is delivered over 2 days and includes:

• Connecting basic movement techniques to how to improve safety.  Think how knowing the right way to land a jump can make stepping off a curb safer.

• Modifying basic movement and strength training for older adults.  Think always jumping up, not down.

• A curriculum for an 8 week research based program, including (fun) homework for students.

We also refer certified coaches to facilities and programs with older adults and solicit certified coaches to teach the classes we run. To participate in the referrals and teach classes, you must be CPR certified and pass a background check.  We prefer that you also have a fitness certification (e.g. NASM, ACE, AAFA, etc).  

Our next certification class is March 13-14 in Reston VA at Mindshift Gym. The early bird price until Feb. 15 is $499, and after Feb 15 is $599.  Reach out at certificate@pkmove.org for more information.
