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).  

We deliver classes in Reston, VA at Mindshift Gym. The price is $499.  We just completed a class and are in the process of scheduling the next one; please email us at certificate@pkmove.org for more information or to be put on the list to be notified when we schedule it.
